Türkiye: Entry Requirements and Essential Tips

August 26, 2024

Read Time: 5.9 min

Essential Passport and Visa Requirements for Traveling to Türkiye

T ürkiye, a stunning country that bridges Europe and Asia, is a dream destination for travelers. From its rich historical sites and vibrant culture to its breathtaking landscapes, Türkiye offers something for everyone. However, before you embark on your journey, it’s crucial to understand the entry requirements to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip. In this comprehensive guide, we will cover everything you need to know about traveling to Türkiye, including passport and visa requirements, tips for a seamless entry, and some useful travel advice.

Passport Requirements for Travel to Türkiye

When planning a trip to Türkiye, one of the first things you need to check is your passport. According to the Turkish government’s regulations, your passport must meet specific criteria to allow you entry into the country. These requirements are crucial to avoid any last-minute hiccups at the airport.

• 1. Validity of Your Passport

Your passport must be valid for at least 150 days from the date of your arrival in Türkiye. This requirement is non-negotiable, and failing to comply could result in being denied entry.

• 2. Blank Pages for Stamps

Ensure that your passport has at least one full blank page available for entry and exit stamps. This might seem like a minor detail, but it’s essential for a smooth immigration process.

• 3. Additional Requirements for Residents

If you are a resident in Türkiye, your passport must be valid for six months from the date of your arrival. This extended validity period is mandatory for residents compared to tourists.

Visa Requirements for Türkiye

Understanding the visa requirements is just as important as having the right passport. Depending on your nationality and the purpose of your visit, you may or may not need a visa to enter Türkiye.

• 1. Visa-Free Entry

For tourists and business travelers from many countries, including the UK, a visa is not required for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This visa exemption is perfect for short visits, whether you’re planning to explore the historical sites of Istanbul, relax on the beaches of Antalya, or conduct business in Ankara.

• 2. Extended Stay and Residency Permits

If you plan to stay in Türkiye for more than 90 days, you’ll need to apply for a longer-stay visa or a residence permit before your initial 90-day period ends. This is especially important for those who wish to work, study, or retire in Türkiye.

• 3. Special Considerations for British Nationals

For British nationals holding different types of British nationality, such as British National (Overseas), it’s essential to check the specific visa requirements with the Turkish Embassy or Consulate General before traveling. The rules can vary depending on your specific situation.

Important Tips for a Smooth Entry into Türkiye

To ensure that your trip to Türkiye goes off without a hitch, here are some additional tips to keep in mind:

• 1. Double-Check Your Passport

Before you travel, double-check that your passport meets all the necessary requirements. Ensure it has the required validity and enough blank pages. If your passport is close to expiring or lacks blank pages, consider renewing it before your trip.

• 2. Know the Land Border Entry Rules

If you plan to enter Türkiye through a land border, make sure your passport receives a dated entry stamp. This stamp is crucial for documenting your arrival and ensuring a smooth exit from the country.

• 3. Understand the Local Customs

Familiarizing yourself with Türkiye’s local customs and traditions can enhance your travel experience. For example, knowing a few basic Turkish phrases, dressing modestly when visiting religious sites, and understanding tipping etiquette can go a long way in making your trip more enjoyable.

Exploring Türkiye: Must-Visit Destinations and Experiences

Now that you’re well-versed in the entry requirements, let’s dive into some of the must-visit destinations and experiences that await you in Türkiye.

• Istanbul: A Blend of History and Modernity

Istanbul , the largest city in Türkiye, is a unique destination where East meets West. With its iconic landmarks like the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace, Istanbul offers a rich historical experience. Don’t miss the bustling Grand Bazaar and a cruise along the Bosphorus for breathtaking views of the city’s skyline.

• Cappadocia: A Surreal Landscape

Cappadocia , known for its otherworldly landscapes and hot air balloon rides, is a must-visit for any traveler to Türkiye. The region’s unique rock formations, cave dwellings, and underground cities make it a fascinating destination for history buffs and adventure seekers alike.

• Antalya: The Turquoise Coast

Antalya , located on Türkiye’s southwestern coast, is famous for its stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters. It’s the perfect place to relax, soak up the sun, and explore ancient ruins like those at Perge and Aspendos. The old town of Kaleiçi, with its narrow streets and Ottoman-era houses, is a charming area to wander through.

