    1.Additional information

    1. Which iconic regions of Türkiye does this tour cover? Our "Best of Türkiye" program is a curated blend of history and nature. We start from the historical peninsula of Istanbul, extend to the fairytale valleys of Cappadocia, and descend into the heart of the ancient world, such as Ephesus and Hierapolis (Pamukkale). You will explore 4-5 of Türkiye's most popular destinations in a single tour.

    2. How is intercity transportation provided during the tour? We know your time and comfort are valuable. Therefore, by minimizing long and tiring bus journeys, we carry out our intercity transfers with comfortable, high-standard, and modern VIP vehicles. Our goal is for you to enjoy your destination, not get tired on the road.

    3. What are the standards of the hotels? At Azure Voyage, we do not compromise on quality. Throughout the tour, you will stay in meticulously selected 4 and 5-star hotels that reflect the texture of the region. Our priority is for you to start the day with a rich breakfast and enjoy a peaceful night's sleep.

    4. Will there be a professional guide with us during the tour? Absolutely! You will be accompanied by our professional and licensed guides who are masters of Türkiye’s history, culture, and hidden stories. This is not just a "tourist trip," but a cultural journey where you will hear the story behind every stone.

    5. Is this tour an all-inclusive package? Our program is a comprehensive package designed to make your travel easier. Airport transfers, flight tickets, hotel accommodations, museum entrance fees, and the lunches and/or dinners specified in the program are included. For personal expenses and independent meals, our guide will offer the best local recommendations.

    6. Do I need to pay an extra fee if I am participating alone? You can join our tour alone! However, since hotel accommodations are planned on a double occupancy basis, a small "Single Supplement" fee is charged for guests who wish to stay in a single room. If you would like to experience this tour privately on your own, please contact us for special pricing.

    7. Is the hot air balloon tour in Cappadocia included? Hot air balloon tours are optional and weather-dependent. However, as Azure Voyage, we reserve your place during the booking phase upon your request so you don't miss this unique experience. By notifying us in advance, you can guarantee your spot and avoid last-minute price increases.

    8. What are the meal menus like? Are there Vegetarian/Vegan options? You will taste the most exquisite examples of Anatolian cuisine! We offer a wide range from kebabs to fresh olive oil dishes. If you have a special diet (vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free), just let us know before the tour; we will prepare our restaurants for you.

    9. Do I need a visa for travel to Türkiye? Visa procedures vary depending on your citizenship. For many countries, it is possible to obtain a visa in a few minutes with the "e-visa" system.

    10. When is the best time for the tour and what should I wear? Türkiye is beautiful in all four seasons! However, spring (April-June) and autumn (September-November) offer the most ideal temperatures. We recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes, a light jacket for the evening, and appropriate clothing (such as a headscarf/covering for shoulders and knees) for mosque visits.
