Thanks for the info! We are planning a trip with our 4 & 7 year olds for late June / Early July for 2 weeks, would love any specific advice as to an intinerary. The kids love to be on the beach, Cappodocia sounds wonderful too, and I don’t want to hopa round too much – any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

My vote goes to Miniaturk because it is great fun for children. And you can take a great photes. Very recommended.

Thank you so much for these tips. We’re traveling to Turkey in March with our 4 and 5 year old children and your suggestions are terrific. I’m sure this will get them very excited about the trip.

My husband and I have been in Turkey now for two weeks with our 16 month old daughter. I should say our very active 16 month old. We have been loving it. People here just love children. She has never had her little cheek pinched this much and her had patted. Strangers take her picture, especially when she is in a backpack on my husband’s shoulders. It is Ramadan now so there is a lot of celebrations around the Blue Mosque with tons of music and people. She has been dancing with other kids on the little stages, running around the fountains, and enjoying the park near the palace. Yes, I agree that traffic is horrible, and some of the play grounds are absolute danger zones, but the wonderful people make up for all of it.

Nice post. I love Istanbul – such a magical city. The last time I was back was before kids, although I do want to take our children. I know they would love it as much as my husband and I do.

My husband and I traveled for a month in Turkey before we had kids, and it remains our favorite international trip of all time.

We had a few days in Cappadocia, some time in Antalya, Perge, and Aspendos, a week on a private gulet on the Turquoise coast, quick stops in Bodrum, Efes, and Pamukkale, and a week in Istanbul.

It was astonishing to us how much history is in Turkey (and the Roman ruins there are so much better than anywhere else!).

We fantasize all the time about returning with our kids. We’re only conflicted because the world is big and there’s so much we have yet to see.
