WELCOME TO
SLOVENIA Dear Clients Slovenia is one of Europe’s great, undiscovered treasures and I am delighted that we are doing our part to introduce it to a wider audience.

To make the most of your holiday I would really recommend that you look at our tailor-made and multi-centre holidays which combine the best that this beautiful country has to offer. We have a selection of two and three centre holidays combining different locations in Slovenia and also combining a stay in Slovenia with the lovely Croatian coast of the Istrian peninsula.

All of our reservations team has visited Slovenia, and will be happy to offer you friendly advice on planning your holiday, based on their own first-hand experience.

AN INTRODUCTION TO
SLOVENIA Slovenia is a hidden treasure, nestling between Croatia and Italy. It boasts a fusion of many of the region’s most desirable attributes, from stunning Alpine scenery, to grand Venetian architecture Slovenia is a largely unknown and undiscovered destination, revealing a wealth of surprises to the visitor. Her people are warm and welcoming, and as proud of their heritage as they are of their beautiful, natural landscape. Since the fall of Communist Yugoslavia, Slovenia has been an independent democracy, and joined the EU in 2004.
Natural beauty Slovenia is a relatively small country, but encompasses an astonishing diversity of terrain. Over 50% of the country is covered in forest, a verdant canopy of spruce, beech and larch, as well as the linden, with its heart-shaped leaves, which have become a symbol of the country. Slovenia has become a magnet for those wanting to get back to nature. Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj are perfect retreats for those who want to explore the natural landscape on foot or by bike. There are opportunities for rafting, canoeing, rock-climbing, fishing and wildwater swimming. Slovenia is also an enthusiastic skiing nation, and her winter sports facilities are of a very high standard. If you visit during the season, which usually lasts from December through to April, you will never be far from a ski resort. Slovenia’s mountains and National Park are home to a variety of wildlife including brown bears, ibex, wolves and lynx.
SLOVENIA
Heritage and tradition
6
Until recently, life in Slovenia revolved mostly around agriculture and the revolving seasons of the countryside. Regional folk traditions still play a significant role in Slovenian life. Each region has its own costume and local festivals. Folk music is enjoyed throughout the country, based on the accordion, pan pipes (trstenka) and the zither. Handicrafts include embroidery, lace-making and decorative painting on furniture and on the distinctive beehive panels, which can be seen throughout the country.
Alpine lakes and peaks To the north lie the Julian Alps and the Karavanke mountains, with the Triglav National Park, overlooked by the three-pronged peak of Mount Triglav. Perhaps most famous of Slovenia’s tourist attractions is the picturesque Lake Bled, with its fairytale cliff-top castle, picturesque island church and tranquil setting. Nearby, in the heart of the national park is the smaller Lake Bohinj. Both are ideal holiday spots for those who simply want to relax and recharge their batteries.
Subterranean wonders In the Karst region, subterranean rivers have carved out impressive underground cave complexes, including the country’s most popular natural attraction, the Postojna Caves, which encompass some 12 miles of tunnels, chambers and caverns, with awe-inspiring rock formations including huge stalactites and stalacmites.
Historic capital In the centre of the country, lies the charming capital city of Ljubljana, which enchants with its majestic architecture and pretty riverfront promenades. The Ljubljanica river flows through the centre of the old town, which is free of traffic. The river is lined with cafes, restaurants and bars, perfect for people-watching, and crossed by captivating pedestrian bridges. The city has a laidback Mediterranean ambience and is a great place to visit all year round. Lake Bled is only 20 minutes’ drive away, so the two destinations of Ljubljana and Lake Bled make a perfect contrasting and complementary two centre holiday.
Ljubljana
Piran
Lake Bled
Postojna Caves
It is easy and rewarding to explore this compact capital on foot, passing ornate churches and magnificent palaces, and wandering through her vast parks. Browsing in Ljubljana’s markets and boutiques is a pleasure.
Adriatic coastline
Neighbouring Portoroz also has an illustrious past, becoming popular for coastal breaks at the turn of the last century, when the Habsburgs built the grand Kempinski Palace, which is now a hotel.
“Slovenia is the perfect holiday destination, compact and diverse and offering a wealth of holiday experiences, just waiting to be discovered”

SLOVENIA SLOVENIA
Slovenia has but a short stretch of Adriatic coastline, only 30 miles long. The charming coastal town of Piran, with its pretty houses, painted in pastel colours, was once part of the Venetian Empire, and owes its ornate buildings to the wealth generated from the salt pans nearby.

