Our recent trip to Turkey with Pick Your Trail was nothing short of amazing, especially since it was our infant's first international trip. Having traveled with Pick Your Trail for two other international trips in the past, they have always been our go-to choice for organizing travel. With each trip, they have consistently exceeded our expectations, and this time was no different. First and foremost, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Shafira from the sales team. From the very beginning, she was incredibly attentive and took the time to understand our needs, which were a bit more complex since we were traveling with a 10-month-old. Her patience, expertise, and personalized approach made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. Shafiras guidance through every detail, from flight options to accommodations and sightseeing, gave us the confidence that our trip would be in great hands. We also owe a special mention to Shreya from the Pick Your Trail support team. During our trip, we faced an unexpected situation where we missed our return flight. Shreyas support was invaluable during this stressful time. She worked tirelessly to coordinate with us, ensuring our safe return back to India. Not only did she help us arrange a stay and transportation during this difficult time, but she also made sure everything was handled efficiently, allowing us to stay calm and focused. Her dedication to ensuring we were well taken care of truly stood out. Thanks to the wonderful team at Pick Your Trail, our Turkey trip became a memorable experience that we will cherish forever. The seamless support, attention to detail, and excellent customer service reaffirmed why we continue to trust them for our travel needs. We look forward to many more trips with Pick Your Trail in the future! A huge thank you to everyone involved your efforts made this trip a stress-free and unforgettable experience for our family!Arvind A, Trip to Turkey

Turkey backpacker-edition: A 14-Night 15-Day Itinerary

Embarking on a 14-night adventure through Turkey offers you a tapestry of timeless history, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant cultures. From the bustling streets of Istanbul to the serene beauty of Cappadocia and the stunning seaside views in Antalya, each stop in this enchanting country tells a story. As a seasoned traveler who roamed through Turkey on foot, I found each city and village contributes to a truly unforgettable experience that stays with you long after you’ve left its sun-drenched shores.

Highlights of the Destination

  • Istanbul’s Ottoman Splendor: Wander through opulent palaces, ancient mosques, and bustling bazaars where history whispers in every corner.
  • Cappadocia’s Otherworldly Landscape: Discover fairy chimneys and rugged terrain before taking a hot air balloon ride at sunrise—one of life’s must-do experiences.
  • Antalya’s Idyllic Coastline: Relax on pristine beaches or explore ancient ruins that dot the Turkish Riviera. The sunsets here are simply magical.
  • Göreme’s Cultural Charm: Lose yourself in its quaint streets and visit the Göreme Open-Air Museum to immerse in Byzantine art and history.

Travel Tips for Turkey

  • Dress Modestly at Religious Sites: When visiting mosques, ensure you’re dressed appropriately. A scarf is handy for women.
  • Try Local Cuisine: Dive into delicious dishes like Meze, Kebabs, and Baklava to truly experience Turkish culture.
  • Stay Hydrated: Turkey’s warm climate requires you to drink plenty of water, especially during city tours.
  • Early Morning Balloon Rides: Book your hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia early to catch breathtaking views of the sunrise over the lunar landscape.

Conclusion

Turkey is not just another travel destination; it's a transformative experience that invites you to explore, learn, and create lasting memories. In this 14-night backpacker edition itinerary, every moment spent is steeped in history, culture, and adventure. Pack your bags, embark on this journey, and let Turkey enchant you with its beauty and spirit. You'll leave with stories to tell and a heart full of memories.

We had a good time at Turkey, coutsey PYT. Our stay at Antalya, Goreme and Istanbul was comfortable. Travel was super comfortable as the quality of vehicles provided was very good, no inconvenience despite of shared transfer. Itinerary was planned nicely by Mridula especially for Antalya and Capadocia. We faced little hassle and hiccups at Istanbul airport due to miscommunication amongst pickup staff and Blue Mosque was planned for Friday, which remains closed on Friday due to weekly prayers. So we regret missing the most prominent monument in Istanbul. Rest we loved our stay in Turkey. 24*7 helpline by PYT is a big boon in foreign land.
