GENERAL QUESTIONS

Do you need vaccinations for Turkey? How about Covid 19 requirements?

Please ask your general practitioner or travel doctor. We cannot give medical advice about whether or not you require vaccinations. In general, people travelling to Turkey do not have vaccinations as there are no official requirements. Some doctors recommend typhoid vaccinations if you plan to visit the southeast of Turkey.

Most doctors also recommend vaccinations against hepatitis A and B wherever you travel in the world. Malaria is not a problem in Turkey but you should still carry mosquito repellents. If you would like vaccinations, visit your doctor one month prior to departure from your home country.

How do I get a Turkish tourist visa?

You need to have 6 months validity left on your passport when entering the country.

Turkey has now introduced an e-visa system that prevents waiting in long queues at the airport. The process for application is simple. Head to the website listed below and chose for instructions to be displayed in English. Answer the questions on the application form, then pay using Visa or Mastercard.

Once your application has been submitted, you will receive your e-visa via email within 48 hours.

Is internet widely available?

Most hotels throughout Turkey have internet installed and they open it up for use by customers. The password can be obtained from reception. You should always check whether there is a charge before using it. Most cafes and restaurants offer wifi for free for customers and some of our tours buses also has wifi. Otherwise, in most of the busy cities and towns, there are internet cafes.

Is Turkey suitable for disabled people?

This depends on the disability. The hearing impaired should be accompanied by a professional sign language translator if they want to join guided tours. People with walking disabilities should check with our staff regarding the level of difficulty for the area they want to visit. We can source disabled friendly hotels however in many rural places, wheel chair ramps are non existent and the conditions of roads are unsuitable for wheelchairs. Please email or call us with details of the disability and we can advise further.

Are there any religious events that will affect travel plans?

Tourism in Turkey carries on when there is a religious event or public holiday. Places like banks, school, and offices will shut but restaurants, hotels and bars will stay open.

Two religious holidays occur and their timing changes every year according to the Islamic calendar. Road trips during these periods are generally avoided since traffic is heavy, with Turks visiting families in their hometowns. Banks and offices will close for the duration of these periods. Attractions and historical sites will often close for the morning of the first day and open for normal business in the afternoon.

Public Holidays in Turkey : How Will They Affect Your Visit?

Planning your holiday to ensure no interruptions occur is easy. A set check list covering all aspects including what to pack and weather conditions, normally prevents most things from going wrong.

Unfortunately, one aspect that people tend to forget is public and religious holidays and how they will affect opening hours of amenities and attractions.