• Pamukkale: The Cotton Castle

Pamukkale , meaning “Cotton Castle” in Turkish, is a natural wonder of white travertine terraces and thermal waters. This UNESCO World Heritage site is not only a sight to behold but also a place to experience the healing properties of its mineral-rich waters.

• Ephesus: Ancient Ruins and Archaeological Marvels

Ephesus , one of the most well-preserved ancient cities in the Mediterranean, is a must-visit for history enthusiasts. The city’s impressive ruins, including the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre, offer a glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Roman civilization.

Practical Information for Travelers

Beyond entry requirements and top destinations, there are a few more practical aspects to consider when planning your trip to Türkiye.

• 1. Currency and Payments

The official currency in Türkiye is the Turkish Lira (TRY). While credit cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and shops, it’s advisable to carry some cash, especially when traveling to smaller towns or markets.

• 2. Language

The official language of Türkiye is Turkish. While English is commonly spoken in tourist areas, learning a few basic phrases in Turkish can enhance your travel experience and help you connect with locals.

• 3. Transportation

Türkiye has a well-developed transportation network, including buses, trains, and domestic flights. For long-distance travel, consider flying between major cities, while buses and trains are excellent options for regional travel.

• 4. Safety and Health

Türkiye is generally a safe destination for travelers, but it’s always wise to stay informed about the latest travel advisories. Make sure to have travel insurance that covers health emergencies, as healthcare in Türkiye is of high quality but can be expensive without insurance.

• Prepare for an Unforgettable Journey

Türkiye is a country that offers a wealth of experiences, from its historical landmarks and cultural heritage to its stunning natural landscapes. By ensuring your passport and visa are in order and following the tips provided in this guide, you can look forward to a seamless and unforgettable journey.

Whether you’re exploring the vibrant streets of Istanbul, marveling at the ancient ruins of Ephesus, or relaxing on the beaches of Antalya, Türkiye is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Tui cancels Turkey holidays until 12 July at the earliest

‘government has refused to be transparent about the data requirements for green, amber and red destinations’ – andrew flintham, tui, article bookmarked.

As the travel industry continued to rage against the government’s implementation of the “traffic light” scheme, Britain’s biggest holiday company has cancelled tens of thousands of early summer trips to Turkey.

The popular Mediterranean destination is one of 50 countries on the “ red list ” from which arrivals to the UK must go into hotel quarantine.

While there is a possibility Turkey may be moved from the highest risk category at the time of the next review, due on 24 June, Tui is telling anyone booked to travel there before 12 July that their holiday will not be going ahead.

A spokesperson for the company said: “Due to ongoing uncertainty, we’re unfortunately cancelling all holidays to Turkey up to and including 11 July. We’re in the process of updating customers and our web.”

Customers are now entitled to a full refund within two weeks – though they can alternatively choose a different and/or later holiday.

Tui has cancelled all holidays to Cyprus, Croatia, Italy and Spain until 20 June, and to Bulgaria, Morocco and Tunisia until 27 June.

Its rival, Jet2 , has suspended all international departures until 1 July – with Turkish holidays cancelled until 22 July.

When international leisure travel was legalised on 17 May, initially Portugal, Gibraltar and Iceland were the only accessible European nations on the quarantine-free “ green list ”.

The travel industry assumed that at the first review, on 3 June, the range of options would be expanded. But instead Portugal was moved to the “ amber list ,” from which 10 days of self-isolation is required.

At the time, Tui and its rivals expressed dismay. Andrew Flintham, managing director for Tui UK, called it “another step back for our industry”.

“Despite multiple requests, the government has refused to be transparent about the data requirements for green, amber and red destinations,” he said.

Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2, said: “We simply cannot understand why more destinations across Europe, the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands are not allowed to open to UK holidaymakers.

“We know international travel can restart safely, so we urge the government to urgently reconsider its approach and work with the industry to help us achieve that.”

The health secretary, Matt Hancock , told Parliament on Monday that decisions were taken on the advice of the Joint Biosecurity Centre.

