MEET TURKEY

Historic cities, striking landscapes and coast.

Start with Istanbul’s layers of history, then choose a second region for a slower stay. Cappadocia, Aegean heritage sites and the coast offer very different trips; they do not need to fit into a single short holiday.

WHEN WILL YOU GO?

Same country.
Four different moods.

These are broad seasonal patterns, not a forecast. The coast, mountains and far north can feel very different on the same date.

The map button highlights sample places only. It does not draw or calculate a route. Day counts are suggested pacing, with transport, tickets and accommodation arranged separately.

BEFORE YOU GO

Arrival made clearer.

Official services, the right order, and a little preparation. Requirements depend on your passport, residence, route and purpose of travel.

VISA ELIGIBILITY CHECK

Türkiye e-Visa, where applicable

Visa requirements depend on your passport and travel conditions. An e-Visa is a visa application, not an arrival declaration. Check the Ministry guidance before starting.

How to prepare · 4 steps
  1. Check your nationality and travel-document eligibility in the official visa guidance.
  2. If an e-Visa is needed and you qualify, enter your travel-document type and intended arrival date on the official service.
  3. Read all eligibility conditions, enter matching passport details and verify your email.
  4. Follow the official payment step where applicable, then download and retain the issued e-Visa.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

A few useful answers.

What can I try for free?

Explore 10 Turkey places, open place cards and Google Maps links, switch place-card language, and keep favourites in this browser. Map-file downloads are not included in the free preview.

Can I buy the full collection today?

Not yet. “Buy now” currently opens a clearly marked test checkout. No money or payment details are collected, and no order is created.

Will the maps work offline or give directions?

The planned KML/KMZ files contain place information; they do not include offline background maps or turn-by-turn navigation. Supported apps and import instructions will be confirmed for the paid release.

How should I use the location information?

Each free card shows its review status. These new map records still need place-specific source checks. Check current access, weather and opening conditions before travelling. A place pin is not always a verified parking or visitor entrance.
