Turkey Round Trip 2 Weeks 2027: 15-Day Route, 3-Week Option and Prices

A 2-week Turkey round trip takes you through Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus and Pamukkale and ends with five nights by the sea at Antalya. Our Best of Turkey round trip of 15 days costs from $3,980 per person (about €3,562), with fourteen hotel nights, all domestic flights, transfers, guide and lunch on tour days; every route is listed among our Turkey tour packages. You choose the departure date yourself. If you are already in Turkey, we can often start within a few days and pick you up at your hotel in Istanbul. Send your dates on WhatsApp and you get a proposal the same day.

This page was written first in Dutch for travellers from the Netherlands and Flanders who are planning two or three weeks in Turkey and comparing a group round trip with a private one. Our prices were checked on 31 October 2026 and apply to 2027; euros are converted at the ECB rate of 30 October 2026 ($1 = €0.895).

Turkey round trip of 2 weeks: the route day by day

Best of Turkey round trip 15 days, from $3,980 per person

Two weeks is the usual summer holiday in the Netherlands and Flanders, and this route is built for exactly that: first ten days of culture and landscape, then five days of rest on the Mediterranean. This is how our Best of Turkey round trip of 15 days runs:

The first half is full. Between day 4 and day 10 you take three domestic flights, and between Kuşadası and Pamukkale there are about three hours of driving each way. That is why the rest days sit deliberately at the end, in Antalya, rather than spread across the trip.

What is in the 15 days, and what do you pay yourself?

Best of Turkey round trip 15 days, from $3,980 per person

Included are fourteen nights with breakfast in mid-range hotels from our selection (fixed only after your approval), all domestic flights, all transfers with airport meet-and-greet, the private Old City tour, the Bosphorus cruise with lunch, the hammam, the day with your own car, the Red and Green Tours, the Turkish night, Ephesus, Pamukkale, the boat trip and the Antalya city tour, plus lunch on tour days.

Not included are your flight from the Netherlands or Belgium, the balloon flight (standard from $199 per person), diving and water sports on the coast, drinks and personal expenses. The balloon is left out on purpose: every morning the Turkish aviation authority decides whether the balloons may take off, and with wind nobody goes up. Book it for your first morning in Cappadocia.

If you have fourteen days rather than fifteen, drop the last free day in Antalya; the rest of the route stays the same. Ask us for a price for thirteen nights.

Turkey round trip of 2 weeks without the beach, or shorter

Grand Turkey round trip 10 days, from $2,800 per person

Not everyone wants five days by the sea. A good alternative is our Grand Turkey round trip of 10 days from $2,800 per person (about €2,506), with the same route up to Pamukkale, followed by four extra nights wherever you like: longer in Istanbul, an extra morning in Cappadocia for the balloon, or a night in Pamukkale so you see the terraces at sunset. We price the extra nights by hotel; ask us for the price.

In winter, from December to March, we advise against the beach part anyway: Antalya is mild then but not for swimming. A trip with more Istanbul and a snowy Cappadocia works better.

If you have less than two weeks, see our page Turkey round trip Cappadocia Istanbul. The 6, 8 and 10-day routes are set out there day by day.

Turkey round trip of 3 weeks: extend on the coast or travel slower

Antalya old town private tour, from $90

Three weeks in Turkey is not too long, but we have no fixed 21-day round trip; we build it from the 15-day route. There are two ways, and they cost roughly the same number of extra hotel nights.

The first is an extra week on the coast. After day 14 you stay in Antalya or move somewhere quieter, and you add a few day trips. A boat trip to Suluada island with lunch costs from $50 per person, the boat trip to the sunken city of Kekova with Myra from $120, and the tour of Perge, Aspendos and Side from $90. This is the most popular choice for families in the summer holiday.

The second is the same programme at a slower pace. Five or six nights in Istanbul instead of three, four nights in Cappadocia and a night in Pamukkale, so you get up less early and do not pack your case every two days. If you want Greece as well, look at our Aegean Legends trip to Turkey and Greece of 15 days from $4,200 per person and extend it.

