The Best Road Trip Through Turkey: A 6 Day Itinerary

Taking a road trip in Turkey ended up being a wonderful decision. I found myself regularly wishing that driving here was as smooth as driving in Turkey.

If you’re considering a trip to Turkey, a road trip is a great option to see the country on your own schedule and see more of the beautiful countryside.

This itinerary adjusts easily to fit your own schedule or to add or take out any stops. Some places we wished that we stayed longer. Others we felt like we planned it perfectly.

DAY 1: ISTANBUL

We ate lunch on the way into Istanbul in a little shopping center and went to a grocery store to buy snacks for the road trip.

BLUE MOSQUE

People filled the courtyard area. Because it was a time of prayer, we opted not to go inside.

Day 1 & 2: Istanbul to Ephesus

We found Onhann Hotel on our way and stopped there for the night. While we did not stay long, the hotel was beautiful and the breakfast was a perfect start for our day.

Day 3: Pamukkale

Our hotel had their own thermal pool and regular pool for swimming and relaxing. When crowds fill the thermal pools of Pamukkale, head back and relax without the crowds at the hotel.
