Turkey

Turkey is a country that gives travelers more than they expect. Ancient Roman ruins rise beside soaring Byzantine domes, centuries-old trade routes open into bustling bazaars, and a single trip can take you from Istanbul's skyline of minarets to the rock valleys of Cappadocia and the clear blue water of the Mediterranean coast. People have been making this journey for centuries — and our Turkey tours are made to bring you the very best of it, without the stress of arranging everything yourself.


Whether you join a ready-made group departure or travel on a private trip designed around you, we look after the transfers, the hotels, and the guides — so your only job is to enjoy the journey.

 

Experience the Icons: Turkey's Natural and Human Marvels

Most journeys begin in Istanbul, the one city in the world that sits on two continents at once. Walk into the immense, sunlit dome of the Hagia Sophia, admire the blue-tiled splendor of the Blue Mosque, and disappear into the winding lanes of the Grand Bazaar — layer upon layer of history gathered in one unforgettable skyline.


Then the scenery shifts entirely. In Cappadocia, you'll wake before sunrise to drift over a landscape of fairy chimneys in a hot air balloon, then head underground to explore the vast hidden cities carved deep into the rock. On the Aegean coast, you'll stroll the marble streets of Ephesus, one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the Mediterranean, and stand beneath the magnificent Library of Celsus. And at Pamukkale, you'll step through warm thermal pools cascading over dazzling white stone terraces, right beside the ruins of ancient Hierapolis.

 

Turkey Travel Packages Shaped Around You

The best journeys are the ones built around what matters to you. Drawn to ancient history, food, slow days by the sea, or active adventure? Our travel experts work alongside you to shape a Turkey travel package that matches your pace, your budget, and the things you most want to see. With private transfers, hand-picked hotels, and expert local guides all taken care of, every detail is handled — leaving you free to savor the flavors, the stories, and the moments that make Turkey unforgettable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We’ve got answers. Find everything you need to know to plan your perfect trip.

Yes, Turkey is generally considered a safe travel destination for tourists. Millions of visitors travel there each year, enjoying its rich history and culture. You'll find Turkish cities to be not only vibrant and fascinating but also reassuringly secure for visitors.

This thoughtful approach to safety allows you to fully relax and immerse yourself in the incredible experiences Turkey offers. So come and explore with confidence, and discover the welcoming heart of this magnificent crossroads of continents.

  1.  Pack Smart for Culture & Terrain

    • Modest Dress: Pack a headscarf and clothes covering shoulders/knees for visiting mosques.

    • Comfortable Shoes: You will walk extensively on historic, uneven cobblestone streets.

    • Power Adapter: Turkey uses Type F power sockets (220V).

  2.  Manage Your Money Conveniently

    • Exchange Wisely: Avoid airport exchanges; use local banks or ATMs for better rates.

    • Bargain Politely: Haggling is expected in bazaars like Istanbul's Grand Bazaar—start at about 50-60% of the asking price.

  3.  Stay Connected & Get Around

    • Local SIM: Buy a tourist SIM card at the airport for affordable data to use maps and translation apps.

    • Transport Card: In Istanbul, get an Istanbulkart for seamless, discounted travel on all public transport.

  5.  Respect Local Customs & Etiquette

    • Shoe Etiquette: Remove shoes before entering homes and mosques.

    • Greetings & Dining: A simple "Merhaba" (hello) goes far. Use your right hand for eating, greeting, and exchanging items.

  6.  Plan Logistically & Be Flexible

    • Check Visa Requirements: Apply for an e-Visa online well before your trip.

    • Book Key Experiences Early: Popular activities like Cappadocia hot air balloon rides sell out months ahead.

For a stress-free and calm start to your trip, we recommend arriving at the airport with plenty of time. For domestic flights, aim to be there two hours before departure, and for international flights, plan on three hours. This gives you a relaxed buffer to check in, clear security, and get to your gate without rushing, so the real fun can begin the moment you board.

Enjoying a fantastic trip starts with planning and scheduling; however, the actual journey starts at the airport, so we recommend some tips and tricks help you get the perfect Turkey Tour. 

Smart Airport Hacks for a Smooth Start to Turkey:

  • Check-In Early: Print your boarding pass or have it ready on your phone before arriving to save time.

  • Be Bag Savvy: Use a bright luggage tag or ribbon to spot your bag quickly, and always pack essentials and a change of clothes in your carry-on.

  • Pack Smart for Security: Keep all liquids in a clear, sealable bag within your carry-on for easy access during security checks.

  • Arrive Relaxed, Board Last: Don't rush to queue at the gate. Boarding last can mean a more comfortable waiting time and less time cramped on the plane.

  • Charge Up: Bring a universal power adapter (multi-plug) to keep all your devices charged, especially during layovers.

  • Listen & Settle In: Once on board, pay attention to the safety briefing and crew instructions to ensure a calm and pleasant flight to your Turkish adventure.

