About Turkey

Turkey is a transcontinental country, with Istanbul itself straddling the Bosphorus strait between its European and Asian sides, though the vast majority of its territory — the Anatolian peninsula — lies in Asia. Ankara, not Istanbul, is the capital. Turkish is the official language, the Turkish lira is the currency, and the country's history spans the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, whose layered architecture, from Hagia Sophia to the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace, still defines Istanbul's skyline.

Beyond Istanbul, Turkey's geography offers genuinely different kinds of trip: Cappadocia's eroded valleys and fairy-chimney rock formations in central Anatolia, best known for its sunrise hot-air balloon flights; the Aegean and Mediterranean coast around Antalya, Bodrum, and the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale; and eastern Turkey, further off the standard circuit, with Mount Nemrut's mountaintop statues and the ancient monasteries and old stone architecture around Mardin. Voyzo's routes cover all of these, from the classic Istanbul–Cappadocia–Antalya triangle to itineraries that push into the east.

Given the distances involved, Voyzo runs Turkey as multi-day private circuits with a driver and vehicle for transfers and excursions, using domestic flights to connect regions that are too far apart to drive between comfortably.

Plan Your Visit

Know Before You Go — Turkey

Best Time to Visit

April–May and September–October bring mild weather for Istanbul and are Cappadocia's best balloon-flying months (calmer winds). Summer (June–August) is hot along the Aegean and Mediterranean coast, and Cappadocia balloon flights are weather-dependent year-round.

Getting Around

Turkey is large enough that domestic flights link Istanbul, Cappadocia, and Antalya or the east, while a private driver covers ground transfers and day excursions within each region.

Weather & What to Pack

Coastal summers are hot and dry; Cappadocia and central/eastern Anatolia see a bigger day-to-night temperature swing and colder winters. Layers matter more inland than on the coast.

Money & Tipping

Turkey uses the Turkish lira, though prices at some tourist-facing businesses are also quoted in euros or dollars. Tipping 10% at restaurants and for guides/drivers is customary.

Language

Turkish is the official language. English is common in Istanbul and major tourist areas, less so in smaller towns in central and eastern Anatolia.

Local Etiquette

Modest dress (covered shoulders and, for women, a headscarf on hand) is expected when entering mosques like the Blue Mosque or Hagia Sophia.
