Hi this thread was very informative.

we too were planning for a trip to Cappadocia and were wondering is there an age limit for children to take the Hot Air Balloon safari? i have 2 kids aged 3yrs and 7 yrs.

Turkey is a mountain country, so travel by train and coach is slow ... i bought the package from a local tour operator in istanbul (sultan Ahmet area). All tour operators give u the same package i.e. the hotel accomo is same ... but the ones on the main street are twice expensive compared to the ones in side streets. We took a luxury coach from istanbul at night and arrived early morning in capadokia... then took coach to pammukale (6hrs)... It was comfortable and pleasant ... you can research about turkey on the internet. You dont need a translator... the tour operator will give u the itinerary for your trip and when u arrive at hotel they tour guide will collect you and they speak good english. When u are in capadokia PLEASE take the Hot air Baloon Safari... its a great experience to see the chimneys from above ... leave the kids in the hotel because its expensive. Cheers

Wow.. Thank you everyone. Yes, actually my plan is to travel and explore Istanbul by ourself and get a local tour for trip to Cappadocia and Pamukkale. Or is it a good idea to travel to Cappadocia and Pamukkale without tour guide as well?? We will be travel to Turkey on end of September. I believe the weather is nice on that month.

Lamea has given you excellent advise. We had a lovely trip 2 years back. All major attractions are walking distance in Sultan Ahmet. We spent 3 days in Istanbul, then took a tour from one of the local tour operators and spent 12 days exploring Cappadokia, Pammukale, Kusa desi, Troy etc. It was great ... we learnt a lot about history, did a lot of trekking, me, my wife & 3 kids loved the tour. The 12 days trip costed me 1000 euros and about 500 in istanbul. Call me if u need more info ... Cheers Zak (6646-8056)

No need for a travel agent for tours. Just book the cheapest flight and go directly to Sultanamet in Istanbul. All the sights are conveniently located in that area and there are dozens of hotels that you can chose there and then. We just used the map and walked everywhere!!! Yeh we didnt need to waste money on taxis or othe transport. Let me warn you that mid June and Jult gets very hot and humid but the monuments are certainly worth it.

We even walked to the Bosporous from our hotel (Hotel Ambassador) and bought the ticket there and then, for the boat ride so no need to spend extra by buying the ticket from a tour operator.

Istanbul is beautiful and the kids and i loved it. Cant wait to go back.
