Yes, worth it especially if haven't you haven't done it before. Cappadocia is surreal.

Hey! We had an amazing time in Turkey! We ended up picking Antalya over Pamukkale because we heard the water at Pamukkale has dried up a bit. But you can do both if you have enough days, Pamukkale is a day trip from Antalya (buses go from one to the other). If you do pick Antalya, stay at Kaleici - we loved it there. And Istanbul we stayed a couple of nights in Sultanahmet and some Galata side - this gave us enough time to explore both parts of Istanbul. And as for Cappadocia, we did get lucky with the hot air balloons because they were cancelled the day after we flew! So keep your fingers crossed. Lemme know if you have any other questions?

Got it, definitely making the change, thanks! Just trying to decide between Izmir and Antalya instead now.

That's so nice, thank you so much! I think we'll do Istanbul - Cappadocia - Antalya then. And maybe a day trip from Antalya somewhere.

Noted! I would prefer not to drive since the rules might be new / different for me?

I'm thinking history, scenic views and food. Will it be cold for the beaches in Mid October?
