Whether it's walking the ancient streets of Istanbul or finding peace in the serene Cappadocia, solo travel for women to Turkiye presents opportunities for both thrill and reflection. Here, you can navigate the bustling bazaars, enjoy quiet moments by the Bosphorus, and interact with locals who are eager to share their stories.
Must-Visit Destinations in Turkiye
- Istanbul: The city that bridges continents is more than its iconic mosques and palaces. Lose yourself in the myriad of colours and scents in the Grand Bazaar or savour Turkish delights at a local café. Each district, from Beyoğlu to Sultanahmet, offers a different vibe, waiting to be explored.
- Cappadocia: Famous for its surreal landscape and hot air balloon rides, Cappadocia invites introspection. Discover the underground cities or take a hike through Ihlara Valley, where history entwines with nature.
- Antalya: With its Mediterranean beaches and ancient ruins, this coastal city blends relaxation with exploration. The Kaleiçi (Old Town) is a charming maze of narrow streets filled with historical houses.
- Pamukkale: Known for its thermal waters flowing down white travertine terraces, this natural wonder is a site for both relaxation and awe-struck wonder.
Cultural Experiences Not To Be Missed
Turkiye's cultural richness is best experienced directly. Attend a Sema ceremony to witness the spiritual whirling dance of the Dervishes. Participate in a traditional hammam and emerge rejuvenated. Engage in a cooking class to master making Meze or other Turkish dishes, offering you a delicious memento of your travels.
Practical Tips for Solo Women Travelling in Turkiye
- Plan Ahead: While spontaneity holds its allure, having a rough itinerary can help navigate the cities more effectively and make room for unplanned adventures.
- Stay Connected: Access to a reliable internet connection via local SIM cards or pocket Wi-Fi ensures you can stay in touch with loved ones and access maps and travel apps.
- Respect Local Customs: Wearing modest clothing, especially when visiting religious sites, shows respect for local traditions and fosters positive interactions.
- Embrace Public Transport: Efficient and economical, using local buses and trams offers a chance to experience everyday life in Turkiye.
Culinary Delights to Savour
No tour of Turkiye is complete without indulging in its culinary treasures. Start your day with a vibrant Turkish breakfast, a feast of olives, cheeses, and fresh bread accompanied by hot tea. Let the aroma of kebabs and pide draw you into family-run eateries. And be sure to end a meal with a classic baklava or a cup of Turkish coffee, its grounds revealing fortunes for those daring enough to read them.
With every corner of Turkiye offering its own tapestry of stories, sights, and tastes, solo vacations in this enchanting land promise to be more than just a journey. They are a step towards self-discovery and adventure, uncovering the true essence of this charismatic country.

What do the experts say?
Turkey is a vast country and home to many diverse communities. Therefore, there are many local traditions that showcase their distinct origins. Among many, one fascinating event in Turkey that visitors should witness is the ceremony of Whirling Dervishes in Cappadocia.
Few places layer ancient civilizations quite like Turkey. From the ruins of Ephesus, the legendary city of Troy, and the underground cities of Cappadocia, to the Byzantine and Ottoman grandeur of Istanbul - it's a living museum. Walking through the Hagia Sophia or along the ancient walls of Constantinople is like stepping into a history book.
Turkish cuisine is seriously underrated globally. From a simple simit on the street to a full meze spread and a sizzling kebab, every meal is an experience. And of course, Turkish tea and baklava are daily rituals you don’t want to miss.

ExcellentBased on 5,147 ReviewsAlice was most helpful - full of insider suggestions.
She was a good listener and able to provide tours, routes and guides tailored to our interests. She made our February trip to New Zealand entirely wonderful.
MarleneWe did a 19 day NZ Rail and Cruise Discovery Tour and then a 12 day Australian tour put together by out specialized travel operator Joanne Palanuik.
New Zealand- ABT Tours ran the actual tour and did a fabulous job. The Guide Sharon was great and worked very hard coordinating 32 people. Mostly all Australians and we has so much fun with them! Our driver Chris (a retired policeman) was especially great- he knew so many interesting things about NZ and shared them while driving throughout the trip. We loved him! So many highlights...overnight on a ship in the Milford Sound...cable car to a nature reserve then a Gold Class train ride back...Queenstown adventures..excellent meals along the way...all drivers and transfers were excellent too.
Oceana Tours in Melbourne were great as well. A morning city tour and afternoon tour were wonderful. Then the next day to Philips Island for the Penguin moonlit march was sooo special. And the Ocean road cruise too!! Sydney was gorgeous...Bondi Beach...Barrier Reef...Ayers Rock (Uluru)
Both Australians and New Zealanders were so helpful and friendly...
In short I wish I could do it all over again..highly recommend. Every day was a new adventure :)

