Turkey for Families: Istanbul, Cappadocia and the Antalya Coast

Modéré

Moderate for families: about 2 to 3 hours on foot on most mornings, on paving, cobbles and some steps in Istanbul. The Pigeon Valley walk is about 4 km downhill on a dusty path, about 1.5 hours with stops. Derinkuyu has steep, low passages and narrow stairs over several levels below ground. The boat day is about 6 hours on the water. Every afternoon has a rest, and any parent or child can sit out a walk or a level with the guide nearby.

Fly into Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). Our driver meets the family in arrivals with child seats or boosters for the ages you booked, and the drive to the hotel in Sultanahmet, the old city between the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara, takes about an hour.

Soir

To join the walk and dinner, plan to land by about 2 pm; the meeting time comes with your final itinerary. After a rest, your See Sight Tours guide meets the families for a short briefing on the ten days, then walks the group into Sultanahmet Park, a few minutes away, where Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque face each other across a fountain and children can run on the grass after the flight. Your guide hands out a small challenge for the week: spot a cat in every place we stop, which is easy in Istanbul. The welcome dinner sits down at about 6 pm at a restaurant nearby, early enough for younger children.

Faune et météo : April, May, September and October are warm and easier on children, with fewer crowds; the sea at Antalya is cool in April and May, so the hotel pool takes over. June to August is school-holiday peak: hot on the coast, busy in Istanbul, and Cappadocia's mornings stay fresh. Balloon flights are cancelled on windy mornings in any month.

Questions

What does the price include?

Nine nights in hotels, including a cave hotel in Göreme and a beach hotel in Antalya, breakfast daily, five lunches, three dinners, both domestic flights, airport transfers, our own vehicle and driver, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, licensed local guides, and every visit in the day plan: two cisterns, Topkapı, a Turkish delight workshop, the Bosphorus boat, Derinkuyu, a pottery class, the Kemer boat day and Kurşunlu.

What is the minimum age, and is it right for my kids?

Children must be 7 or older. Most days have one main activity in the morning, lunch, and a free afternoon. The busier days are the Pigeon Valley walk, about 4 km downhill, Derinkuyu's low tunnels and a six-hour boat day. No day has more than about 2 hours of driving. For younger children, a private trip lets us shorten the days.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests, counting adults and children together, so it is usually three or four families. We never merge groups to fill a bus, so the cap of 12 holds on every departure.

Who leads the trip?

A See Sight Tours guide travels with the group from the first evening in Istanbul to the last morning in Antalya, on both flights and every day. Licensed local guides join us at Topkapı Palace and Derinkuyu. Our own vehicle and driver meet every flight.

Is the hot air balloon included?

No, it is optional, and we give you the price at booking so you can decide at home. Operators set a minimum age or height for children. Families who do not fly come with the guide to a viewpoint to watch the balloons rise at dawn. Nobody is sold the flight on the trip, and flights are cancelled on windy mornings.

I'm a single parent. Is there a single supplement?

A parent sharing a room with a child pays the normal per-person price for both, with no supplement. An adult who wants a room alone pays a supplement from CAD 715, shown before you book. If you travel alone, we can try to match you with another solo adult of the same gender to share a twin room at no supplement; if no match is found, the supplement applies. Solo adults join the same meals, visits and boat day as everyone else.

Do you stop at carpet or leather shops?

No. We never take the group to a carpet, leather or jewellery shop, and we earn no commission on anything you buy. The Spice Bazaar is a walk through a market, and the Turkish delight workshop and the pottery class are hands-on activities you have already paid for.

When is the best time to go?

April, May, September and October are the easiest months: warm, with fewer crowds; the sea is cool in spring, so the hotel pool helps. July and August fit school holidays but are hot on the coast, often above 35°C, so we start early and keep afternoons free. Cappadocia mornings are cool all season.

How does booking work?

Choose a departure and send a request to book. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. Tell us your children's ages and any dietary needs when you request, so we can arrange family rooms, child seats and meals.

Can we travel on our own dates?

Yes, as a private trip for your family only, on a date you choose, with your own guide, vehicle and boat. If you would rather travel independently, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels, flights and activities without a See Sight Tours guide.

Do we need a visa for Turkey?

Check the current rule for your passport on the Turkish foreign ministry or e-Visa site; US and Canadian citizens have been visa-free for short tourist stays since 2024 per most sources, and we confirm at booking. Passports should be valid for at least 6 months beyond travel, and every child needs their own passport.