Slovenia’s two best known destinations, juxtaposing the bustle of city life with the serene splendour of her lakes & mountains
This is a classic two-centre holiday, combining a few days in the entrancing Slovenian capital of Ljubljana with a stay on the coast
Ljubljana must be one of Europe’s most charming capital cities. It is packed full of Mediterranean joie de vivre, relaxed and friendly in equal measure. The old town, with its grand architecture, is completely pedestrianised, making it easy and pleasant to explore. The river Ljubljanica river runs through the centre, crossed by pedestrian bridges, each bursting with character.
Once you have explored the pretty Slovenian capital, you will be able to head to the coast and spend some time relaxing in the charming resort of Piran - or if you prefer, Portoroz or even combine this with one of the Croatia resorts on the Istrian Peninsula, please do call our friendly reservations team for a quotation.
Less than an hour’s drive away is the enchanting Lake Bled. It is a peaceful retreat, surrounded by magnificent natural beauty - imposing mountains and a breath-takingly beautiful lake Alternatively, you can choose to spend the second part of your holiday staying in Lake Bohinj or the nearby village of Bohinj Bistrica, in the heart of the Triglav National Park. Bohinj is not as well known or as popular as Lake Bled, which makes it the perfect getaway for those who really want to get back to nature. Keen walkers, cyclists and swimmers will revel in its natural, unspoiled beauty.
You will fly from the UK to Ljubljana and be transferred by car to Piran/Portoroz. En route you will drive through the beautiful Slovenian countryside and also have the opportunity to explore one of Europe’s biggest natural attractions - the magnificent caves of Postojna. These caves consist of over 12 miles of chambers and tunnels, with dazzling stalactites and stalacmites. First opened in 1819, these caves are one of Europe’s biggest natural attractions. Your tour takes place in part on a subterranean railway, and in part on foot and is an unforgettable experience. After spending the last part of your holiday relaxing in the sunshine and enjoying the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic, you will be picked up by car and taken to Ljubljana airport for your return flight home.
You will fly from the UK to Ljubljana, be transferred by car from Ljubljana to Lake Bled/Bohinj and back for your flight home. 3 nights Ljubljana, of 04 Jan be 21 added Feb 28 Mar An optional excursion to the stunningBoard PostojnaNo.Caves can 4 nights Lake Bled

Combine three days in entrancing Ljubljana with a stay on the coast in one of the beautiful resorts of Croatia’s Istrian peninsula
Take in Ljubljana, the beautiful Alpine scenery of one of Slovenia’s beautiful lakes and Rovinj on Croatia’s sparkling Istrian Peninsula
Once you have explored the pretty Slovenian capital, you will be able to head to the coast and spend some time relaxing in the charming resort of Porec. Following your stay in Ljubljana, you will be transferred by car to Croatia’s alluring northwestern peninsula, Istria. This is Croatia’s most popular region with tourists. It is not difficult to see why, when you consider its picturesque Venetian towns, staggeringly beautiful coastline and interior of medieval hillside villages set in the midst of attractive woodlands.
Slovenia may only be a small country, but it offers a wealth of experiences. It is also so close to Croatia, that it is easy to combine a stay in both countries on one holiday. Ljubljana is the perfect city break destination - charming, friendly, with plenty of history to explore, great restaurants, relaxed bars, and very easy to get around on foot. It makes the ideal introduction to Slovenia. Stay 3 nights in the hotel of your choice before being picked up by chauffeur-driven car and driven for approximately one hour to Lake Bled.
You will stay in the pretty town of Porec, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Porec occupies a peninsula on the western coast, not far from the Italian border. The town is known for its Roman ruins and spectacular Byzantine mosaics, housed in the early Christian cathedral, the Euphrasius Basilica.
It may only be a short distance, but Lake Bled feels like a world away as you swap the grand architecture of the city for the magnificent mountain vistas of the Julian Alps and the stunning Triglav National Park. Stay for 3 nights and explore the beautiful countryside, or simply enjoy the views, before being transferred to Croatia’s Istrian peninsula and the resort of Rovinj.
You will fly from the UK to Ljubljana and be transferred by car to Porec. En route you will drive through the beautiful Slovenian countryside and also have the opportunity to explore the magnificent caves of Postojna. 3 nights Ljubljana, Board No. of 04 Jan 21 Feb 28 Mar

