Welcome to Turkey 2008
During
May the Aegean seaside resorts blossom into life as the tourism
season really gets underway. Still not the busiest time of year and
temperatures are much the same indoors as out. In fact for those who
are looking to explore rather than laze on a beach, May is pretty
much the best time of year to visit Turkey.
Between now and the end of June the daytime temperatures rise daily
as we head towards full summer. May and June offer a perfect
combination of excellent weather and uncrowded tourist sights, what
better time then to pack your bags and head off for sunnier climes.
FERRY SERVICES
ITALY-TURKEY
Driving direct from Europe to Turkey is still a long and stressful
experience. Even EU membership has not eliminated border crossing
aggravation at most eastern European check points.
The direct ferry from Italy still offers the most practical and
economical way to get to Turkey by car.
Ancona-Turkey
May-June and September-October.
Brindisi-Turkey
July and August.
ISTANBUL-BODRUM
An altogether more relaxing way to journey from Istanbul to Bodrum,
right in the heart of the Aegean region of Turkey is by the twice
weekly overnight ferry. More of a mini-cruise than a ferry, this
re-location ferry sails through the Sea of Marmara and passes many
of the Greek islands set in the Eastern Aegean Sea.
Istanbul-Bodrum
Our website is now completely updated for the new season with each tourism service now in its own section. Whether you want a quiet getaway, a feast of historical sites or an active sporting holiday, we can arrange all or any part of it.
The number of flight opportunities increases each year as Turkey becomes more popular as a holiday destination. Apart from the many direct charter flights available from Europe, many scheduled flight companies have now adopted the variable seat pricing policies pioneered by the low cost carriers and now offer lower prices for early bookings along with all the advantages of a scheduled flight
If your main reason for visit Turkey is to sample the culture and to visit some of the many historical sites and ancient monuments, then April and May offer lower prices, un-crowded historical sightseeing opportunities and day-time temperatures ranging between 20c and 30c.
Fast Information
Finding up-to-date tourism information on the Internet can not only be time consuming but finding contact information on some websites is sometimes impossible. If you have a question about tourism in Turkey, just need ask us. We don't avoid you contacting us directly by having impersonal 'booking engines' and pages of frequently asked questions, we actually welcome your personal inquiries, we're right here in Turkey to help you.
Vacation Planning
Using
the Internet it's relatively easy to book your holiday direct. Given
enough time you can of course deal direct with each hotel and transport company.
Booking direct is OK providing everything goes to plan and no
difficulties arise, for example from language misunderstandings or
you want to make last minute changes. Trying to sort
out problems while on holiday from an Internet cafe is, well not
everyone's idea of a relaxing holiday.
This is where we can help, we are located right here in Turkey. We have an established network of reliable hotels, transport and excursion companies that we are happy to recommend based on experience and feedback from satisfied clients. What's more, our tour and holiday planning service is free and our prices are the same or less as booking direct. We help you plan your itinerary, check customized tour feasibility, make hotel and transport recommendations based on your budget and provide guide prices all the way to a final detailed quotation. All our clients have 24/7 access to our telephone helpline number, so if anything goes wrong or you need to change your itinerary, even while you're in Turkey, a single telephone call gets it sorted out. We become your single point of contact for everything.
Registered Agency
We
are not an Internet booking portal located in another country
with little or no experience of tourism in Turkey
We are a family run Turkish company based in Turkey with English and Turkish partners. All our staff speak English and we have been helping independent travelers make their holiday arrangements in Turkey for over 12 years. We are not one of the travel related Internet booking portals located outside Turkey that have little or no experience of tourism services in Turkey, have probably never even been to Turkey and make it almost impossible to contact a real person should things go wrong or you need to change your booking.
Payment Security
We also offer a choice of several easy and secure payment options. We accept deposit payments for some bookings made more than 3 months in advance and payment can be made by credit card via our secure website and by bank transfer or Western Union money transfer in Euros, British Pounds, US Dollars and Australian Dollars. Our business practices are overseen by TURSAB, the Government association of Turkish Travel Agencies.
Please take a little time to
browse around our website, if you are planning a holiday in Turkey
this year you will find everything here.
In addition to main ferry services to and within Greece we can
also arrange tourism services on the main Greek islands and in Athens.