Cappadocia on the round trip: flights, cave room and balloon

Private Cappadocia tour package 4 days, from $750 per person

From Istanbul to Kayseri or Nevşehir the flight takes about 1 hour 20; from the airport you drive to Göreme or Ürgüp in an hour. Take your ID card or passport on the domestic flights, because it is checked at boarding. Baggage rules differ by airline; we send them with the proposal.

If you want to sleep in a cave room in Cappadocia, ask when you enquire: we change the hotel and tell you the price difference in advance. On a three-week trip it makes sense to give Cappadocia an extra night, so you have two mornings for the balloon. If you would rather arrange it separately, all the options are among our Cappadocia tour packages.

Group round trip or private round trip for 2 weeks?

Best of Turkey round trip 15 days, from $3,980 per person

In the Benelux most people know the group round trip from big tour operators such as ANWB, TUI, Corendon or Djoser. The format is fixed: a set departure date, a flight from Schiphol or a regional airport, a coach with a group and a programme that is the same for everyone, often with half board. On their sites in October 2026 we saw 15-day group round trips at around €1,350 to €1,800 per person, with the flight; Djoser also offers a 16-day round trip that starts in Istanbul. That is much cheaper than private, and a fine choice if you like travelling in company.

The difference lies in the hours and the freedom. A two-week group trip often covers the distances by coach, and Turkey is big: Istanbul and Cappadocia are more than 700 kilometres apart. On a private round trip you fly between the regions, choose the date yourself, and the transfers and city tours are for your party only. The Red and Green Tours in Cappadocia may run in a small group; the package page says which parts are private.

The guide speaks English as standard. A Dutch-speaking guide we arrange on request, subject to availability; we confirm the language for each date in writing before you pay. If Dutch is not possible, an experienced English-speaking guide is still available. We are a TÜRSAB-licensed travel agency (A group, no. 15751) and have organised private trips since 2010.

How much does a 2 or 3-week Turkey round trip cost in euros?

Cappadocia, Pamukkale and Ephesus 5 days from Istanbul, from $1,280 per person

Our prices are in dollars; the switch at the top of the site shows them in euros. The conversion below uses the ECB rate of 30 October 2026.

On a three-week trip the extra hotel nights come on top, which we price by hotel and season. Prices vary by season, hotel and what you add; ask us for today's price for your dates and group size.

On payment: many Dutch travellers are used to paying online straight away with a tour operator. With us you pay only after we have confirmed the programme and hotels in writing; we send the payment options with that confirmation.

Flights from the Netherlands and Belgium, ID card and time difference

Best of Turkey round trip 15 days, from $3,980 per person

From Schiphol, KLM flies nonstop to Istanbul at least once a day all year according to klm.nl, and Turkish Airlines flies several times a day to Istanbul Airport (IST), in about 3.5 hours. Pegasus flies to Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side, also from Eindhoven and Rotterdam. From Brussels, Turkish Airlines flies to IST. For the return, Antalya is handy: in season many charter airlines fly from Antalya to the Netherlands and Belgium, so a ticket out to Istanbul and back from Antalya is usually easy to find. Check the current timetable with the airline.

Dutch citizens can travel to Turkey with their ID card, according to NederlandWereldwijd (checked 31 October 2026); the document must be valid for at least 150 days on arrival. Belgians are also on the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs list (mfa.gov.tr) of countries whose citizens may enter with their identity card. No visa is needed for stays of up to 90 days, so three weeks is no problem either. If you change planes in a country where the ID card is not enough, take a passport.

Turkey stays on UTC+3 all year: in summer it is one hour later there than at home, in winter two. If you want to explore Istanbul on its own first, the details are in our guide Istanbul city break from the Netherlands.

School holidays 2027 and the best months for 2 weeks

Cappadocia, Pamukkale and Ephesus 5 days from Istanbul, from $1,280 per person

For a trip with culture and beach, May, June and September are ideal: warm enough to swim in Antalya and pleasant everywhere else. In July and August Ephesus and Pamukkale are hot and Istanbul is busy, but the coast is at its best; start your Ephesus days early. October is still pleasant on the coast.

Families from the South region can travel in late August and early September, when the heat eases. Keep the Turkish Feast of the Sacrifice in mind too, around 16 to 19 May 2027, when many Turks travel themselves and hotels fill up quickly. Flemish families have their summer holiday from 1 July to 31 August in 2027.
