We have also started delivering high quality wholesale business to retail travel agents. So now, wherever you are in Australia, it is possible to access Fairy Chimneys Travel tours. Another 2012 initiative has been was the launch of our very own land tour operation in Turkey.

Our 2013-14 tour booklet has just been launched, so expect another rich and delightful edi-tion this year. There was such positive feedback about the last Fairy Chimneys Travel tour directory … some people even said it’s the best travel brochure they have seen! 2013 looks like turning into another year of initiatives. Just to name a few: our online airfare facility will upgrade to extreme service level with a promise of the cheapest fares online! That’s right … if you’re internet savvy and love a bargain, make sure to bookmark our online fare finder. In February and March, we’ll be at travel shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. So don’t forget to drop in and say hi, meet the team and get some free expert travel advice. Of course, we wouldn’t miss Turkish Day at Victoria Market in Melbourne either. Overall, 2012 has been a great year. The team has very much enjoyed helping all ourclients with travel experiences. My team and I look forward to sharing more world travel experiences in 2013.

In most cases, all your airport transfers will be included, re-gardless of the date of arrival or departure. We use private vehicles ensuring that you get to your destination as smoothly as possible. If you purchased a business class or first class air travel from us, we will also pick you from your home in Austra-lia and greet you when you get back. Some airlines already of-fer this as complimentary, we offer this for all airlines!

AUTHENTIC ACCOMMODATION

Luxury Cave Suites with spa and Turkish Bath – all part of the experience We use authentic accommoda-tion, boutique hotels in great locations. All with private ame-nities to about 4 star standard. In most cases, we use the privately owned, small hotels where the owners share their experience and tips with you over breakfast or dinner. We will get you up close to the lo-cal people and amongst the rich cultures. Most of the properties are ancient buildings, caves of a few thousand years or the mansion of an Ottoman Pasha. All nicely and delicately run as boutique style hotels.

SMALL GROUP SIZE

Travelling in small groups pro-vides a more authentic and re-warding experience. Our spe-cial interest tours are all small groups no more than 15 fellow travelers. Some of our escorted tours are maximum 10, and some are maximum 20 guests.

24/7 CONTACT SUPPORT WHILST TOURING

It is the personal contact that matters. We know how hard it is to speak to a real person nowa-days, and if you are in a dif-ferent country, a different time zone it makes it even harder to get answers. We run our very own tour operation in Turkey, Authentic Holidays and provide you with a 24/7 Contact Number in Turkey, no matter what time of the day, wherever you are, we are only a phone call away. All our tour leaders, tour guides and drivers are our own con-tractors. That’s piece of mind!

EXPERT TOUR LEADERS AND GUIDES

It is the small details that make the difference. Our tour lead-ers are experts and have well researched their topics. All our special interest tours are ac-companied by an expert tour leader and a local tour guide. Some of our tours guides have been with us over 10 years! They are highly trained, speak excellent English and have strong connections with local communities and their guests. That means wherever you trav-el, they will add great value to your travel experience and make it a memorable one.

MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED

One would call Turkey an open air museum, a melting pot or speak to your travel consul-tant for details. There are lots to see. We carelfully select the major highlights and include them in your tour. There will also be time to relax and enjoy your own company. Simply dis-cuss your travel style with your travel consultant and the rest is our job.

FLEXIBILITY

We are very flexible, we travel too. We will try and accommo-date your special needs wher-ever possible. We understand that not all parts of your travel plan require assistance, so we are happy to work with you and assist you where there is a gap. Although we are a full service travel business and can assist you with flights, transfers, trav-el insurance, you may simply need that transfer or the hot air ballooning.

It has been a water-way of great importance since ancient times. The English name is derived from Greek legend:?Zeus had an affair with a beautiful women, named Io. When Hera, his wife, discovered his infidelity, she turned Io into a cow and created a horsefly to sting her on the rump. Io jumped clear across the strait. Thus bous = cow, and poros = crossing-place: Bosphorus = ‘crossing-place of the cow.’

Istanbul, historically known as Byzantium and Constantinople, is the largest city of Turkey and is located in north-western Turkey (within the Marmara Region). During its long history, Istanbul has served as the capital of the Roman Empire (330-395), the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395-1204 and 1261-1453), the Latin Empire (1204-1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453-1922). Istanbul was one of the major centres of the Art Nouveau movement in the late-19th and early-20th centuries, with renowned architects in this style building palaces and mansions across the city, reflecting the various peoples and empires that have ruled its predecessors. Overnight in Istanbul.IstanbulDay 2 Sunday 19 April, 2015 breakfast, lunch & dinnerA full day tour to explore exciting Istanbul with your guide.

When Hera, his wife, discovered his infidelity, she turned Io into a cow and created a horsefly to sting her on the rump. Io jumped clear across the strait.

QUICK NOTES ON TURKEY

Istanbul, Canakkale (Gallipoli & Troy), Izmir (Ephesus), Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye, Antalya, Konya, Cappadocia, Ankara, Bursa, Pamukkale, Safranbolu, Mt Nemrut, Van.

Turkey’s size and the diversity of land-scapes means that weather conditions differ widely according to both season and geographical location.

In general, coastal areas enjoy temper-ate climates while the inland Anatolian plateau has hot summers and bitterly cold winters.

Istanbul has a European climate with cold, wet winters and warm summers. The best time to visit would be during the summer months May-Oct.

Split into two sections by the Marmara Sea and the Dardanelle and Bospho-rus Straits, Turkey bridges Europe and Asia, stretching from the Balkans to the Caucasus and the Middle East and boasts a wide range of landscapes and climates. European Turkey shares borders with Greece and Bulgaria, while 1500km to the east, Asian Turkey shares borders with Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq and Syria.

In summer everywhere in Turkey is hot and sunshine is guaranteed, which to-gether with its extensive beaches on its Aegean and Mediterranean coasts has proved the main draw for tourists. However winters can be extremely cold.Turkey’s mountainous East is the only region that experiences genuinely low winter temperatures, when the mercury can fall to -40°C and lower. With heavy annual snowfall the highland regions boast a number of world-class ski resorts. Turkey has a young and fast growing population of 75 million.

Visas & Passports Visa requirements for entering Turkey vary substantially according to nationality. All travelers need a passport valid for at least six months.Citizens of the Australia and New Zealand require a visa, obtained at the point of entry into Turkey (not in advance from consulates). The current cost is 60USD or 45EUR, paid in cash. Your passport will be stamped with a mul-tiple‐entry tourist visa, valid for three months.

Witnessing a festival or holiday will give you an insight into the joyous and hospi-table nature the Turkish people.

Religious holidays are linked to the lunar calendar and move back 11 or 12 days each year. Secular festivals also move to coincide with weekends and precise dates can change annually.

During these major holidays, shops and businesses are closed, though local shops will usually reopen on the second or third day.
