Do we understand correctly that the airport transfer on the last day is included? We can see flights are not included, would you be able to book it for Asmahan and her son? If yes, what would be the price?

I have to check on Monday the availability, until further it cannot be confirmed before this availability check. How old is the son? I have to check the flight options as well and if it can be booked, usually there are only recommendations for the flight booking which then have to be done by the travellers.

what does it mean when it says at the end of tour the the flight from Izmir to Istanbul is not included? do we have to book another flight?

In our packages the domestic flights are not included, these are booked by our guests themselves, we usually give recommendations. There is a good choice of domestic flights in Turkey with Turkish Airlines. Pegasus and Sunexpress.

Would like to know if a tour in June 2023 is possible. Also, do you accept an 8 years old traveller on this tour?

The tour will be suitable for children of 8 years age. Summer 2023 prices will be published soon.

Is there a private trip for 8 adults with an Arabic translator possible?

We do not have fluent Arabic speaking employees, but for guide services we hire professional licensed guides. There might be a translation option if you write in Arabic.

Can I drop that flight, and instead fly to Kos, Greece on my own?

Yes, you can drop the last flight and adjust your travel according to your plan. Kos by flight from Izmir will not be direct, most probably via Athens. More easy to go from Bodrum in Turkey by ferry boat. From Izmir to Bodrum you can go by bus, there are comfortable and good modern buses going often and daily.

  Traveler•Written November 2022
  We have been told our 8 year old is acceptable because of a mistake on your advertisement. On your website two adults and two children can share one room yet your latest email says we cannot. We are finding this all very unprofessional and disorganised.
- Destination Services TurkeyOperator•Written December 2022
  Our hotel partners only accept room occupancy for a maximum of 3 people. 2 adults and 1 child is possible. Children sharing a room with an adult will be charged at the full adult rate.
