How
to plan your trip to Turkey? Here's
what you need to know to do
it yourself, or take
a tour, or a mixture
of both.
Among the best
introductory tours to Turkey is Classical
Turkey, a 14-day
itinerary by Argeus
Tourism & Travel.

TAKE
A CITY TOUR OR EXCURSION
Take
a half- or full-day city tour to
get your bearings and see the major
sights before exploring on your own.
Or take an escorted excursion from
a major Turkish city to a nearby region
of interest. Mix and match these
services as you choose to design your
own unique itinerary. A good
travel agency will be
happy to help you plan and to make
all the arrangements.
DO
IT YOURSELF
Use TripKits,
my suggested daily itineraries. (See
also my Special
Interest Trips) and perhaps the
services of a licensed private
guide.
Excursions from Istanbul: From beach
day-trips to overnights or multi-day
excursions, here are the best ones.
1
to 5 Days: From a single
day in Istanbul to
a five-day Turkish
adventure, here are the TripKits you
need.
6
to 10 Days: You can see
all of Turkey's top sights and
enjoy its pleasures, too—even
a yacht
cruise or hot-air
balloon flight!
11
to 15 Days: More time
means more depth and more fun:
sidewalk cafes, beaches,
ancient ruins, and more.
16
to 23 Days: This is time
enough for a Grand Tour,
including sights off the beaten
path.
24
to 30+ Days: The whole
country is yours, even the adventurous East!
Here's how to make the best of
this generous amount of time.