Learn actions you can take to stay healthy and safe on your trip. Vaccines cannot protect you from many diseases in Turkey, so your behaviors are important.

Eat and drink safely

Food and water standards around the world vary based on the destination. Standards may also differ within a country and risk may change depending on activity type (e.g., hiking versus business trip). You can learn more about safe food and drink choices when traveling by accessing the resources below.

• Choose Safe Food and Drinks When Traveling
• Water Treatment Options When Hiking, Camping or Traveling
• Global Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
• Avoid Contaminated Water During Travel

You can also visit the Department of State Country Information Pages for additional information about food and water safety.

Prevent bug bites

Bugs (like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas) can spread a number of diseases in Turkey. Many of these diseases cannot be prevented with a vaccine or medicine. You can reduce your risk by taking steps to prevent bug bites.

What can I do to prevent bug bites?

• Cover exposed skin by wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and hats.
• Use an appropriate insect repellent (see below).
• Use permethrin-treated clothing and gear (such as boots, pants, socks, and tents). Do not use permethrin directly on skin.
• Stay and sleep in air-conditioned or screened rooms.
• Use a bed net if the area where you are sleeping is exposed to the outdoors.

What type of insect repellent should I use?

• FOR PROTECTION AGAINST TICKS AND MOSQUITOES: Use a repellent that contains 20% or more DEET for protection that lasts up to several hours.
• Picaridin (also known as KBR 3023, Bayrepel, and icaridin)
• Oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE) or para-menthane-diol (PMD)
• 2-undecanone
• Always use insect repellent as directed.

What should I do if I am bitten by bugs?

• Avoid scratching bug bites, and apply hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion to reduce the itching.
• Check your entire body for ticks after outdoor activity. Be sure to remove ticks properly.

What can I do to avoid bed bugs?

Although bed bugs do not carry disease, they are an annoyance. See our information page about avoiding bug bites for some easy tips to avoid them. For more information on bed bugs, see Bed Bugs .

For more detailed information on avoiding bug bites, see Avoid Bug Bites .

Stay safe outdoors

If your travel plans in Turkey include outdoor activities, take these steps to stay safe and healthy during your trip.

• Stay alert to changing weather conditions and adjust your plans if conditions become unsafe.
• Prepare for activities by wearing the right clothes and packing protective items, such as bug spray, sunscreen, and a basic first aid kit.
• Consider learning basic first aid and CPR before travel. Bring a travel health kit with items appropriate for your activities.
• If you are outside for many hours in heat, eat salty snacks and drink water to stay hydrated and replace salt lost through sweating.
• Protect yourself from UV radiation : use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, wear protective clothing, and seek shade during the hottest time of day (10 a.m.–4 p.m.).
• Be especially careful during summer months and at high elevation. Because sunlight reflects off snow, sand, and water, sun exposure may be increased during activities like skiing, swimming, and sailing.
• Very cold temperatures can be dangerous. Dress in layers and cover heads, hands, and feet properly if you are visiting a cold location.

Stay safe around water

• Swim only in designated swimming areas. Obey lifeguards and warning flags on beaches.
• Practice safe boating—follow all boating safety laws, do not drink alcohol if driving a boat, and always wear a life jacket.
• Do not dive into shallow water.
• Do not swim in freshwater in developing areas or where sanitation is poor.
• Avoid swallowing water when swimming. Untreated water can carry germs that make you sick.
• To prevent infections, wear shoes on beaches where there may be animal waste.

Keep away from animals

Most animals avoid people, but they may attack if they feel threatened, are protecting their young or territory, or if they are injured or ill. Animal bites and scratches can lead to serious diseases such as rabies.

Follow these tips to protect yourself:

• Do not touch or feed any animals you do not know.
• Do not allow animals to lick open wounds, and do not get animal saliva in your eyes or mouth.
• Avoid rodents and their urine and feces.
• Traveling pets should be supervised closely and not allowed to come in contact with local animals.
• If you wake in a room with a bat, seek medical care immediately. Bat bites may be hard to see.

All animals can pose a threat, but be extra careful around dogs, bats, monkeys, sea animals such as jellyfish, and snakes. If you are bitten or scratched by an animal, immediately:

• Wash the wound with soap and clean water.
• Go to a doctor right away.
• Tell your doctor about your injury when you get back to the United States.

