14 Days Istanbul, Bursa & Trabzon Tour Package

The Most Complete of the Three-City Packages

The 14 Days Istanbul, Bursa & Trabzon Tour Package is the longest version of Haqqi Tours' route through these three regions, built for groups with a full two weeks who want to cover more ground than the twelve or thirteen-day options allow. Alongside the core sites shared with the shorter packages, it adds an Asian-side day in Istanbul and a highland excursion to Ayder beyond Trabzon, giving the itinerary a wider spread across each city's surroundings rather than only its centre. The extra time is distributed across all three destinations rather than concentrated in one, keeping the route balanced from start to finish.

Istanbul on Both Sides of the Bosphorus

Istanbul opens the fourteen days with the familiar sites around Sultanahmet, Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar, followed by a Bosphorus cruise and a separate day dedicated to the Asian side of the city. Camlica Hill offers a wide view back across the strait, while Kadıköy's streets and market give a different, less touristic side of Istanbul than the historic peninsula. The Spice Bazaar is also worked into this stretch, giving Istanbul a fuller share of the fourteen days than it receives in the shorter packages, where the Asian side is often left out.

Bursa Without Rushing Between Sites

Bursa's share of the fourteen-day package covers the same landmarks as the other versions, the Uludağ cable car, the Green Tomb, the Grand Mosque and Cumalıkızık village, but with a thermal baths day added so the city is not compressed into a single busy itinerary. This gives Bursa a similar rhythm to Istanbul and Trabzon within the package rather than functioning only as a short stop between the other two. The covered silk market rounds out the Bursa days, offering time for browsing rather than a fixed shopping stop. Together these extra hours mean Bursa is treated as a full destination in its own right rather than a brief stop between Istanbul and Trabzon.

Trabzon and the Ayder Plateau

Trabzon's stretch keeps the Sumela Monastery and Uzungöl lake excursion found in the other packages but extends further inland to the Ayder plateau, a highland area known for its scenery and cooler air compared with the coast. The city days cover the former Hagia Sophia church and Boztepe hill as usual, while Ayder gives the fourteen-day package a stop the shorter versions do not include. This addition reflects the extra time available rather than a change in the core Trabzon route, and it closes out the package's furthest point from Istanbul.

Who Books the Full Fourteen Days

This is generally chosen by larger family groups or multi-generation parties who have set aside a full two weeks and want every part of the three-city route covered without leaving anything out. It also suits travellers who specifically want the Ayder plateau or Istanbul's Asian side included, since these additions are unique to the fourteen-day version among Haqqi Tours' Istanbul, Bursa and Trabzon packages. Groups who prefer a slower overall pace, with fewer sightseeing stops per day than the standard route, tend to find this length more comfortable than the shorter options.

Coordinating Transfers Across Fourteen Days

With more days and an additional excursion in each city, the transfer schedule is planned carefully by Haqqi Tours to avoid long travel days stacking up. A private vehicle and driver move the group between Istanbul, Bursa and Trabzon, and between Trabzon and Ayder plateau, with each stage confirmed ahead of the trip. The operations desk remains reachable by WhatsApp throughout, adjusting hotel check-in and pickup times where needed so the additional stops do not disrupt the rest of the schedule. Luggage moves with the group at every stage, so nothing needs to be repacked or rerouted separately between the four parts of the route.

Preparing for the Longer Route

Because the fourteen days move between a major city, a mountain town, a coastal city and a highland plateau, layers are worth packing regardless of season, since Ayder and Uludağ are noticeably cooler than Istanbul. Comfortable shoes suit the cobbled Sultanahmet streets as much as the Ayder plateau paths, and swimwear is useful for the Bursa thermal baths day. The fourteen-day route visits religious and museum sites in all three cities, so modest clothing should be kept accessible throughout rather than packed away for a single day. A small daypack kept separate from the main luggage is worth having for the excursion days, since Sumela, Uzungöl and Ayder all involve time spent outdoors on foot.

Booking the Fourteen-Day Package

Booking this fourteen-day route means receiving a written breakdown of all four regions, hotels included, before any payment is requested, the same standard Haqqi Tours applies whatever length of package is chosen. Given the extra stops at Camlica Hill, Ayder plateau and Bursa's thermal baths, it is worth confirming these specifically when booking, since availability for the additional excursions is checked directly with the desk rather than assumed. Contact stays open by WhatsApp in Arabic or English throughout the process, from the first enquiry to the final day of the trip.
