VISA & PASSPORT

Regular Passport                      ✅                Visa required
Green Passport                          ❌              Visa not required
Service Passport                  ❌                Visa not required   

You must have a passport valid for 6 months from the date the trip ends and not older than 10 years.

For destinations requiring a visa, the visa application must be submitted with the documents specified in the “Documents Required for Visa” list that your agency will provide for you. In order to avoid problems with customs police at the border crossing of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet and/or similarly damaged passports, such passports must be renewed, and if it is a country that applies visas to T.C. citizens, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger. Since there is a possibility that our guests under 18 traveling alone or with only one parent may be asked by the police officer at the country entry/exit for a document showing the mutual consent of the parents, we recommend that our guests under 18 and their parents be attentive on this matter.

CURRENCY
The currency used in European countries is the Euro. We recommend that you carry small amounts of Euro with you.

TIME ZONE
Europe is 1 hour behind Turkey during daylight saving time and 2 hours behind during winter time.
For example, when it is 18:30 in Turkey in summer, it is 17:30 in Europe.

FOOD CULTURE
In addition to European cuisine, there are very special options you can experience, even if the shared culinary cultures of 3 different countries are not very close to ours. For example, Moules-Frites (Mussels and Fries), considered Belgium’s national dish, or Beef Stew cooked with beer (Carbonnade Flamande). Along with menus created with Holland’s famous cheeses, they also have many varieties such as raw herring (Haring) and France’s croissant varieties, Ratatouille, crepes, and Escargot (snail).

ELECTRICAL OUTLETS
The electrical outlets are the same as in Turkey.

SHOPPING
There are shopping malls in city centers and opportunities to shop from small stalls selling souvenirs.

HEALTH
We do not think you will encounter any health issues that could threaten your well-being with meals taken at good restaurants and hotels in the region. However, when you are not with the group, we recommend being careful about food and drink, definitely consuming bottled water, avoiding ice, milk and dairy products, eating meat and fish products that you are sure are well cooked, and for fruit, eating fruits that can be peeled, such as bananas and pineapples.

We strongly recommend that you obtain a report and invoice from the healthcare facility where you receive treatment in case of health problems or injuries that may occur for reasons beyond your control. This will be beneficial if you need it for insurance-related procedures.

PAYMENT METHOD
*You may make your payments in cash up to the amount permitted by law or by bank transfer through the banks clearly specified on our website, and if necessary, you may also make them by credit card.

*If payments are made during tour registration, whichever currency and amount they were made in; in case of cancellation/refund, the refund is made in the same currency and amounts.