customerKatie was a dream to work with. We made many changes to the standard itinerary to customize our trip and she never missed a beat. Her responsiveness and humor made working together a joy and her most common response to our very packed activities was, “can I help with that?” Hotels, car rental all went smoothly and were very much to our liking. The super long flights were laid out to minimize travel time and maximize comfort. Katie and GoWay made this dream trip happen. FayeIts all about the journey, isn't it? And our journey through Kenya, Africa was amazing and we have Bijal Kana of Goway Travel to thank for it.
From the start when we first discussed a true Safari adventure, Bijal was being helpful. Her suggestions were helpful in where to go and how we could save a few dollars when possible. Never trying to be cheap but simply, cost conscious. This was the beginning of what will continue as a forever working relationship in travel. Bijal gained our confidence and trust. And that is a rare commodity these days.
Then too there was the staff from Goway and Sense of Africa like Ruth, Wilson and Francis who allowed us to see the non tourist side of Nairobi and became fast friends. The wonderful selections made by Bijal as to where we would stay and all the Serena locations were marvelous. And at the last minute, when a bridge got washed out and we could not get to the last lodge camp, Bijal responded to our whatsapp call immediately and we were placed in the Sorova lodge. True not the same, but in the middle of a game area, who complains? It was great and we had so much fun.
The tour selection took us through parks, reserves and conservancy locales. We saw the big 5 and much more. Lions fighting, Hyenas making a chase and ultimate dinner selection, A leopard resting on tree branches, A cheetah stalking and then at rest. Hyena pups and Honbeast babes being birthed. Hippopotamus in the water, Zebra grazing, Elephants crossing rivers en mass. You'd think we hit the National Geographic channel.
Great job Bijal. Good deal Goway.customerBram L. BottfeldGoway Travel helped us set up a Venice to Athens cruise on Viking and it was fantastic! Our agent (Kimberly) was responsive to all our questions and helpful navigating all the options for excursions, etc. She also gave us a cruise credit we could use while on the ship to help pay for extras. Overall great experience would use Goway again.StanleyFor the past four years, we have travelled to Perth, Australia to visit family. As part of our travels to Perth, we have had stays in Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland. This year, as part of our trip, we are staying in Melbourne and Adelaide. Each year, we have contacted Joanne at Goway to arrange our trip. She has booked all our flights and accommodations. She has been a wonderful source of travel locations within Australia and New Zealand. Joanne has always been very helpful. She checks on the best flights, give us ideas on airplane seat selection and locates great places to stay. She also provides ideas about what we might want to see or do at each location. Every time we contact her she is willing to provide information and answers any questions we may have. She listens to our requests, explains reasons for her suggestions, and answers any concerns we have with patience and understanding. We are so fortunate to have such a helpful, friendly individual as our travel advisor!Bob and SuePaul at GoWay made this first GoWay trip a breeze from start to finish! He was very quick to respond and created an incredible itinerary that my clients absolutely loved. From the incredible hotel location to the private tours led by knowledgeable tour guides who show that they love their jobs, it couldn't have gone better. Can't wait to Yesenia RodriguezOnce again, Goway Travel has provided us with an amazing travel experience, and the customized itinerary prepared by Joanne Palanuik was second to none. She was the main reason that Australia is a "trip of a lifetime" for us. Her attention to detail and recognizing what would make this a special trip for us is noteworthy and much appreciated.WallyI would recommend GoWay for travel anytime. I had a private tour of India built for me, after I was invited to my friend's wedding. I travelled around northern India with my driver for 10 days. I had a new guide most every day, for the trip, as we went from location to location. Absolutely everything was amazing!! I honestly can't say there was a negative moment in any of it. I felt 100% safe travelling alone with GoWay's experts. My lodgings were excellent and someone was always available for support, if need be. This was one of the best experiences of my life!!! Thank you so much GoWay!!Trudy BuelowOur trip was great and your partners in Egypt met and exceeded our expectations.
Having the guides and drivers was a new experience for us but absolutely invaluable
We would recommend Goway to anyone.joe levack
