Mornings of 2 to 3 hours on foot, mostly on level paving, cobbles and a few stairs, with the afternoons free on six of the ten days. Kaymakli Underground City has low passages and steep steps and can be skipped. The valley walks are short and optional, with the vehicle waiting at a viewpoint. The longest drive in a day is about 1.75 hours, in short legs; two domestic flights of about an hour do the long crossings.

Après-midi

Fly into Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), ideally by early afternoon. Your See Sight Tours guide or our driver meets the family in arrivals, and the air-conditioned vehicle has child seats or boosters ready for the ages you booked. The drive into Sultanahmet, the old city between the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara, takes about an hour. Check in to the hotel for three nights and rest after the flight. In the late afternoon the group meets for a short walk into Sultanahmet Park, a few minutes from the hotel, where the domes of Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque face each other across a fountain and children can run on the grass.

Soir

The welcome dinner sits down at about 6 pm, nearby, with a short briefing on the ten days, so the youngest guests are in bed on time.

Faune et météo : Spring and autumn bring mild days in Istanbul and Cappadocia, roughly 15 to 25°C, with cold early mornings in Cappadocia, which sits at about 1,000 to 1,300 m. Antalya is warmer, about 22 to 30°C; the sea is cool for swimming until late May and warm in September and October. Balloon flights depend on the wind and are cancelled on some mornings, which is why we keep a spare morning.

Questions

What does the price include?

Nine nights in hotels with family or connecting rooms requested, three of them in a Cappadocia cave hotel, 9 breakfasts, 4 lunches and 4 dinners, both domestic flights, airport transfers at both ends, our own vehicle and driver, a See Sight Tours guide throughout, the balloon flight, two boats, the marbling and pottery lessons, and every entry in the day plan.

What age do children need to be?

Six and up. The days are planned so that a 6 to 12-year-old and a grandparent in their seventies enjoy the same mornings. Balloon operators set their own minimum age and height, so a child below the limit watches the launch from a viewpoint with the guide and a family member, and we tell you the rule when you book.

Is there a price for children?

Children are priced on request. Many entries are free or reduced for children, and the balloon has its own child fare, so we quote a child price for your family's ages when you ask to book. The published price is per person sharing a room, for adults.

Can grandparents manage the walking?

Yes, if they walk comfortably for 2 to 3 hours on paving with some stairs. Each day has one main outing in the morning and six afternoons are free. The steep parts, Uçhisar Castle, Kaymaklı's lower levels and the top rows at Aspendos, all have a place to sit and wait, and the vehicle is never far away.

Is the balloon flight really included, and what if it is cancelled?

Yes, the sunrise flight is in the price. Turkish civil aviation decides each morning whether balloons may fly, so day 6 is a spare morning. If neither morning flies, the balloon operator's own rule applies, and we tell you that rule when you book. Anyone who would rather not fly watches the launch from a viewpoint with the guide.

How big is the group, and will we be with other families?

Between 7 and 12 guests, counting children, so you share the trip with one or two other families or couples at most. A family of seven or more can fill a departure on its own, or book the private version on a date you choose.

How long are the travel days?

Short. Two domestic flights of about an hour do the long crossings, and no drive in a day is longer than about 1.75 hours, in short legs. If no direct Kayseri or Nevşehir to Antalya flight runs on your dates, day 7 connects in Istanbul, about 3 hours longer; or add a fourth Cappadocia night and fly the next day, priced on request.

I am a grandparent travelling with one grandchild. What is the single supplement?

If you share a room with your grandchild, there is no supplement: you pay two shares. A traveller who wants a room alone pays a supplement from CAD 730, shown before you book. We never pair strangers in a room.

When is the best time to go with children?

April to June and September to October. Easter breaks and late June suit school calendars, Istanbul and Cappadocia are mild, and Antalya is warm without the summer heat. The sea is cool until late May, so the hotel pool does the work in spring. July and August are very hot; ask about a private trip with earlier starts.

Do we need visas for Turkey?

Many passports need a Turkish e-Visa, bought online before you fly, and the rules change from time to time. Check for every traveller, children included, when you book; we send the current official link and the passport details we need for the domestic flights.

How does booking work?

Choose a start date 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 the ages of the children and any dietary needs when you request, so we can hold family rooms and plan the lunches.

Can our family travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. The private version is your family only, on a date you choose, with your own guide, vehicle and driver, from CAD 7,730 per person sharing. If you would rather travel on your own without a guide, ask from the dates section and we will quote the same flights, hotels and transfers.
