J'ai récemment eu l'occasion de participer à un voyage organisé par une Elsa en Turquie, et je tiens à partager mon expérience. Nous avons visité Istanbul et la Cappadoce entre amis pour la semaine du nouvel an, et tout était vraiment incroyable ! Tout d'abord, l'organisation était impeccable. Chaque détail avait été soigneusement planifié, ce qui nous a permis de profiter pleinement de notre séjour sans stress. Les activités étaient variées et bien choisies, offrant un bel équilibre entre, histoire et moments de détente. Nous avons séjourné dans un hôtel bien situé, proches de toutes commodités et des visites que nous avions prévues de faire comme la mosquée Sophia, mosquée Bleue, les citernes… etc ce qui a rendu notre expérience encore plus agréable. En Cappadoce nous avons eu un hôtel vraiment typique, propre avec une vue imprenable sur le levé du soleil et les montgolfières qui s’élèvent sur la ville le matin. L’hôte était de bons conseils et très serviable. Tout était parfait. Je tiens également à remercier notre organisatrice pour sa disponibilité et son professionnalisme. Grâce à elle, nous avons découvert des magnifiques endroits et vécu des moments mémorables entre amis . Je la recommande à tous ceux qui cherchent à explorer ces magnifiques régions de Turquie !

Cities to Turkey

Why choose a custom tour in Turkey?

Turkey offers an exceptional geographical and cultural diversity that deserves a personalized approach. Unlike traditional tours, a custom journey allows you to explore this country of 783,562 sq km according to your desires and at your own pace.

A destination with a thousand facets

Your Turkey tour can take you from the shores of the Bosphorus to the beaches of the Mediterranean coast, through the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia. This land of contrasts is home to 18 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and more than 200 major archaeological sites. Each region reveals its unique character: Istanbul and its 15 million inhabitants, a symbol of the meeting between East and West; Cappadocia and its rock formations sculpted by erosion over millennia; or the Aegean Sea with its crystal-clear waters and ancient relics.

The advantage of customization with Vialala

Our local Travel Planners design your tour in Turkey based on your specific interests. Passionate about history? Your itinerary will focus on sites such as Ephesus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, or the Topkapi Palace which housed 25 Ottoman sultans for 400 years. Lover of gastronomy? We incorporate authentic culinary experiences in local markets and with residents. Family with children? Your program adapts with fun activities and suitable rhythms.

This personalized approach transforms your trip into a unique experience, far from the beaten paths of standardized tours. Our local experts let you discover secret places and offer you an authentic look at contemporary Turkish culture.

The highlights of your tours in Turkey

Your tour in Turkey reveals architectural, natural and cultural treasures of incredible richness. Each region deserves special attention to understand the deep soul of this transcontinental country.

Istanbul, a jewel between two continents

Istanbul is often the starting point for tours in Turkey. This metropolis of 15.5 million inhabitants spans 5,343 sq km and straddles two continents. The Hagia Sophia, built in 537 AD, showcases the Byzantine legacy with its 31-meter diameter dome. The Topkapi Palace, residence of the Ottoman sultans from 1465 to 1856, reveals its treasures in its four successive courtyards.

A cruise on the Bosphorus included in your itinerary offers a unique perspective on this city with 2,500 years of history. The strait, 32 kilometers long, separates Europe from Asia and is a strategic passage between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara. The Grand Bazaar, with its 4,000 shops spread over 31,000 sq m, remains one of the oldest covered markets in the world, founded in 1461.

Cappadocia and its magical landscapes

The region of Cappadocia extends over 15,000 sq km in the heart of Anatolia. Its unique geological formations, sculpted by volcanic erosion 60 million years ago, create a moonscape dotted with fairy chimneys. The Göreme National Park is home to more than 400 rock-hewn churches carved between the 4th and 11th centuries by Christian communities.

Your tour may include the discovery of underground cities like Derinkuyu, which descends on 8 levels and could shelter 20,000 people. These refuges demonstrate the ingenuity of the local populations in facing invasions. The experience of a hot air balloon flight at sunrise reveals the majesty of these exceptional landscapes.

The treasures of the Mediterranean coast

The Turkish Mediterranean coast stretches over 1,577 kilometers and offers a privileged climate with more than 300 days of sunshine per year. Antalya, nicknamed the "Turkish Riviera," welcomes more than 15 million visitors annually. Your tour may lead you to ancient sites like Perge, founded in the 12th century BC, or Aspendos with its Roman theater of 15,000 seats perfectly preserved.

The Aegean Sea reveals its turquoise waters along 2,805 kilometers of indented coasts. Ephesus, one of the most important cities of antiquity, had 250,000 inhabitants at its peak. Its Celsus Library, 17 meters high, and its theater with 25,000 seats illustrate the grandeur of this civilization.

Organizing your tour in Turkey: practical advice

The success of your trip depends on planning suited to the climatic and logistical specificities of the country. Our Travel Planners assist you in these crucial choices to optimize your experience.

When to go to Turkey

The Turkish climate varies greatly by region. The following table summarizes the best times according to your destinations:

Region Best period Average temperature Particularities
Istanbul April-October 15-25°C Avoid July-August (high influx)
Cappadocia May-September 20-30°C Severe winter (-5°C)
Mediterranean coast March-November 18-28°C Swimming possible for 8 months/year
Aegean Sea April-October 16-26°C Meltemi winds in July-August

The period from April to June and September to October offers the best conditions to explore the entire country. Temperatures remain pleasant, tourist influx decreases, and prices are more advantageous than in the peak summer season.

Duration and budget for your tour

A tour in Turkey requires at least 8 days to grasp the major sites. Here are our recommendations according to your goals:

  • Discovery tour (8-10 days): Istanbul, Cappadocia, and a coastal site, budget €1,200-€1,800 per person;
  • Comprehensive tour (12-15 days): add Ephesus, Pamukkale, and Antalya, budget €1,800-€2,500 per person;
  • Grand tour (18-21 days): complete exploration including the Black Sea coast and Eastern Anatolia, budget €2,500-€3,500 per person.

These rates include accommodation in 4-star hotels, meals, private transfers, entries to sites, and guidance by a French-speaking guide. Our Travel Planners adjust these services according to your preferences and budget, from homestay to historic palaces.

Beautiful Istanbul and its surroundings deserve at least 3 days for an initial approach. Allowing an extra day lets you visit Atatürk's mausoleum in Ankara, founder of the modern Turkish Republic, located 450 kilometers from the economic capital.

FAQ Turkey

What is the ideal duration for a first tour in Turkey?

For a first discovery, we recommend a tour of 10 to 12 days. This duration allows you to visit Istanbul (3 days), Cappadocia (2-3 days), a coastal site such as Antalya or the Ephesus region (2-3 days), while maintaining a comfortable pace. Our Travel Planners adapt this itinerary according to your interests and physical condition.

Is a visa required to travel to Turkey?

French nationals can enter Turkey with an identity card or a passport valid for at least 6 months after the return date. For a tourist stay of less than 90 days, no visa is necessary. Our experts assist you with all the administrative formalities and keep you informed of any regulatory changes.

How to get around during a personalized tour in Turkey?

Vialala prefers private transfers with a driver to optimize your comfort and flexibility. The significant distances between sites (Istanbul-Cappadocia: 730 km) sometimes justify the use of domestic flights, which we integrate into your itinerary. For shorter distances, our air-conditioned vehicles allow you to enjoy the landscapes while benefiting from the commentary of your local French-speaking guide.
