Turkey
Where East meets West — ancient ruins, turquoise coasts, and culinary treasures.
Turkey straddles two continents and countless centuries of history. Istanbul's grand bazaars and Ottoman mosques sit alongside the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia and the turquoise riviera of Antalya. Turkish hospitality is legendary, the cuisine is among the world's finest, and the value for money is outstanding. From hot-air balloon rides to ancient amphitheatres, Turkey is endlessly surprising.

Turkey Travel FAQs
Common questions about visiting Turkey — answered by our travel team.
Do I need a visa for Turkey?
Yes — UK nationals need an e-Visa, which can be obtained online at evisa.gov.tr before travel. It costs approximately US$35 and is valid for multiple entries over 180 days, with stays up to 90 days.
Can I combine Istanbul with the coast in one trip?
Absolutely. A popular itinerary pairs 3-4 days in Istanbul with a week on the Turquoise Coast (Antalya, Fethiye, or Bodrum). Domestic flights are frequent and affordable.
Is Turkey good value compared to other Mediterranean destinations?
Turkey offers exceptional value. Five-star all-inclusive resorts in Antalya, for example, are significantly more affordable than comparable properties in Spain or Greece, without compromising on quality.
Is Turkey safe for tourists?
Major tourist areas — Istanbul, Antalya, Cappadocia, the Aegean coast — are generally safe and well-policed. As with any destination, check the latest FCDO travel advice before departure.
