Honestly did not expect Turkey to be this good for a family with young kids but here we are, already recommending it to three other families back home. The waterfalls at Duden were the surprise favourite for our seven year old, she wanted to go back the next day. Dolmabahce felt like walking through a movie set, so much gold and detail everywhere. Bosphorus cruise at sunset with the two continents visible from the boat was worth every bit of the trip.
Took my in-laws along on this one since they had never been to Turkey and it turned out to be a hit with all three generations. Dolmabahce Palace impressed my father-in-law more than anything else on the trip, he kept comparing it to Mysore Palace the entire time. Kids loved the waterfalls, adults loved the history, everyone went home happy.
Coastal Antalya and historic Istanbul make an odd but effective combo for families.
Antalya to Istanbul in four nights covers so much ground, genuinely impressed.
The Blue Mosque was a highlight, though the Bosphorus cruise felt rushed given how much there was to take in.
The Bosphorus cruise at sunset with both continents visible from the boat was worth the whole trip. Our daughter waved at every passing ferry. Antalya's beaches and then Istanbul's history, an odd combo that just works for families.
June offers ideal early summer weather, providing pleasant temperatures for exploration while avoiding the peak heat of later summer months.
