Help with Turkey itinerary for 10-12 days
 

HI ,

i just planned to visit Turkey with my husband in mid october . Started looking at the places . Realised there is just too much to see but we just have 10 - 12 (max) days .

Based on what i could figure out i really want to go to Istanbul, Cappadocia , pamukkale and also spend some time on the beautiful beach of turkey.

can anyone guide me to select a beach . A beach which is not too expensive or very touristy but still has all the basic amenities and is equally beautiful .

Also if anyone can guide me to plan out this itinerary , how much time to dedicare to which place and also if i have missed out some place. My budget is to work out everything cheap or atleast not expensive.

Thanks in advance,
Goldenpot

anyone any suggestion ?

We just got back from our first time in Turkey.

You could spend 3 days in Istanbul, two days in Cappadocia, 2 days in Ephesus/Pamukkale. These would be the minimums for each spot - and doesn't include travel days!

This might give you some ideas...scanned photos of Cap, Pam, Ephesus, etc. I have selected pix of Istanbul also if you wish. It's a very tight schedule that you're working with. Travel times within Turkey can be extensive depending on mode of transportation. I would suggest flying to make the most of your short schedule. (The "beautiful beach" may be a problem reaching with your schedule).The turquoise coast has a number of places that would qualify...adding significantly to your travel time logistics. In my experience, beach-going in Turkey is not usually the prime goal of travelers to the region. The multitudes of initriguing sites far woutweigh the beach attraction for most visitors.
