Ranked as one of the world's most-visited countries, Turkey offers an accessible, high-value travel experience blending vibrant Mediterranean culture with deeply ingrained hospitality. Follow this 5-day itinerary to explore this vibrant country.

Day 1 — Arrive in Istanbul & Explore Galata: Arrive in Istanbul, settle into your hotel and spend your first evening discovering the vibrant Galata and Karaköy neighbourhoods, with cafés, local food and lively streets.

Day 2 — Explore the Highlights of Istanbul: Discover Istanbul’s iconic landmarks with the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Arasta Bazaar and Topkapı Palace, followed by a relaxed evening of rooftop cocktails and Turkish dining.

Day 3 — Bosphorus, Spice Bazaar & Cappadocia: Start the day with a traditional breakfast and a visit to the colourful Spice Bazaar, cruise along the Bosphorus before flying to Cappadocia and checking into your unique cave hotel.

Day 4 — Hot-Air Balloon & Fairy Chimney Valleys: Rise early for an unforgettable hot-air balloon flight over Cappadocia, followed by an exploration of its spectacular fairy chimneys, valleys and otherworldly landscapes.

Day 5 — Explore Beneath Cappadocia: Journey beneath the surface of Cappadocia to discover its fascinating underground cities, ancient cave settlements and dramatic rock formations.

The best time to visit Turkey is during the spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October). We have added budget and luxurious stays to the itinerary.

What you get

  • 6 days, in order — where to be each morning, afternoon and evening, with the travel between them.
  • Where to stay — the nights in each place, with links that open the hotel for your dates.
  • Places and food by name — real restaurants and sights, each opening on the map, never "a local eatery".
  • What it costs — a budget summary per traveller, and what to carry in cash.
  • Yours to keep — a PDF you can read on your phone offline, and in the app.

Best time to go: April to May & Sep to Oct

Before you buy

What exactly do I get?

The full 6-day itinerary, day by day: timings, real places with map links, stays, and food. You can read it in your browser or download the PDF, both the minute you pay. It also sits in your account, so you can open it again from any device, and the GST invoice is emailed with it.

Is there any support after I buy?

Yes, and it is free. If something in the plan does not suit you — a stay outside your budget, a different transport option, restaurants for a dietary need, or combining this with another itinerary — tell us and one of us will sort it out with you on WhatsApp. Message +91 98733 95006 or write to hello@diytinerary.com. We reply on weekdays.

These are not my dates. Can I still use it?

Yes. The itinerary is written by day, not by date, so it works whenever you go — the seasonal notes tell you what changes. If you would rather have it built around your actual dates, group and budget, use Adapt this itinerary for my dates above: that is a new itinerary written for you, and it costs less than one written from scratch.

Can I change the stops?

Not on this one — we have no other Turkey itinerary close enough to lift a stop from. If you want a different route, ask for a custom itinerary and we will plan it around the stops you name.

Is it refundable?

A ready-made itinerary is a file you receive immediately, so it is not refundable as a matter of course. A refund can be requested within 24 hours of a first purchase, and we look at genuine problems case by case — if the document will not open or is not what the page described, tell us and we will fix it or refund it. The full terms are on our refund and cancellation page.

Is GST included?

Yes. The price you see is the final amount, with 18% GST already inside it. Nothing is added at the payment screen, and the invoice carries your state as the place of supply. If you are buying for a company, add the GSTIN on the form and the invoice comes with it so you can claim the input credit.
