Nein, US-Bürger benötigen kein Visum für touristische Aufenthalte von bis zu 90 Tagen. Sie benötigen nur einen US-Reisepass, der mindestens sechs Monate ab Ihrem Einreisedatum gültig ist. Es gibt keine Formulare, Gebühren oder Vorausanmeldungen.

Turkish Airlines fliegt täglich nonstop nach Istanbul von 13 US-Städten: New York JFK, Newark, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Boston, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington DC und Detroit. Der Flug dauert je nach Abflugstadt etwa 10-13 Stunden. Von New York JFK startet Flug TK2 um 20:00 Uhr und landet am nächsten Morgen in Istanbul; der Rückflug TK1 startet um 15:10 Uhr in Istanbul. Wenn Sie von einer anderen US-Stadt fliegen, helfen wir Ihnen gerne, die Tour von dort aus zu organisieren.

No, the balloon ride is an optional add-on and is not part of the base package, but we recommend it. At sunrise you drift over the fairy chimneys with around 100 other balloons, and many guests say it was the highlight of their trip. Tell us when you book and we reserve it for you in advance. Flights sell out quickly in peak season, so early booking is essential.

You can message us on WhatsApp before booking. We go through the full programme with you, answer your questions and confirm the details before you commit. Once you book, your dedicated travel assistant contacts you straight away, and within 24 hours you receive all hotel confirmations, domestic flight details, pick-up times and your day-by-day itinerary as a PDF. You can still adjust the programme, for example with extra nights, a balloon ride, different hotels or a slower pace. We stay in touch on WhatsApp from booking until you are back home.

Yes. You may want more time in Istanbul, or to add the Antalya coast, Bodrum, Gallipoli or a gulet cruise; you may prefer 5-star hotels or a slower pace with more free time. Tell us your destinations, dates, budget, travel style and group size, and your travel assistant will build a personal itinerary from scratch. Contact us on WhatsApp and you will receive a custom proposal within 24 hours.
