Istanbul on both sides of the water, Cappadocia for the mornings, then the Aegean coast at walking pace.
This is an outline. Haydi writes the full version, with hotels, days, trains and the working, when you ask for it.

Flights are cancelled on wind more often than people expect. Booking the first morning in Cappadocia leaves a second one spare, and the money comes back if the first one flies.
The big sites are within walking distance of each other, so the mornings are short and the afternoons are yours.
Change sides, change city. Ferries, meyhane dinners and the modern galleries.
Three nights buys two balloon mornings and a valley walk that is not rushed.
Ephesus early, then swimming. The trip ends at walking pace on purpose.
