As I am packing for the Best of Turkey, I was wondering what were some good laundry options if any throughout the trip. Any insights would be helpful.

It’s been a while since we did this tour but as I recall those who wanted laundry done had the opportunity for that in Antalya.

CWsocial is on that tour as we speak, and has given a really comprehensive view of both that tour and the Best of Istanbul tour and has spoken comprehensively about how she has handled laundry in her current thread

On my tour the hotel in Capadoccia offered laundry service and air-dried it on the roof. One tour member was amused to see her lacy red underwear wafting in the breeze. We only knew about it because she told us.

I just returned yesterday from the Best of Turkey tour. We had two full- service options: at the Upper Greek House in Mustafapaşa (in Cappadocia, with line dry as described by Chani) and in Antalya. Each was 200 Turkish Lira, payable in cash for a generously sized bag of laundry.
The drying line at the Upper Greek House was also available for your own sink washing. It gets windy up there, so I recommend bringing small laundry clips to keep your laundry from fluttering down into the next door ruins.