Consider buying medical evacuation insurance. Rabies is a deadly disease that must be treated quickly, and treatment may not be available in some countries.

Reduce your exposure to germs

Follow these tips to avoid getting sick or spreading illness to others while traveling:

• Wash your hands often, especially before eating.
• If soap and water aren’t available, clean hands with hand sanitizer (containing at least 60% alcohol).
• Don’t touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you need to touch your face, make sure your hands are clean.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing.
• Try to avoid contact with people who are sick.
• If you are sick, stay home or in your hotel room, unless you need medical care.

Avoid sharing body fluids

Diseases can be spread through body fluids, such as saliva, blood, vomit, and semen.

Protect yourself:

• Use latex condoms correctly.
• Do not inject drugs.
• Limit alcohol consumption. People take more risks when intoxicated.
• Do not share needles or any devices that can break the skin. That includes needles for tattoos, piercings, and acupuncture.
• If you receive medical or dental care, make sure the equipment is disinfected or sanitized.

Know how to get medical care while traveling

Plan for how you will get health care during your trip, should the need arise:

• Carry a list of local doctors and hospitals at your destination.
• Review your health insurance plan to determine what medical services it would cover during your trip. Consider purchasing travel health and medical evacuation insurance.
• Carry a card that identifies, in the local language, your blood type, chronic conditions or serious allergies, and the generic names of any medications you take.
• Some prescription drugs may be illegal in other countries. Call Turkey’s embassy to verify that all of your prescription(s) are legal to bring with you.
• Bring all the medicines (including over-the-counter medicines) you think you might need during your trip, including extra in case of travel delays. Ask your doctor to help you get prescriptions filled early if you need to.

Many foreign hospitals and clinics are accredited by the Joint Commission International. A list of accredited facilities is available at their website ( www.jointcommissioninternational.org ).

In some countries, medicine (prescription and over-the-counter) may be substandard or counterfeit. Bring the medicines you will need from the United States to avoid having to buy them at your destination.

Malaria is a risk in some parts of Turkey. If you are going to a risk area, fill your malaria prescription before you leave, and take enough with you for the entire length of your trip. Follow your doctor’s instructions for taking the pills; some need to be started before you leave.

Select safe transportation

Motor vehicle crashes are the #1 killer of healthy US citizens in foreign countries.

In many places cars, buses, large trucks, rickshaws, bikes, people on foot, and even animals share the same lanes of traffic, increasing the risk for crashes.

Be smart when you are traveling on foot.

• Use sidewalks and marked crosswalks.
• Pay attention to the traffic around you, especially in crowded areas.
• Remember, people on foot do not always have the right of way in other countries.

Riding/Driving

Choose a safe vehicle.

• Choose official taxis or public transportation, such as trains and buses.
• Ride only in cars that have seatbelts.
• Avoid overcrowded, overloaded, top-heavy buses and minivans.
• Avoid riding on motorcycles or motorbikes, especially motorbike taxis. (Many crashes are caused by inexperienced motorbike drivers.)
• Choose newer vehicles—they may have more safety features, such as airbags, and be more reliable.
• Choose larger vehicles, which may provide more protection in crashes.

Think about the driver.

• Do not drive after drinking alcohol or ride with someone who has been drinking.
• Consider hiring a licensed, trained driver familiar with the area.
• Arrange payment before departing.

Follow basic safety tips.

• Wear a seatbelt at all times.
• Sit in the back seat of cars and taxis.
• When on motorbikes or bicycles, always wear a helmet. (Bring a helmet from home, if needed.)
• Avoid driving at night; street lighting in certain parts of Turkey may be poor.
• Do not use a cell phone or text while driving (illegal in many countries).
• Travel during daylight hours only, especially in rural areas.
• If you choose to drive a vehicle in Turkey, learn the local traffic laws and have the proper paperwork.
• Get any driving permits and insurance you may need. Get an International Driving Permit (IDP). Carry the IDP and a US-issued driver's license at all times.
• Check with your auto insurance policy's international coverage, and get more coverage if needed. Make sure you have liability insurance.
• Avoid using local, unscheduled aircraft.
• If possible, fly on larger planes (more than 30 seats); larger airplanes are more likely to have regular safety inspections.
• Try to schedule flights during daylight hours and in good weather.

