What a turkey!

We didn't go out of the country last year and my wonderful wife is desperate to get away -- so desperate, that she's even willing to go to Turkey for goodness sake! The itinerary so far:

• April 3:  Leave Dulles on Turkish Airlines 0008 at 23:25 for the 10-hour flight to Istanbul
• April 4:  Arrive Istanbul at 16:40.  collect baggage and head into town, checking in at Hotel Barceló-Saray at, what, 18:00?
• April 5-7:  Kick around the Sultanahmet district, "the heart of historic Old Istanbul" -- Grand Bazaar, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, etc.
• April 8:  Fly to Ismir, arrive at Markiz Konaklari in Şirince at 12:30(?).  Explore Şirince.
• April 9:  Vist Tire for it's weekly market -- "the biggest in Turkey" -- and/or taxi into Selçuk. Return to Markiz Konaklari.
• April 10:  Tour Ephesus. Return to Markiz Konaklari.
• April 11:  Kick around Şirince and/or Selçuk.  Board bus at 16:00 for trip to Pamukkale, arriving at Melrose Hotel at 20:30(?).
• April 12:  Tour Pamukkale and Hieropolis.  Return to Melrose Hotel.
• April 13:  Bus to Konya (Pasapark Hotel).
• April 14:  Tour Konya.  Bus to Cappadocia (Esbelli Evi).
• April 15:  Hot air balloon ride and tour of Cappadocia.  Return to Esbelli Evi.
• April 16:  More Cappadocia touring, including hike through Rose Valley.  Board plane for flight to Istanbul at 20:00.  Transfer to Akin Suites on the Asian side of the Bosphorus.
• April 17-19:  Chill out.  Visit some of the less touristy neighborhoods (at least Kadiköy and Beşiktaş), ride the ferry a few times, maybe take a cruise on the Bosporus.
• April 20:  Leave Ataturk Airport on Turkish Airlines 0007 at 13:10 for flight home.

Now that I look at it again, I wonder if it's a terrible allocation of time: Days and days in and around Ephesus, and maybe less time in Istanbul than we should have.  I guess we'll find out.