One of the very first questions that pops up when you visit Turkey is what to eat in Turkey. Turkish Food varies and fits all nutritional diets and tastes. Turkish cuisine, comprising some local dishes you would not like to miss, such as the Doner Kebabs (Shawarma), Simit, Menemen, Meze, and more, Turkish food can make your unforgettable, fabulous Turkey Tour.

The deposit required will be 25% of the total price of the tour, except during peak travel times around Christmas and New Year’s, when the deposit will be 50% of the total price.
Sure. Just contact us and let us help you with your satisfaction.
Meals, mainly lunch and dinner, are included where they are mentioned in the itinerary. Buffet Breakfasts are included every morning in all the hotels you are staying in during your tour.
No problems at all. Just tell this to our tour leader and he’ll advise and help. On top, many dinners are a buffet, so you can simply choose what you like. For allergic people, if in doubts, please remind your case to tour leader in the restaurants, or ask the staff about the content of the dishes.
Buses for larger groups and minibusses for smaller ones. Vehicles are modern and with air-conditioning.

Tours usually start from Istanbul, as mentioned in the trip description of each specific tour, where it starts and ends too.

We offer acknowledgeable English-Speaking Tour guides and Tour Leaders.
Yes, a tour guide will accompany the tourists on the bus and during the whole trip, except for places when just a very few people are signed up. Small groups will be traveling with an experienced English-speaking driver-guide. For the city tours, we use local professional and licensed guides.
We can never tell exactly (neither guarantee) how many people will be on the specific route. Normally, it is about 10-20 persons in a group. In some cases, it could be more, in other days you travel with just a few more people or even by your party only. In summer (high season) groups tend to be larger, and smaller in winter. The number of travelers might change on different sections of the route. For example, if you are on a 10-day trip, there could be other travelers who are on a 5-day trip, so they will split after.

There are no obligatory vaccinations that should be taken before being granted a visa for Turkey. However, it would be recommended for the elderly and for young children to take vaccinations against Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and an oral dosage of Tetanus.

Credit cards are widely used in Turkey in hotels, shops, restaurants, and cafes. Most stores in markets accept credit cards. The most common types of credit cards used in Turkey are Visa, Master Card, and American Express. For more information, kindly check this comprehensive guide

Turkey offers a fantastic range of accommodations to suit every traveler and budget. You'll find everything from world-class luxury hotels by international chains to charming local boutique hotels and simple hostels. While Turkey uses its own 5-star rating system, which differs from some international standards, you can be assured of excellent quality, from opulent resorts to comfortable and authentic local stays.

The same as many hotels all around the globe, the check-in time in most hotels in Turkey is around midday, 12 or 1 PM. In case you arrived in the hotel late at night or in the early morning, you may have to pay for an extra night to get to your room immediately, to avoid waiting until the normal check-in time.
People of Tukey are very welcoming and well known for their tolerance and hospitality with their homeland guests; however, it is always a sense of etiquette to ask permission before taking a photograph of people, especially women, and stores or products. Photography is prohibited around army bases, airports, dams, and bridges. If you happen to be in a place where photography is prohibited, you will sure find signs to notify you genetly.

While you can absolutely get by with English in Turkey's main tourist spots, learning even a few basic Turkish phrases will make your trip much richer. Simple greetings and "thank you" go a long way in showing respect and connecting with the famously friendly locals. If you're venturing off the beaten path, knowing some key terms becomes even more helpful, but rest assured that Turks are wonderfully patient and welcoming, regardless of the language barrier.

Yes, it is possible to extend a tourist visa in Turkey, but the process requires planning. You must apply in writing at a local police station within 15 days of arrival, providing your passport, photos, and a reason for the extension. While approval is typically granted, the process can be time-consuming. If approved, you must check back with the same station before departure for clearance, ensuring a smooth exit from the country.

Yes, tipping is a customary and appreciated way to show satisfaction for good service in Turkey, as many tourism professionals rely on gratuities for a portion of their income. While it is a gracious gesture and a part of the local travel culture, it remains entirely voluntary and at your discretion based on the service you receive.

Yes, non-Muslim visitors are warmly welcomed to visit most mosques and religious monuments in Turkey as a sign of cultural respect and curiosity. To ensure a smooth visit, it's best to plan around the five daily prayer times, the midday congregational prayer on Fridays, and any special religious festivals. We always recommend checking specific visiting hours with your guide or online before you go.

Yes, there is a modest dress code to respectfully visit a mosque in Turkey. For both men and women, clothing should cover shoulders and knees. Women are also highly advised to cover their heads with a scarf, which is often available at the entrance. Everyone must remove their shoes before entering the prayer hall.

Yes, you are generally welcome to visit churches and monasteries in Turkey. Similar to visiting mosques, it's important to dress modestly (covering shoulders and knees) as a sign of respect. It's also best to avoid visiting during major services, especially throughout the Lenten season.

Turkey features a large number of mosques with historical and heritage value. The most significant mosques you would never miss when visiting Turkey, Hagia Sophia Mosque, suleymaniye mosque, Istanbul, Amasya -Sultan Bayezıd II. Mosque Complex or The Blue Mosque of Sultan Ahmed, Eyup sultan mosque, Istanbul, The Green Mosque of Bursa, Divriği Great Mosque and Hospital, and more. Tourists are welcome in all of these mosques on any day, except Friday.

