They are simply a very professional company and offer super customer service.
After a busy meeting day, we are picked up at our hotel by good conditioned bus to drive to our booked dinner cruise tour. The trip itself has been the highlight of our international meeting. Illuminated Istanbul by night was fantastic and worth seeing. The service has been very quick and attentive, we had good drinks and meal. Thank you for seamless day.

- Go Diving in Kas: Considered one of the best dive sites in the Mediterranean, Kas is a must for those who take their adventure travel under the waves.

- Visit a Turkish Nature Park : There are countless protected nature parks throughout Turkey, perfect for outdoor activities. Depending on your interests, look for active travel companies in Turkey that utilize these picturesque spots for everything from angling and rafting to wildlife observation and mountain biking.

- Kackar Mountains: The Kackar Range is one of the best places in Turkey for ecotourism and a favorite of nature-loving travelers.
- Dilek Peninsula: Not only is the Diley Peninsula National Park breathtaking, but it is also one of Turkey’s most important natural heritage sites. Located in the Aydin province in the Aegean region, it is also a world heritage site.
- Mount Erciyes in Cappadocia: This now-extinct volcano is in central Anatolia. Your small group’s local Turkish guide can help you navigate the mysterious lunar-like landscape of Cappadocia, famous for its fairy chimneys.
- Thermal Springs : Turkey is rich in thermal springs thanks to an ancient volcanic landscape. Tours focused on active adventure travel in Turkey will tell you where to see and soak in these healing waters.
- Pamukkale: With its gleaming white tiers over which blue hot springs cascade gently, Pamukkale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of Turkey’s most famous natural wonders. The ancient Romans living near Hierapolis visited the pools for their mineral-rich, healing properties.
- Mount Ararat: Adventure travelers on vacation in Turkey will love rugged, snow-capped Mount Ararat, the country’s highest mountain and source of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.
- Aegean Sea : The Aegean region is one of the most photographed spots in Turkey, thanks to the flower-bedecked Butterfly Valley. Look for the rare Jersey tiger butterfly.
- Nemrut Lake: Turkey tours that visit Eastern Anatolia will highlight Nemrut Lake, the world’s second-largest crater lake and Turkey’s largest. There are steam chimneys, ice caves, hot and cold water to plunge into and soak in, a unique caldera landscape, and excellent birdwatching.

- Simit — a savory sesame-covered roll (think: Turkish bagel)
- Midye dolma — stuffed mussels
- Kokoreç — grilled sheep intestines with a heavy dose of spices, roasted on a skewer
- Turkish Delight: Don’t head home from your Turkey vacation without these traditional sweet treats. Choose from several flavors, including rose, cinnamon, and lemon, of this gummy treat. If you’re in Istanbul, stop by Hacir Bekir Efendi’s family shop — the original inventor of the Turkish delight.
- The Evil Eye (Nazar Boncugu): Ward off bad luck with this ancient Turkish talisman. If your Turkey tour visits Nazarkoy in western Izmir, you can see the workshops where many of these evil eyes are manufactured.
- Turkish Carpets: Bring a long-lasting Turkish carpet home to remind you of your travels to Turkey. Ask your tour guide for tips before shopping because many copycat carpets are flooding the market. Your expert local guide can point you in the right direction and help you navigate the traditional carpet choices. Given the high price tags, it’s worth it to take the time to do your research.
- Cappadocia Clay Pottery: Many Turkey vacation packages visit the intriguing Cappadocia region — shop for red clay pottery, particularly in Avanos on the Red River town. Want to give pottery a try yourself? Look for Cappadocia tours that include a trip to a workshop where you can sit down with the artists and provide the potter’s wheel a spin yourself.
- Apple Tea: The Rize area is Turkey’s tea capital, and although apple tea is a favorite Turkish souvenir, the locals drink black tea. Turkish coffee is another go-to souvenir for caffeine lovers — grab one of the small copper cups the locals use for it.
- Spices: You’ll be trying a whole range of Turkish cuisine during your small-group tour and, no doubt, looking forward to replicating the flavors when you return home. Shop at the Spice Market and Istanbul Grand Bazaar for red chili flakes and sumac. Just don’t fall for saffron because most of what you’ll find stems from Iran, not Turkey.
- Gourd Lamps: Less likely to break in your luggage than mosaic glass lamps, gourd lamps are readily available for purchase along the Turkish coastline and are made from dried squash, then decorated with sparkling jewels.

A woman's birthday getaway to Turkey turned into a fight for survival after a sudden and severe illness. Ronni Douglas, 26, was enjoying her all-inclusive TUI holiday in Bodrum when she was struck by intense stomach pains and uncontrollable vomiting just three days into her trip.
The situation took a dire turn when Ronni was taken to hospital and diagnosed with a perforated oesophagus, an acute condition that creates a hole in the passage from the throat to the stomach, putting her life at risk. Her family is now facing a financial crisis as they work to cover the 'staggering' medical expenses.
Already burdened with a £5,000 bill for her immediate care and potential surgery, the costs are expected to rise since Ronni cannot leave Turkey until her health allows for travel. In response, her sister Fallon Douglas has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help with the medical fees, which has gathered over £3,900 so far, but the family is still in desperate need of support.
Ronni's holiday began on August 12, accompanied by her niece, nephew, and mother, Dawn. However, shortly into their week-long stay, she had to be hospitalised due to her condition.
Fallon recounted the harrowing experience: "Just a few days into our holiday, my sister started getting really bad stomach pain and throwing up. Two days after she was discharged she was still really sick - she was throwing up constantly, wasn't eating anything and hadn't been to the toilet for days", reports Birmingham Live .
![illuminated tours turkey Ronni (L) went to Bodrum for a belated birthday getaway with her mother and two young nieces](https://i2-prod.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/article29804848.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/0_whatsapp-image-2024-08-20-at-132704.jpg)
"She was taken back to a local clinic who found she had a perforated oesophagus. She's not in a good way at the minute."
Dawn has already forked out nearly £1,000 on initial care costs, including flights to bring Ronni's niece and nephew back to the UK. The family said they were bracing themselves for a £5,000 bill for further care, with additional charges piling up the longer Ronni stayed in hospital.
Fallon revealed that the family mistakenly jetted off to Turkey without insurance, wrongly assuming it was included in their TUI package. They only secured cover two days into the holiday.
However, Dawn was reportedly informed by hospital staff that the insurance would not foot the bill for Ronni's treatment, leaving the family staring down the barrel of 'staggering' costs for Ronni's care.
Fallon added: "The language barrier is a big problem so we don't really know how much the final bill is going to cost. It's a very serious condition, she needs emergency treatment."
"She is too ill to be moved so we need to raise money for her treatment at the hospital which will add to the cost. Yesterday was a very stressful day and today is worse because no-one is there with her at the minute."
"My niece and nephew are too young to really understand what was going on. We'd be very grateful for any help the public can give us."
The family has kicked off a fundraising campaign to help fund Ronni's treatment. The page reads: "What started as a family holiday in Turkey has turned into an unimaginable nightmare, and we need your help more than ever."
"Right now, Ronni needs every ounce of strength and support she can get to pull through this terrifying ordeal. The last thing we want her to worry about is the cost of her care."
"Your donations, no matter the amount, will make a tangible difference in ensuring she gets the treatment she desperately needs. This is the most challenging time our family has ever faced, and knowing that we have a community of people who care gives us hope and strength."
