Turkey Tour Packages from Denmark 2027: Routes, Flights from Copenhagen and Prices

A Turkey tour from Denmark usually means a flight from Copenhagen to Istanbul of about 3 hours 20 minutes, then a guided route of 6 to 15 days on the ground. We run these as private packages: the 6-day Premium Istanbul and Cappadocia package is $1,800 per person, the 8-day Istanbul and Cappadocia package is from $2,400, and the 15-day Best of Turkey route is from $3,980. Domestic flights, guides, entrance tickets and transfers are organised by us; the Danish flight is booked separately.

What a Turkey tour package from Denmark includes

Danes searching "rundrejse Tyrkiet" tend to find two kinds of offer: a fixed-date coach tour sold by a Danish agency, and a bundle where the flight and the hotels sit in one price. Ours is a third kind. We are a licensed agency in Istanbul (TURSAB A-group, no. A-15751), and the package starts when you land.

Included in the package prices: airport pick-up and drop-off in Turkey, every domestic flight between cities, licensed guides on tour days, entrance tickets to the listed sites, lunch on tour days, and transport during tours. Not included: your flight from Copenhagen, most dinners, tips and the Cappadocia balloon. Hotels are chosen city by city and added for your dates, so the price you see is the land programme without the bed.

The advantage of a private package is flexibility. You choose the start date, a guide in the language you prefer, and the pace. If you are two couples or a family of five, you do not wait for a bus to fill up. See also our page: Turkey tour packages from Hungary.

Which route: 6, 8, 10 or 15 days

Packages differ in length and in how many regions they cover. This is the full range from our price list.

Prices vary by season, hotel and what is included, so ask us for today's price. At about 6.5 DKK to the dollar (approx., check the rate on the day) $2,400 is roughly DKK 15,600 and $3,980 roughly DKK 25,900. We bill in US dollars, so the amount on a Danish card moves with the exchange rate and your bank may add a foreign-transaction fee.

Flights from Copenhagen

Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is the practical departure point. Turkish Airlines flies nonstop to Istanbul Airport (IST) in about 3 hours 20 minutes. Pegasus flies to Sabiha Gokcen (SAW), and some timetables list SAS too. Aggregator sites disagree on frequency, so check the airlines before booking. If you live in Jutland, ask whether your regional airport has seasonal service to Turkey; otherwise a domestic hop or the train to Kastrup is the usual way.

Our packages start and end at Istanbul, so you book a simple return. The 15-day Best of Turkey ends on the Antalya coast, so you can fly home from Antalya with a connection or take a short domestic flight back to Istanbul.

Book flights after the dates are agreed with us. That way the package can follow your flight and not the other way round, and a schedule change on the airline side does not break a fixed tour.

Istanbul and Cappadocia: the core of most trips

The Istanbul and Cappadocia pair is what most Danish visitors choose. Istanbul gives you Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and the bazaars; Cappadocia gives you the rock valleys, cave hotels and, on a clear morning, the balloons. The flight between the two is about 1 hour 20 minutes. Our 8-day package is from $2,400 per person and the 10-day version from $2,499. If you only have a long week, the 6-day Premium package at $1,800 fits two nights in Istanbul and three in Cappadocia.

The balloon is not in the package price. A standard sunrise flight is from $199 per person, and a more comfortable flight is from $275. Balloons depend on the wind and are cancelled on some mornings, so we plan Cappadocia with at least two mornings. See the Cappadocia tours from Istanbul page for flight details.

Adding Ephesus, Pamukkale or the coast

Many Danes know Turkey as a beach country first. If you want sea time as well as culture, the Istanbul and Antalya package from $1,980 adds the Mediterranean, and the 15-day Best of Turkey puts five nights near Antalya at the end. Our Turkey tour and beach holiday page covers how to split the days.

For ancient Greece and Rome, the 8-day Istanbul and Ephesus package from $1,880 gives you Ephesus with a licensed guide and a base in Kusadasi. The longer Grand Turkey 10-day package from $2,800 adds Cappadocia, and the private 8-day Turkey route includes Pamukkale. More ideas for the coast and other regions are on our sister site getturkiyetours.com.

How an 8-day route usually runs

A typical Istanbul and Cappadocia week, adjusted to your flight, looks like this. The first day is arrival and a free evening. Days two and three are Istanbul: the Old City with Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace, then the Bosphorus and the Spice Bazaar. Day four is a morning domestic flight to Kayseri or Nevsehir, then the Red or Green tour of the valleys. Day five can be the balloon at sunrise, then Goreme Open Air Museum and an underground city. Day six returns to Istanbul. The last full day is free for shopping or the Princes' Islands, and the final morning is the transfer to the airport.

Our guides set the order of sights around opening hours and crowds, not the other way round: Hagia Sophia early, the Grand Bazaar late morning, the cistern when the line is short. If you want to swap a museum for a long lunch or a hammam, say so; private packages change easily.

The same logic works for a family. With children, we shorten walking days, add the ferry and the Princes' Islands, and keep Cappadocia to cave houses and a pottery workshop. Ask us for a written day plan with your dates before you decide.

Small group or private?

The packages on this page are private. For a cheaper day-by-day approach, our Turkey small-group tours page lists shared tours you can combine with your own flights and hotels. Private suits families, couples who want a slower pace, and anyone who has special needs for food or walking distances. Small group suits solo travellers and anyone who prefers to meet other people.

For a feel of the cost per day, see Turkey tour packages from Sweden, which uses the same programmes with Swedish flight information, and the 10-day Turkey itinerary for a day-by-day plan.

Best time to go from Denmark

April to early June and mid-September to October are the best months for a route across Istanbul, Cappadocia and Ephesus: warm days, cool mornings and fewer queues. July and August are hot, with 35 C days at Ephesus, and Cappadocia can reach the low 30s in the afternoon. Winter is cold; Cappadocia in snow is attractive, with the balloons still flying on clear days, but the coast is not beach weather.

Danish school breaks work like this: the autumn break (week 42) suits a 6 or 8-day package, the winter break (week 7) is cold but good value, and the summer holiday is the most expensive and hottest time. Check your own municipality's calendar.