Medical Evacuation Insurance

If you are seriously injured, emergency care may not be available or may not meet US standards. Trauma care centers are uncommon outside urban areas. Having medical evacuation insurance can be helpful for these reasons.

Helpful Resources

Road Safety Overseas (Information from the US Department of State): Includes tips on driving in other countries, International Driving Permits, auto insurance, and other resources.

The Association for International Road Travel has country-specific Road Travel Reports available for most countries for a minimal fee.

For information traffic safety and road conditions in Turkey, see Travel and Transportation on US Department of State's country-specific information for Turkey .

Maintain personal security

Use the same common sense traveling overseas that you would at home, and always stay alert and aware of your surroundings.

Before you leave

• Research your destination(s), including local laws, customs, and culture.
• Monitor travel advisories and alerts and read travel tips from the US Department of State.
• Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) .
• Leave a copy of your itinerary, contact information, credit cards, and passport with someone at home.
• Pack as light as possible, and leave at home any item you could not replace.

While at your destination(s)

• Carry contact information for the nearest US embassy or consulate .
• Carry a photocopy of your passport and entry stamp; leave the actual passport securely in your hotel.
• Follow all local laws and social customs.
• Do not wear expensive clothing or jewelry.
• Always keep hotel doors locked, and store valuables in secure areas.
• If possible, choose hotel rooms between the 2nd and 6th floors.

Healthy Travel Packing List

Use the Healthy Travel Packing List for Turkey for a list of health-related items to consider packing for your trip. Talk to your doctor about which items are most important for you.

Why does CDC recommend packing these health-related items?

It’s best to be prepared to prevent and treat common illnesses and injuries. Some supplies and medicines may be difficult to find at your destination, may have different names, or may have different ingredients than what you normally use.

If you are not feeling well after your trip, you may need to see a doctor. If you need help finding a travel medicine specialist, see Find a Clinic . Be sure to tell your doctor about your travel, including where you went and what you did on your trip. Also tell your doctor if you were bitten or scratched by an animal while traveling.

For more information on what to do if you are sick after your trip, see Getting Sick after Travel .

Antalya - The Land of Legends Theme Park with Transfer

The Land of Legends amusement park has added a host of fun-filled water activities to its already amazing offering. Boasting a scenic setting that's infused with thrill and plenty of exciting entertainment, The Land of Legends promises a day of both adrenaline-pumping rides and relaxation.

Sarigerme - River Dalyan Tour with Turtle Rescue Centre Visit

Winding its way from Lake Koycegiz to the Agean, the River Dalyan is home to freshwater and loggerhead turtles. And with a little help from our local guide Gökhan, you might get to see both species on this trip. ‘Home to bubbling hot springs and one of Turkey's top beaches – Iztuzu Beach – this place is a paradise on earth,' says Gökhan.

Side - Manavgat Market & Waterfall Tour with Riverboat Cruise

Sightseeing and a relaxing river cruise – there's something for everyone on this full day tour, exploring Manavgat bazaar and the beautiful surrounding area. Visit Manavgat Falls and enjoy a riverboat cruise.Everything begins at the Manavgat Falls on the River Manavgat. They're known as the ‘Little Falls' as their fast-flowing waters crash down a ridge into a bubbly, foaming fresh-water pool. Next, you can grab a bargain at a multi-brand outlet store, before heading inland for Manavgat's open air bazaar for more retail therapy. You'll hop onboard a riverboat cruise along the Manavgat next. Sit back and relax in the sunshine as you sail past reed beds and sandy beaches. After lunch on board, you'll moor at a beach, where the sea and the river meet. A perfect swimming opportunity ends this jam-packed day out.

