So, we have decided we are finally getting out of the rhythm we have found=d ourselves in with lots of short European trips. We have settled on the idea of backpacking our way around Turkey and I can not tell you how overdue this has been. This is our first real trip ‘travelling’ post pandemic so it was going to take a little more prep than recent trips.
Firstly, we needed to find our backpacks in our storage unit and remind ourselves what packing light looks like! As it be an 11 day trip, i think it will be a good training run and remind us both what works, what doesn’t and what we want to change with our travelling set-up.
So what’s the plan? Well, here is our itinerary:
Location | Activity | |
Day 1 - Wednesday 7th Sept | London - Istanbul | Travel Day |
Day 2 - Thursday 8th Sept | Istanbul | Cross Continents and sight seeing |
Day 3 - Friday 9th Sept | Istanbul | Explore some more |
Day 4 - Saturday 10th Sept | Cappadocia | Travel day |
Day 5 - Sunday 11th Sept | Cappadocia | Hot air Balloon, Fairy Chimneys and the Underground Cities |

Day 7 - Tuesday 13th Sept | Ephesus - Bodrum | Travel & Pool day |
