And the next two days, I spent exploring the city on my own by foot and by local transportation available.Īpart from the Fairy chimneys, Cappadocia is also a popular destination for people who love Hot Air Balloons. On the first day, I took a green tour in a group covering the fairy chimney, underground city, monastery, etc. You can explore the city on your own or take a group tour based on time which you have in Cappadocia. CappadociaĬappadocia is a wonder world and certainly a heart of Turkey that no one should miss. Let me detail out things which I covered in each of my stopovers.Īfter landing in Istanbul at around 3:00 PM in afternoon, I had a same day connecting flight at 6:00 PM for Navshahar and a shuttle booked in Navshahar airport to take me to my hostel booked in Gorame, Cappadocia. Leg 3: Selcuk > Izmir (by Train) > Istanbul (by Flight).Leg 2: Cappadocia > Pamukkale/Denzli (by Bus) > Selcuk (by Train).


Leg 1: Kuwait Airways > Landed in Istanbul > Turkish Air (to Cappadocia).So based on the number of days I had and the season, I picked up the below itinerary for my trip. I must say, to decide for a Turkey solo trip was a difficult choice but to decide what to see inside Turkey was even harder as there are so many things to see in Turkey that my 11 days vacation looked way too shorter. The decision to visit Turkey is something which makes me feel satisfied as a traveler. The mix of Europe and Asia in the beautiful city of Istanbul, fairy chimneys in Cappadocia, and Ephesus’ historical sites looked so exciting in the photos, videos, and the blogs I read that I couldn’t stop myself from visiting the same and experiencing it all on my own. Turkey has such lucrative landscape and culture which attract millions of visitors from across the globe and I wanted to be in that one in the million for sure, but the distance from India to Turkey so far that I really had to make up my mind that I will visit it no matter what.Īlso, after visiting quite a good number of countries in South East and East Asia, I was sure my next destination is going to be different from my past travel and Turkey fitted in very well in my requirement. I thought of sharing my Turkish experience with everyone, and if this blog could motivate at least one person to travel, I would consider this blog as successful one. It was a wonderful solo trip for 11 days where I had one of my best travel experiences traveling across Turkey at a very reasonable cost.

I was fortunate to turn my wish into reality. I must say this is the biggest myth, Turkey is expensive if you don’t plan your trip well and if you don’t know what is there to see in Turkey. There are many reasons why people couldn’t make it and one common reason which people give is “Turkey is beautiful but very expensive”. “I want to visit Turkey” is the line I often hear when I speak to other travel loving folks, but not all could turn their wish into reality.