Marmaris - Dalyan Riverboat Tour with Lunch and Iztuzu Beach

Surrounding yourself with natural beauty on a river cruise from Dalyan is a great way to unwind. One of Turkey's most pristine beaches is the destination, with stops at mud baths and a riverside restaurant en route. Ceren, one of our local guides, says, ‘Iztuzu Beach is also known as Turtle Beach because endangered loggerhead turtles nest here. It's a magical spot with very little human interference. The beach was all set to be developed with new resorts in the 1980s, but luckily conservation was prioritised.'Sail down the Dalyan River on an eco-friendly boat – which doesn't harm marine life – and have fun smoothing on the anti-ageing clay at the mud baths. It's great for glowing skin, and it's believed that Cleopatra visited for a pampering soak in the mineral-rich liquid mud. Finish with a dip in the warm sulphur pool before gliding across the river for a freshly prepared lunch of local dishes. You'll then add a little history and culture to the mix, as you continue on the riverboat past Lycian Rock Tombs – dating back to 400BC – carved into the cliffs.As the river widens into a lagoon, you'll have the chance to spot birdlife before docking at Iztuzu Beach. This 4km-long sweep of golden sand divides the river from the sea, a natural oasis that's a true haven for wildlife. Sheltered by mountains, the beach shelves gently into a calm bay, where an afternoon of pure relaxation beckons. Round off your day with the return relaxing river cruise to Dalyan.

Fethiye - Dalyan at Dusk Tour with Dinner and Riverboat Trip

If you like the sound of riverside scenery and a pristine beach, then this tour ticks all the boxes. You'll explore the Dalyan Delta, starting with Iztuzu Beach and a look around Dalyan old town, followed by a barbecue dinner and an evening boat trip. Elif, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Lycian Rock Tombs are elaborate burial chambers that were carved into the cliffs over two millennia ago by the Lycians to honour members of the ruling class. They are dramatically lit in the evening – it's a really atmospheric experience.'First up, while the sun's still warm, you'll visit a turtle rescue centre, then enjoy some free time at peaceful Iztuzu Beach, where loggerhead turtles come to nest every year. Then you'll explore Dalyan's historic town centre under the twinkle of dusk.

And to round off the evening, you'll enjoy a tranquil boat ride along the Dalyan River to see the famous Lycian tombs carved into the rock face.

Great for skin and circulation, it's believed that Cleopatra visited for a soak in the mud and a cleansing dip in the warm sulphur pool.

Ceren adds, ‘This tour is one of my favourites, as you get to see the river and a great beach in one trip. Turtle beach is special because it's not like a busy resort beach. It's really relaxing.'

Sun, Sea, and Adventure

Holidays to Turkey, for most visitors, are all about lazy days on golden sand beaches, sipping cocktails at chic marinas and tucking into succulent chargrilled kebabs… so it’s only right we tell you the best places to dip your toes into some seaside adventure. Visit Oludeniz Beach’s crystal-clear waters for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. The nearby Babadag Mountain offers excellent paragliding opportunities for adventure seekers. Accessible by boat from Oludeniz, Butterfly Valley is a hidden gem surrounded by cliffs. This natural paradise is home to diverse flora and fauna, including the rare Jersey tiger butterfly. Hike to the valley’s waterfall, relax on the beach, or camp under the stars. The charming town of Kaş is a gateway to some of Turkey’s best diving spots. Explore underwater caves, ancient shipwrecks, and vibrant marine life. Nearby Kekova Island is famous for its sunken city, which you can explore by boat or kayak. Patara Beach is one of the longest and most unspoiled beaches in Turkey. Its golden sands and turquoise waters are perfect for a relaxing day by the sea. The beach is also a nesting site for endangered loggerhead turtles, so keep your eyes peeled! With so many Blue Flag beaches, you're bound to find a patch of perfect sand wherever you stay in Turkey.

See Fairytales Take Flight

Cappadocia is a unique and otherworldly place. Shaped over millennia by nature's elemental forces, the region offers a stunning vista of towering rock formations, deep valleys, and hidden caves. With underground cities, churches, and monasteries embedded in these unique rocks, exploring these underground marvels at The Göreme Open-Air Museum is like stepping back in time to a world of mysticism and magic.  Wander through their labyrinthine tunnels in the underground cities of Derinkuyu and Kaymakli. Hike scenic trails through the surreal Red Valley dotted with vibrant wildflowers. Or simply take in the beauty from a rooftop brunch spot. But Cappadocia’s enchanting landscape is best appreciated from above. A hot air balloon ride at sunrise is a bucket-list experience, offering breathtaking views of the region’s unique fairy chimneys, and ancient cave dwellings. It’s a magical way to start your day.

