Travel notes
This is a well balanced tour with a combindation of one and two
nights stays. Day eight has been left completely at leisure for
guests to relax. Perhaps enjoy the beach or explore the shops. In
destinations where you stay for just one night, the driving days
are not too long with frequent stops for sightseeing. Hotels are
centrally located in every major city and feature well-known names
you can trust such as Sheraton and Hilton. You will also stay in
some of the best scenic locations in Canakkale, Kusadasi,
Pamukkale, Antalya, Konya and Cappadocia.
