We recommend traveling light (1 checked-in bag per person and 1 carry on). You will be traveling between cities and it is always convenient when you have limited luggage with you.

Electricity
All appliances need a double round pin type plug for 220 volts AC, 50-hertz.

Whilst there are no mandatory vaccinations for travellers to Turkey it is advisable to ensure typhoid, polio and tetanus inoculations are up to date. Some travellers feel more confident with hepatitis A and B and meningitis inoculations as well. Also carry Mosquitto repellant spray for travel during the summer.

Bottled water is readily available throughout your tour and we recommend that you purchase this rather than drink the local tap water.

It is advisable to carry some Imodium with you in case you get an upset stomach from the difference in cuisine... just in case.

It is often difficult to find the precise medication that is available in one's home country and for this reason we recommend that you carry all current medication with you.

A mixture of cash and credit cards are the best forms of currency. Credit cards are also accepted in most of the restaurants, bars and pubs. MasterCard and Visa are most welcomed; American Express cards work at some ATMs and Amex offices.

It is much cheaper to convert money to Turkish Lira in Turkey than at home. Using an ATM or a credit card will often get you the best possible exchange rates; the post and telephone office (PTT) and banks offer very reasonable rates too.

You'll find you won't have much of a problem with the language barrier. English is well communicated by many Turks

Hand made Turkish carpets are world famous and can vary from a few pounds to thousands of pounds depending mostly on quality and a little on size. But be careful; together with hand-made, naturally dyed and natural fibre (cotton, wool and silk) carpets, there are fake machine made carpets made with chemical dyes and synthetic fibres. Istanbul has the widest range of carpets, however, expect to pay more than areas such as Cappadocia and Kusadasi.

Turkey is also famous for its high quality and great value gold, silver and leather.

You can start your day with a delicious 'Turkish breakfast'; Turkish bread, white cheese, tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, boiled egg, jam or honey and of course Turkish tea. Alternatively, try the Menemen, which is scrambled eggs with peppers, onion, tomato and if you're lucky salami. At most of the hotels, you will be served a 'buffet breakfast' with a wide variety of foods.

There are two types of restaurants in Turkey; restaurants which have a-la-carte menu with food on display that will be cooked for you and 'ready meal' restaurants which have a range of previously prepared dishes in warming trays for you to choose. The beauty of 'ready meal' restaurants is that you can try a wide range of small dishes for a relatively cheap price.

During your tour, we will give lunch breaks at such type of restaurants to save your money and time. In more salubrious restaurants you can order 'mezes' (appetizers) where a bewildering array of dishes is available. These are small dishes ranging from stuffed vegetables and tightly rolled cheese pastries to pickled vegetables, courgettes and aubergines in their many guises. Vegetarians are especially catered for in mezes, which usually come with a range of purees and vinaigrettes.

Main dishes are generally on display; you choose and the meat or fish is taken away to be prepared. Fish is usually charged by the weight. Shish and doner kebabs are served everywhere but perhaps better still are Adana kebabs - spicy (not by Thai standards!) minced meat with a sprinkling of the purple sumac herb.

Do not forget to save room for dessert, which is almost always sweet! Highlights include 'baklava' (a flaky, sweet nut pastry, usually with pistachio), 'kadayif' (shredded pasty dough filled with nuts and drenched in syrup), 'tavukgogsu' (a creamy sweet made of pulverised chicken fibres), and 'helva' (sesame paste).

You will find a wide variety of alcoholic drinks in Turkey, we suggest you don't try them all in one night! Beer (bira) is ever popular. Efes, Pilsen and Tuborg are the leading brands, which are very refreshing in the summer. They are sold in bottles, cans and drought. Establishments often have an agreement with only one brewery and therefore will only sell one brand. Wine is grown in areas as diverse as Thrace and Cappadocia. The best domestic white wines are 'Cankaya', 'Villa Doluca', and 'Kavaklidere', made in Cappadocia, while 'Yakut' and 'Kavalikdere' produce the finest red. 'Raki', the national aperitif served with ice and water which turns the clear spirit cloudy, is a very warming drink although you may find it a bit rough at first - persevere. Domestically produced gin, vodka and brandy are also available in most of the bars, pubs, and restaurants.

A basic lunch and dinner (main meal + salad) in a local restaurant will cost you between $12 to $20; a soft drink about $2.
