FAQ
Join us for an unforgettable girls' trip to Turkey, where we’ll explore the vibrant city of Istanbul and the breathtaking region of Cappadocia.
In Istanbul, we’ll immerse ourselves in the rich history and culture, visiting iconic landmarks like the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and bustling Grand Bazaar, while enjoying the local cuisine and lively atmosphere.
Then, we’ll venture to Cappadocia, known for its surreal landscapes of fairy chimneys and cave dwellings, where we’ll experience the magic of hot air balloons at sunrise and explore ancient underground cities. It’s the perfect blend of adventure, culture, and bonding with the girls!

The Itinerary
Day 1 - Istanbul
Welcome to Turkey! Arrive at our beautiful hotel in Istanbul, and get a little rest before heading to our Welcome Dinner.
(Dinner Included)
​
Day 2 - Istanbul
​
Our day begins with a visit to Seven Hills restaurant where we will enjoy a traditional Turkish breakfast with breathtaking views of the Hagia Sophia (and obviously the best photo ops!). Next will be a visit to Dolmabahce Palace and the iconic Spicy Bazaar where we'll get to taste every flavor of Turkish Delight you could ever imagine, along with Turkish teas and of course, spices. After lunch, we'll take a private yacht tour of the Bosphorus
Day 3 - Istanbul
​
Today we get to experience all Istanbul has to offer with visits to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Hippodrome and finally, a visit to the Grand Bazaar (the world's largest market where I guarantee you'll buy so much, you'll need an extra suitcase! Which you can actually buy at the Bazaar for a great price!)
Day 4 - Istanbul
After we visit Fener, Balat, and Galata (so many colors, you'll want to take allll the pictures!), we'll have some free time to enjoy the rest of our last day in Istanbul before heading to Cappadocia tomorrow!
Days 5, 6 & 7
(Cappadocia)
​
We will leave Istanbul at around 10 am to fly to Cappadocia (flight included) and arrive in the magical city at around 2:00, where we will check into our cave hotel and have the rest of the day free to explore. It's a small, and very peaceful place, you'll feel like you've been transported in time.
​
Day 2 in Cappadocia is what we've all been waiting for and it's a BIG day, so get plenty of rest the night before- Early morning sunrise hot air balloon!! We'll have the option of witnessing the hot air balloons on the ground (which is what I did and it was one of the best experiences of my life) or for an additional fee ($400 but price may vary), take a ride in a hot air balloon. After breakfast we'll take a full tour of the city where we'll see the Goreme Open Air Museum, Fair Chimneys, Love Valley, and then a visit to Avanos to witness how they make their gorgeous pottery. We'll then head back to the hotel for a bit of rest before going to Turkish Night (music, dance, food and alcohol all included!)
​​
Day 3, our final full day in Cappadocia, will consist of ATV rides OR horse back riding and shopping, including the ever famous carpet shop. We'll enjoy a farewell dinner together as we reminisce on all the amazing memories we've just made together.
Day 8 - Fly back to Istanbul
After one last breakfast together, we will fly back to Cappadocia and head home from there. I miss you already, but remember, it's not goodbye, it's see you later :)
