Tour Detail
PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENT
This tour is organized with a minimum participation requirement of 25 people. If sufficient participation is not achieved, the final cancellation notice date is 20 days before the tour start date. The tour canceled due to insufficient participation will be notified to you through your agency.
VISA
Ordinary Passport ✅ Visa Required
Green Passport ❌ Visa Not Required
Service Passport ❌ Visa Not Required
You must have a passport valid for 6 months from the end date of travel and not older than 10 years.
In destinations where a visa is required, the visa application must be made with the documents specified in the “Documents Required for Visa” list that your agency will provide to you for the visa application. In order to avoid problems with customs police at the border of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet and/or similarly damaged passports; such passports must be renewed, and if it is a country that applies visas to T.C. citizens, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger. Since our guests under 18 may be asked for a document showing the mutual consent of the parents by the police officer on duty at country entry and exit when traveling alone or with only one of their parents; we recommend that our guests under 18 and their parents be sensitive about this matter.
HEALTH
*We do not think you will encounter any health-threatening issues with meals taken in the region’s good restaurants and hotels. However, when you are not with the group, we recommend being careful about eating and drinking, definitely consuming bottled water, avoiding ice, milk and dairy products, eating meat and fish products that you are sure are well cooked, and for fruit, choosing fruits that can be peeled, such as bananas and pineapples.
*For possible health problems or injuries that may occur due to reasons beyond your control, we strongly recommend that you obtain a report and invoice from the health facilities where you receive treatment. It will be useful for insurance-related procedures if needed.

IMPORTANT NOTES
*Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for destinations/passports that require a visa) does not mean that entry into the country is guaranteed. The passport police have the authority not to let you into the country. Our Agency is not responsible for this situation; responsibility belongs to the passenger.
*The agency is an intermediary institution between the airline and the passenger and is subject to the 28.09.1955 Hague Protocol. There may be a risk of delay on scheduled and special flights, or times may change before the current trip and flight.
*The agency is obliged to notify these changes as soon as possible. Our passengers have purchased the tour knowing and accepting that flight details may change.

Some tours may be carried out by public transport or on foot where roads are closed or vehicle entry is not permitted, within possibilities.

Travel Health coverage is valid for ages 0-65. Guests over 65 are required to obtain insurance by paying an additional premium. We recommend that you always obtain Travel and Health Insurance for your trips to ensure your protection.
*However, it should be known that this insurance does not cover unconditional cancellations; in the event of force majeure, non-chronic and sudden illnesses, accidents, and the same negative situations of a first-degree relative, the reports to be obtained are submitted to the relevant insurance company and, after evaluation, are included in the cancellation coverage. These evaluations are made by the relevant Health and Insurance Company’s health institutions and are outside the scope of our agency’s responsibility.