Hence Turkey bears a huge credit of religious heritage built over the decades and eras passed with several cultures and civilizations from the Christian heritage you can visit:

- St. Paul’s Church Turkey 

- The church of st john Ephesus

- The Basilica of St. John

- Church of Saint Pierre.

- Additionally, Eshab Kehf Cave of the Seven Sleepers

- Pamukkale Hierapolis ancient city

- Antalya st Nicholas kilisesi Church

- İsparta St Pauls Basilica ( Yalvaç ) 

- Hatay - St. Peters Grotto (Antakya) and Hatay

- Cradle of the Saints.

Through our tailored online service, our expert advisors help you design your perfect journey based on your budget and schedule. While we have set group tours, we also offer full customization for private groups of 20 or more—please contact us for the details and conditions to make it your own.

Most of the monuments, historical sites, and museums in Turkey open from 9 AM until 6 PM. During Ramadan, the holy month of the Islamic calendar, be aware that these hours will change significantly.
Turkey is a midden country between Asia and Europe; thus, the weather combines the coolness of Europe and humidity of Asia, resulting in an amazing weather. Generally, We recommend you get a light sweater, blazer, jeans and pants, skirts, dresses, pajamas, leggings, sandals, sneakers, flip-flops, and swimsuit.
Turkey has noticeable climates and microclimates due to the different exposure of slopes and coasts. The climate is mild in general, however, its colder at the black sea coast than that of the Mediterranean Cold, snowy winters since October to March and hot dry summers from July to September are there.

Turkey is where continents and centuries dramatically collide, offering the perfect blend of ancient grandeur and modern thrill. Summers blaze with endless adventure—trekking through history, climbing rugged peaks, sailing the turquoise coast, and diving into vibrant underwater worlds. When winter's chill descends, the landscape transforms into a pristine playground for skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts, proving that Turkey's magic is a year-round spectacle waiting to be discovered.

The official currency of the Republic of Turkey is the Turkish lira. The Turkish Lira is divided into sub-units called kuruş. Paper currency comes in 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 TL money notes, and metal currency comes in 5, 10, 25, and 50 kuruş and 1 Lira. Read more about Turkish Currency here

 

Yes, your U.S. Dollars and Euros are welcome at many major hotels, restaurants, and shops, but to truly unlock Turkey's best value—from vibrant bazaars to charming cafes—keep the current Turkish Lira (TL) exchange rate in your pocket as your most useful travel accessory.

English is the most spoken foreign language everywhere in Turkey. You should have no problem meeting people who can speak English and help you get around in all the big cities, shopping malls, restaurants and holiday resorts. Fewer Turkish can speak Italian, Spanish, and German; however, professionals in the tourism sector are accustomed to visitors who cannot speak Turkish. They speak enough English and many other languages to fulfill the needs of most travelers.

Memphis Tours designs journeys for every type of traveler to Turkey and Greece. Whether you're drawn to the social energy of Turkey Group Tours, the focused escape of an Istanbul and Cappadocia package, or the customized luxury of Turkey Private Tours and Short Breaks, they have a sophisticated option to bring your travel aspirations to life.

Yes, you can combine Turkey with Greece or Egypt into a single grand tour. These expertly crafted multi-country itineraries let you savor the iconic contrasts—from Greek flavors and Turkish delights to the Ottoman splendors of Istanbul and the timeless pyramids of Egypt—all in one seamless, unforgettable journey.

1- Prioritize Iconic & Unique Experiences

Focus on what Turkey does best: soar over Cappadocia's landscape in a hot air balloon at sunrise, and sail the Turquoise Coast on a traditional gulet boat. Check more Things to Do in Turkey

2- Structure a Balanced Itinerary

Don't cram. For a 10-14-day trip, combine 3-4 days in Istanbul, 2-3 days in Cappadocia, and 3-4 days along the Aegean (for history) or Mediterranean coast (for beaches).

3- Go Beyond the Major Cities

Allocate time for less-crowded wonders like the terraced pools of Pamukkale, the ancient ruins of Ephesus, or the mysterious stone heads at Mount Nemrut.

4- Engage with Local Culture

Move beyond sightseeing: take a Turkish cooking class, experience a traditional hammam (bath), or stay in a cave hotel in Cappadocia.

 5- Eat Like a Local

Venture beyond tourist menus. Have a full Turkish breakfast, try balık ekmek (fish sandwich) by the water, and sip tea with locals.

6- Use Passes & Book Ahead

In Istanbul, buy a Museum Pass to skip lines at major sites. For popular activities, book hot air balloons, inter-city flights, and gulet cruises months in advance.

7- Respect Cultural Timing

Note that major mosques near visitors close during the five daily prayers, typically for 30-90 minutes. Plan visits around these times.

8- Optimize Long-Distance Travel

For long-distance travel (e.g., Istanbul to Cappadocia), use efficient domestic flights. For scenic routes along the coast, consider a rental car.
