Here is what our travel agent recommended for our available 14 days. in Turkey in late May/early June. My concern is that we are visiting some places for only a few hours, then back on a bus to the next destination. Anyone have insight as to the viability of such an itinerary and input on whether the timing for each location is good/bad or needs some changes? I've never been there, but interested in your insights. Perhaps you have a recommendation on new places to visit instead of the ones recommended by our agent. Our agent for this is goreme.com.
Thanks,
Jason
