Transcontinental (Europe & Asia), Turkey

Discover Turkey's Timeless Crossroads

Where two continents meet — the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, a Bosphorus cruise and Cappadocia's fairy chimneys.

About Turkey

For Pakistani travellers, Turkey is a comfortable and welcoming destination. As a Muslim-majority country, halal food is easy to find, mosques are everywhere and the historic mosques of Istanbul are sights in their own right. Domestic flights make it easy to combine Istanbul and Cappadocia in a single trip.

The most popular route is the classic combination of Istanbul and Cappadocia, covering imperial history, bazaars and surreal landscapes in one itinerary. If you have more time, you can add Pamukkale, Ephesus, the beaches of Antalya, or the historic city of Bursa.

SaffarGuru handles visa guidance, flights, hotels, internal transfers and local arrangements so you can enjoy the trip without the stress. Every package can be adjusted to your dates, budget and group size.
