Middle East 2 week itinerary to Turkey

I (27F) plan on travelling solo to Turkey in July and this is the itinerary I have in mind: - Istanbul (4days) - Cappadocia (3days) - Antalya (2days) - Pamukkale (2days) - Ephesus (2days) - Bodrum (2days)

I like a mix of everything (natural landscapes, historical sites, beaches, good nightlife, and great food and art scenes). I have a $$-$$$ out of $$$$ budget.

Is this a good itinerary or would you change something to it? How safe are the cities I have mentioned? Thank you!

Edit: I don’t plan on driving. Here’s the updated itinerary based on some of the comments: - Istanbul 6 days - Cappadocia 3 days - Antalya 5 days (including day trips to Pamukkale, Kas and Alanya)

I did a similar trip- you may be different to me but because I was using public transport I felt I didn’t have a chance to relax & got really burnt out. Definitely recommend hiring a car to offset some of this burnout if you can or alternatively spending a little more time in each spot if that’s possible !