Be Inspired by Istanbul

From the stunningly beautiful mosques and palaces that dot the city's skyline to the bustling markets and vibrant nightlife, Istanbul is a melting pot of cultures.  Visit one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, the Hagia Sophia. Its massive dome, stunning mosaics, and rich history make it a must-visit. Just a short walk from Hagia Sophia is the Blue Mosque, officially known as the Sultan Ahmed Mosque. This architectural masterpiece is famous for its six minarets and blue Iznik tiles that adorn its interior. Step into the opulent world of the Ottoman sultans at Topkapi Palace and explore its lavish courtyards, ornate rooms, and the Harem. For a taste of Istanbul’s vibrant culture, head to the Grand Bazaar, one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world. With over 4,000 shops selling everything from spices and textiles to jewellery and souvenirs, it’s a shopper’s paradise. Don’t forget to haggle for the best prices! To truly appreciate Istanbul’s unique geography, take a cruise along the Bosphorus Strait. This natural waterway divides the city into its European and Asian sides. A Bosphorus cruise offers stunning views of historic palaces, fortresses, and charming waterfront neighbourhoods.

Ancient Ruins and Timeless Tales

If you’re a lover of the ancient world, Turkey is a treasure trove of gems; and one of its shining diamonds is Ephesus. One of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world, wander through its marble streets and explore iconic landmarks such as the Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre, and the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Journey just past Ephesus and discover the small stone house believed to be the final residence of the Virgin Mary. A place of pilgrimage for Christians and a serene spot for reflection, this site is surrounded by lush greenery and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Visit the ruins of the Basilica of St. John, built in the 6th century over the believed burial site of John the Apostle. The basilica’s impressive architecture and panoramic views of Selçuk and the surrounding area make it worth the visit. Explore the hauntingly beautiful ruins of Ani, an ancient city near the Armenian border. Once a thriving metropolis, Ani is now a ghost city with remnants of churches, mosques, and fortifications that tell tales of its storied past.

Baths, Baths… and More Baths

We know what you’re thinking, a bath on a summer holiday… Why? Turkish baths, or hammams, are more than a soak in warm water, they’re a key part of Turkish culture and an experience that offers both relaxation and a glimpse into the country's rich traditions. The hammam is a place of cleansing and socializing, where visitors can unwind in a tranquil, steamy environment. The process typically involves a series of heated rooms, starting with a warm room to relax and prepare the body, followed by a hotter room where the skin is scrubbed and exfoliated with a traditional Kese mitt, and finally, a cool room for relaxation. Beyond its physical benefits, the Turkish bath is a cultural immersion, where the architectural beauty of the bathhouses, with their marble interiors and domed ceilings, adds to the overall serene and luxurious ambience. But baths can come in many forms. Pamukkale, meaning “Cotton Castle” in Turkish, is famous for its stunning white travertine terraces formed by mineral-rich thermal waters. Walk barefoot along the terraces and take a dip in the warm, therapeutic waters. Whether you're seeking to detoxify, relax, or simply enjoy a unique traditional experience, a visit to a Turkish bath is an unmissable part of any trip to Turkey.

Food & Drink

Holidays to Turkey are alive with delightful dishes and restaurants galore. With resorts offering everything from traditional Turkish cuisines to international family favourites, there is plenty to sink your teeth into on a holiday to Turkey. Plus, with all-inclusive hotels taking centre stage in Turkey, we’re sure you’ll get to try it all!   Indulge in a traditional Turkish breakfast, known as kahvalti. Experience the ritual of Turkish tea and coffee served in small tulip-shaped glasses. Wander bustling markets sampling simit (sesame-coated bread rings), döner kebab, and börek (savoury pastry). Sit marina side and sample fresh seafood, kumpir (stuffed baked potatoes) and midye dolma (stuffed mussels). Or indulge your sweet tooth with Turkish delight, a confection made of sugar and starch, often flavoured with rosewater, lemon, or pistachios. Whether you favour an elegant eatery, traditional restaurant, or street food stall, Turkey is a culinary adventure waiting to tickle your tastebuds.
