Turkey Trip Review: Istanbul, Cappadocia, Antalya, Kaymakli Underground City, Turquoise Coast, Balloon Ride, 2 Weeks

Zicasso’s travel specialist planned a wonderful private itinerary for me and my parents, covering Istanbul, Cappadocia, Antalya, and many locations in between. There was incredible variety; we saw mosques and bazaars, took a boat along the Turquoise Coast, visited an underground city, and rode in balloons.

One of my parents has mobility issues and the travel specialist and our guide made great efforts to accommodate. They were also open to feedback and made quick adjustments throughout the trip, where necessary. Our guide was constantly available, which made our journey very comfortable and easy. This was the trip of a lifetime and a special memory for my family.
