Editor’s Itinerary
Turkey
Duration: 17 Days
The beguiling cities and breathtaking landscapes of Turkey make this history-steeped country a destination worth as much time as your schedule allows. As we discovered on our recent visit, this ancient crossroads remains its wonderfully hospitable self, with an ever-increasing array of luxury hotels and world-class restaurants (Michelin recently awarded a constellation of stars in Istanbul).
An ideal first-time itinerary in Turkey would include an exploration of Cappadocia (famous for its surreal rock formations) and a relaxing spell on the Aegean Coast, bookended by stays in cosmopolitan Istanbul. Of course, this recommended routing can be easily customized to your specific preferences, and either expanded or contracted.
