## Tour Detail

PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENT
This tour is organized with a minimum participation requirement of 30 people. If sufficient participation is not achieved, the latest cancellation notification date is 20 days before the start of the tour. A 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
Your passport must be valid for 6 months from the end date of the trip and must not be more than 10 years old.
For destinations requiring a visa, the visa application must be submitted with the documents specified in the “Documents Required for Visa” list to be provided to you by your agency. In order to avoid problems with customs police at the border gate of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet and/or otherwise damaged passports; such passports must be renewed, and if the country applies visas to citizens of the Republic of Türkiye, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger. Since guests under the age of 18 traveling alone or accompanied by only one of their parents may be asked by police officers at entry and exit points to present a document showing the joint consent of both parents; we recommend that our guests under the age of 18 and their parents pay particular attention to this matter.
*Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for a destination/passport requiring a visa) does not mean that entry into the country is guaranteed. Passport control officers have the authority to refuse you entry into the country. Our agency is not responsible for this situation; responsibility belongs to the passenger.
* As of April 10, 2026, within the scope of the European Entry/Exit System (EES), which came into effect in European Union countries, passport control procedures at border crossings are carried out by collecting biometric data (fingerprints and facial recognition).
Due to this practice, situations such as congestion, long waiting times, system delays or the inability to read biometric data may occur at airports and border gates.
These processes are entirely under the control of the relevant country’s border security units, and our agency has no authority to intervene. Therefore, our agency cannot be held responsible for delays, waiting times or any resulting disruptions to the program.
It is strongly recommended that our guests ensure their passports are physically suitable, that there are no conditions that could prevent biometric data collection (cuts, wounds, excessive cream, etc.), and that they allow sufficient time for border procedures.
“This practice is an international security procedure, and all guests who purchase the tour are deemed to have accepted this process.”
HEALTH
We do not expect you to encounter any health-threatening problems with the meals served at the region’s good restaurants and hotels. Nevertheless, we recommend that you be careful about eating and drinking when you are not with the group, consume only bottled water, avoid ice, milk and dairy products, consume meat and fish products that you are sure have been thoroughly cooked, and choose fruits such as bananas and pineapples that can be peeled.
