Turquie : When to go ?

Everything in Turkey is the result of fabulous churning. In Central Anatolia, we cross the steppes interspersed with green canyons. In the north, the lush Mountains of the Black Sea are home to fabulous monasteries like that of Sumela. Surrounded by 8 000 kilometres of coastline bathed by four seas, Turkey offers all the pleasures of the beach by visiting the numerous remains of the great ancient Mediterranean cities. Let us not forget the fascinating Cappadocia where volcanoes poured the contents of the belly of our planet so that water and wind sculpt a unique work. It is also in Turkey that you find the famous Trojan, the great city of Ephesus and Mount Ararat on which Noah's Ark would fail... All types of travel can be made in Turkey: individual, adventure, hiking, trek, tour tour, beach... That's why it makes sense to call on a local agency to organise you a tailor-made stay according to your tastes and budget, of course authenticity will be everywhere, because these are premises that will organize this trip live with you.The high tourist season in Turkey starts at the end of June and ends in August. That's why it is more pleasant to travel in May or September to October, where the climate is still very good and the prices soft. The low tourist season corresponds to the winter in Turkey. Many Turkish tourists also travel inside the country at the time of bayrams. At that time prices are increasing very often and long-term transport bookings are needed.

Turquie : Go with a local agency

Ten thousand years of historyTurkey is a crossroads of prestigious civilizations. It offers countless historical treasures to begin with prehistoric remains, then the many Hellenistic and Roman sites, not forgetting bursa builders... A few days in Turkey, you can cross over 10 000 years of history. By choosing to make a tailor-made stay organised by a local agency, you can discover most of this impressive Turkish heritage.Exceptional hospitalityHospitality is one of the foundations of the Turkish way of life. In Turkey, the traveller is never a tourist, it is a misafir, "a guest", "a host". The only inconvenience that the foreign traveller might have is not to refuse what is so gently offered. Accepting coffee, tea or fruit will be the best of many thanks.A wide variety of landscapesBetween dream waters (7 000 km of coastline border the country), arid or very green campaigns, mountains, lakes or natural riches (Cappadocia, Pamukkale or Ölüdeniz Bay), Turkey offers a variety of surprising landscapes and allows for increased activities. If you organise your trip to Turkey with a local agency, you will be able to establish a programme of activities in line with your tastes.A destination shoppingWhoever loves shopping will be in Turkey like a Fish in the water. There are no the, but bazaars. The bazaar is as good as fruit and vegetables, as well as clothing, household equipment or typical objects.Turkey is a country where there are literally two worlds. One offers prices almost close to ours, or even higher depending on the areas. It is that of an easy minority and it is felt in particular in the major cities such as Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Antalya, not forgetting the fashionable seaside centres attractive to the high society: Bodrum, Çe?me, Marmaris, etc. The other is addressed to the large majority concerned with salaries that rotate, on average, around 1 500 TL, which is not very much when we know that a basic rent in a large city is about 1000 TL (SMIC: about 800 TL!). This is naturally a daily occurrence. To give an anecdotal and revealing example: you can drink 0,50 TL or 5 TL a little further.FormalitésNo visas needed for tourists from member countries of the European Union. A valid identity card or passport (at least six months from the date of entry into Turkey) is sufficient for a stay of less than 90 days. For Quebecers, a visa is required and can be obtained in two ways: at the Turkish consulate of Montreal (at least three weeks before departure) or arriving at the airport at the visa office. The second option is the simplest and most advantageous, less expensive, and the passport is stamped in one minute before the last checkpoint.
