See the impossibly blue natural hot springs of Pamukkale, formed in terrace shaped by high calcium bicarbonate and used as a spa since the 200 BC

Is this trip right for you?
This is a relatively fast paced trip which will allow you to see the iconic highlights in Turkey in a short period of time. There's very limited time in Istanbul on the trip so we highly recommend spend more time in this incredible city. Please consult with your booking agent if you wish to book extra accommodation before or after the trip in Istanbul.

A fantastic family holiday with a great guide. A great opportunity to discover more about this amazing county, with so rich a history. It was a great adventure and we created many memories which will remain with us for a long time.

Such a memorable family holiday! It is quite fast paced but we got to see and experience so much. Many highlights including a balloon ride, boat trip, marbling workshop etc etc. Our 6,13 and 18 year old loved it. We thoroughly enjoyed the underground caves and ruins of Ephesus. Thanks to our guide , who made our trip! so much knowledge and brilliant organisation. Would highly recommend this Intrepid trip

I’ve taken the Turkey family trip with my family, including our 2 teenage daughters and we thought the itinerary, activities and the balance between culture, history and enjoyable activities were quite well selected and balanced. You get to see a good sample of Turkey most interesting sites in various regions. We were also privileged to have an excellent guide, the best I have ever had, which was a game changer for this experience. That said, the selection of accommodation in hotels was overall quite disappointing - with one or two exceptions we stayed in pretty bad hotels that would not in my opinion justify giving this trip the classification within the “Comfort” level. Also, replacing a 4 star hotel mentioned in the program with a 2 star very bad hotel is not acceptable (this is not what “or similar” means). For the amount we have paid we should absolutely have had a better experience. Additionally the communication with Intrepid before the travel on administrative elements was very poor and I was surprised to have had so many examples of miscommunication.

Turkey is the perfect family adventure destination. You get overnight trains, swimming in the Med, gorging yourself on Turkish food and some stunning scenery, history, and culture. Both kids and adults loved it. This is a whirlwind trip with some long and early travel days, and lots of single night stays.

Our Turkey Family Holiday was excellent! We traveled with our 5&10 year olds and had a wonderful time together. The itinerary is jam-packed full of activities but we still had time to relax and enjoy our time together.

What a wonderful experience for our family and the other families. The children had a wonderful time playing together as we explored this incredible country on a packed but fulfilling itinerary. Our tour leader Ozan was knowledgeable, adaptable, capable, empathetic and just fantastic.

Travelling with intrepid was a fantastic way to see a variety of Türkiye’s historic and geographic beauty. The guide made this family trip a delight, with smooth transportation, an abundance of knowledge and a great rapport with adults and kids. We’ll have a lot of family memories from this trip!
