Mediterranean Dream Tour from Antalya: Southern France & Spain

PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENT

This tour is organized with a minimum participation requirement of 30 people. In case sufficient participation is not achieved, the final 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

You must have a passport valid for 6 months from the end date of the trip and issued within the last 10 years.
For destinations requiring a visa, the visa application must be submitted with the documents specified in the “Documents Required for a Visa” list that your agency will provide to you. 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 the country applies visa requirements 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 with only one of their parents may be asked by police officers at country entry and exit points to provide 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 visa-required destination/passport) does not mean that entry into the country is guaranteed. Passport control officers have the authority to refuse you entry to 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 force in European Union countries, passport control procedures at border crossings are carried out by collecting biometric data (fingerprints and facial recognition).
Due to this application, situations such as congestion, long waiting times, system delays or biometric data not being readable may occur at airports and border gates.
These processes are entirely under the control of the border security authorities of the relevant country, 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 itinerary.
We strongly recommend that our guests ensure that their passports are physically suitable, that there are no conditions that could prevent biometric data collection (cuts, wounds, heavy cream, etc.), and that they allow sufficient time for border procedures.
 “This procedure is an international security protocol, and all guests purchasing the tour are deemed to have accepted this process.”

HEALTH

We do not expect you to encounter any health-threatening problems with meals served at good restaurants and hotels in the region. 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.
In case of health problems or injuries that may occur for reasons beyond your control, we strongly recommend that you obtain a medical report and invoice from the healthcare units where you receive treatment. These will be useful if needed for insurance procedures.

CUISINE:

The Mediterranean cuisine of Spain and France stands out with its light and delicious dishes prepared with olive oil, fresh seafood, vegetables and aromatic herbs. Spain’s traditional flavors such as tapas, paella and ham, together with the Mediterranean delicacies, cheeses and quality wines unique to France’s Provence region, reflect the rich culinary culture of the region. In coastal cities, fresh fish and seafood are an indispensable part of daily life.

IMPORTANT NOTES
*Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for a visa-required destination/passport) does not mean that entry into the country is guaranteed. Passport control officers have the authority to refuse you entry to the country. Varivas Tur is not responsible for this situation; responsibility belongs to the passenger.
*Children between 0 and 2 years of age do not pay airport taxes or airport service fees.
*The panoramic city tours included in the tour package are tours lasting no more than 2–3 hours, organized for a general introduction to the cities and conducted panoramically from inside the vehicle with the guide’s commentary; they do not include museum or archaeological site admissions.
*Including the other tours specified in the program, if the relevant tours cannot be carried out because local authorities do not permit visits or entry on the day and at the time corresponding to the tour, because roads are closed due to an event, or because of weather conditions, our agency is not responsible for their cancellation. Some tours may be conducted by public transportation or on foot, where possible, at locations with closed roads or where vehicle access is not permitted.

ABOUT AIR TICKETS & FLIGHTS
*Before the tour date, our agency will share the flight times and the reservation number information for the airline tickets. Since this is a group reservation, you can check in at the specified time and counter with only your passport, even without your ticket.
*During registration, the name as it appears on the passport, date of birth, passport number and identity number must be entered into the system. Air tickets are issued according to this information. No-show fees resulting from cancellations or changes to air tickets due to incorrect information will be charged to the guests.
*Our agency is not responsible for any losses arising from payments made to hotels and airlines in cases where you are unable to participate because you are late for the flight or fail to catch the relevant flight for reasons attributable to you.
*Our agency acts as an intermediary between the airline and the passenger. Flight times may change before departure, and all times must be confirmed 48 hours before the departure dates. If the number of participants required for the package tour is not reached, the consumer will be notified of the tour cancellation 7 days in advance. Routes may vary depending on the city where the aircraft lands.

*If your passport is lost or stolen, you should be aware that the agency representative/guide must continue the tour program as committed by the agency to the other traveling guests; therefore, you will be responsible for organizing all passport procedures, return arrangements or arrangements to rejoin the tour in the country where the loss/theft occurred. Our agency accepts no responsibility for any difficulties or problems that may arise in this regard.

*In the event of cancellation/refund, payments will be refunded in the same currency and amounts in which they were made at the time of tour registration.

TRAVEL HEALTH AND CANCELLATION PROTECTION:
*The insurance arranged by our agency for your trip provides coverage for the Professional Liability Insurance made mandatory for agencies by the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies and for travel health. Travel health coverage is valid for persons between 0 and 65 years of age. Guests over 65 must take out insurance by paying the applicable additional premium. We recommend that you always purchase Travel and Health Insurance for each trip to ensure that you are protected.
*However, it should be known that this insurance does not cover unconditional and unrestricted cancellations. In the event of force majeure, cancellations may be covered following the submission and evaluation by the relevant insurance company of reports concerning non-chronic and sudden illnesses, accidents and such adverse circumstances affecting a first-degree relative. These evaluations are carried out by the relevant health and insurance company healthcare institutions and are outside the scope of our agency’s responsibility.

For cancellations more than 30 days before departure (25 days before the tour departure date), the remaining amount will be refunded after deducting the flight ticket and non-refundable operational expenses.
