Welcome to Turkey 2008
We're
more than half way through the year and the tourist resorts in Turkey are
in full swing. Its high season and daytime temperatures don't get
any higher than during the months of July and August. This is the
time for watersports, lazing on the beach during the afternoon and
enjoying cooler evenings eating good food and enjoying the night
life. For those seeking to explore the historical
aspects of Turkey rather than lazing on a beach then now is the time
to book a holiday during the cooler months of September and October.
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 has been completely overhauled, it's now faster with each tourism service in its own section, navigation is as simple as it can be. So whether you want a quiet getaway, a feast of historical sites or an active sporting holiday now is the time to start planning, we can arrange all or any part of it. We provide fast information about all tourism services in Turkey and we are currently working on our 'mobile friendly' website providing another way to get information and allowing reservations to be made via your web enabled phone or PDA, check it out to see how were doing here.
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.
Fast Information
Finding up-to-date tourism information on the Internet can be time consuming and finding contact information on some websites is sometimes impossible. If you have a question about tourism in Turkey you just need ask us. We don't avoid contact with visitors to our website by taking reservations via impersonal 'booking engines' or try to answer your questions with pages of frequently asked questions, we actually welcome your personal inquiries, we're right here in Bodrum, Turkey to help you.
Vacation Planning
Using
the Internet it's relatively easy to book your holiday piece by
piece direct
with each service provider.
Booking direct is OK providing you have the time, 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. Why increase the risk of
your credit card details being compromised by making multiple
payments to several companies when you can send your details via our
secure website once and make a single payment for all your arrangements.
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. While in Turkey 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 in English. Make us 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, some of whom have probably never even been to Turkey and make it almost impossible to contact a real person should things go wrong, you need to change your booking or get a cancellation refund.

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 operated 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.
If you are planning to visit Turkey next year don't forget that the
new variable ticket price arrangements mean that the earlier you book
the cheaper it is.

now also arrange some tourism services on the main Greek islands and in Athens.
