The group will meet at the group hotel in Mustafapasa, Cappadocia.

A single transfer from Kayseri Airport to the group hotel is provided in the late afternoon of Day 1 of the Land Only itinerary.

On the last day of the Land Only itinerary, there will be a single transfer back to Kayseri Airport timed for the check in of the afternoon flight to London.

Anyone may join the group transfers by prior arrangement. Travelling as a group or on public transport saves energy. If this is not practical, we can provide private transfers at an additional cost.

Hotel contact details and an emergency number will be provided with your booking confirmation.

All meals are included from dinner on Day 1 to breakfast on Day 8.

Many places on this holiday have drinkable water from the tap to fill your personal water bottles. Please check with the leader at the various locations. Please take purification tablets or a filter bottle (such as a Water-To-Go bottle) for days when drinking water out of the tap is not available. We do not encourage the purchasing of single use plastic bottles.

Turkish cuisine is world renowned for its variety, colour and fresh produce. Breakfast options might include cereals, fruits, bread, preserves, eggs, salami, feta, olives, melon, dried fruit and nuts, tea and coffee. Lunches will be either picnic style with bread sticks and a variety of meats, cheeses, tomatoes and cucumber, or in a local restaurant. Dinner options in hotels and local restaurants range from simple grilled meats to elaborately baked fish and meat casseroles, and some excellent Turkish dishes. There are also plenty of delicious vegetarian options. If you are vegetarian or have any special dietary requirements please inform us on booking.

Whilst we can cater for vegetarians, albeit sometimes with a more limited choice, we cannot always provide special diets.  Due to the nature of some of the trips that we operate and the countries in which we operate them, it can be very hard (and sometimes impossible) to cater for a wide range of dietary choices and you may have to supplement your diet with food/snacks from home.  If you have specific dietary requirements please do speak to our sales team and they will be able to advise you whether or not we will be able to offer your specific choice.  Please note that we are unable to provide separate menus and cannot accept liability for any problems arising from special dietary requirements or intolerances.

We have 4 nights in a hotel in the Cappadocia area of Mustafapasa/Goreme. The hotel has a few cave rooms and some standard rooms which are stone built in the old Greek/Ottoman style with wooden ceilings. All rooms are en suite. It is a warm and friendly establishment. There are triple and family rooms available. When we are in the mountains we have 3 nights at a simple local village guesthouse. Here there are double/twin, triple and quadruple rooms. These rooms have a private toilet and shower. There is one communal seating and dining area, and plenty of outdoor space with picnic benches in between the apple trees with mountain views.

All accommodation is subject to availability. All accommodation is arranged on a twin sharing basis or in a family room. If you are planning on extending your holiday additional nights at the group hotel are available on request.

The group will be led by a professional and qualified tour leader.

Approximately £250 per family of 4 (or equivalent in US dollars or Euros) should be allowed for tips, soft drinks, snacks and miscellaneous expenses. Alcoholic drinks, souvenirs and optional activities are additional so you may wish to budget for these. You can choose to take your money in pounds sterling, dollars or euros. There will be the opportunity to change money into local currency on arrival at the airport and your local leader will advise the best places to change money en-route. Additionally, you will be able to get currency from bank ATMs in the town. Credit cards are useful and it is a good idea to carry one in case of emergency.

OPTIONAL ACTIVITY COSTS:

Please note that these prices are correct at time of writing, but are subject to change without warning. Optional activities taken outside the KE holiday are at your own risk.

• Horse-riding: £45 per person (no child discount)
• Turkish Bath visit: £9-£20+ depending on massage

Tipping is the accepted way of saying ‘thank you’ to your leader and local team. Tipping is entirely voluntary and should be dependent on good service. We recommend a minimum of £10 per day per group, and that give any tips as a group rather than from individual group members.

For this holiday you should take one piece of luggage and a daypack. Luggage with wheels is useful for this holiday. For international flights please check your baggage allowance with your airline.

For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in ‘Dates and Prices’ table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status and so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.