Blend a city break with magnificent lake and mountain scenery and end with beachfront relaxation in the enchanting resort of Piran
This holiday combines the fascinating highlights of Slovenia with Croatia’s beautiful Istrian Peninsula
This holiday starts in Ljubljana, where we have an excellent choice of boutique and luxury hotels. For more details of the city and which hotels are available see pages 12-15.
The beautiful country of Slovenia is so close to Croatia, that it is easy to combine a stay in both countries on one holiday. This three centre holiday offers you the opportunity to combine a city break in Ljubljana, with a stay amongst the beautiful Alpine scenery of one of Slovenia’s beautiful lakes, finally ending your holiday in a the coastal resort of Porec on Croatia’s sparkling Istrian Peninsula.
On leaving Ljubljana you will be taken by car to Lake Bled (or Lake Bohinj), to stay amidst the beautiful Alpine scenery. The active can choose to hike, cycle or even canoe or swim in the lakes - or if you prefer, you can simply lie back and enjoy the scenery. For more information about this beautiful area, see pages 16-23.
The Istrian region of Croatia is the closest to Italy, and shares much of the same Adriatic culture. During the 20th century alone it came under five different jurisdictions - starting with the AustroHungarian Empire, then becoming Italian, German, Yugoslav and finally Croatian. Unurprisingly, it retains a cosmopolitan feel.
You will be driven from Lake Bled to Slovenia’s coast. It only runs for 27 miles or so along the Adriatic, but it is a beautiful area, rich with Venetian architecture and beloved by the Habsburg aristocracy.
Ljubljana is the perfect city break destination - charming, friendly, with plenty to explore, great restaurants, relaxed bars, and very easy to get around on foot. It makes the ideal introduction to Slovenia.
En route, you will make a visit to one of Europe’s most popular natural attractions, the magnificent Postojna Caves. These impressive caverns and tunnels run for some 12 miles under the ground, and include breath-taking stalactites and stalacmites.
Stay 3 nights in the hotel of your choice before being picked up by chauffeur-driven car and driven for approximately one hour, before you reach Lake Bled. It may only be a short distance, but it feels like a world away as you swap the grand architecture of the city for the magnificent mountain vistas of the Julian Alps and the stunning Triglav National Park. Stay for 3 nights and explore the beautiful countryside, or simply enjoy the views, before being transferred to Croatia’s Istrian peninsula and the resort of Porec.
Piran is the jewel of Slovenia’s coast. Its vast wealth was built on the salt it shipped from nearby Secovlje to Venice, and its grand Italianate buildings still remain. It is a beautiful town of narrow alleys and splendid piazzas, overlooked by the imposing St. George’s Cathedral.

LJUBLJANA A charming city bursting with magnificent architecture, Ljubljana has a laid-back Mediterranean vibe. The captivating old town, overlooked by the enchanting castle is picturesque and atmospheric The Ljubljanica river runs through the centre of Ljubljana’s old town, criss-crossed by a series of pedestrian bridges. The bridges chart Ljubljana’s rich architectural heritage, the sculptures on the art nouveau dragon bridge evoking the beast which was once said to have ruled the Ljubljana marshes. The triple bridge is perhaps one of the city’s best known landmarks, designed by the famous architect Plecnik in 1929. The most recent addition is Butchers’ bridge, opened in 2010, which is adorned by padlocks left here by romantic couples. The riverside cafes are the perfect place to watch the world go by and simply soak up the atmosphere. The old town is a pedestrian zone, making it ideal for meandering walks, exploring the narrow streets and attractive piazzas. There are some excellent restaurants serving mouthwatering local Slovenian and Mediterranean specialities. A few days in Ljubljana makes for the perfect city break. It’s small enough that you can explore it on foot without feeling overwhelmed. The river and pedestrian zone at its heart makes for an unhurried pace, ideal for unwinding and savouring the ambience and the captivating architecture.
Connections Slovenia is a compact country, which makes it easy to get around and see more of its diverse landscape. The drive to Lake Bled, with its dramatic mountain scenery, takes only around 1 hour 15 minutes so it is easy to combine the two, whether for a two-centre holiday or just as a day trip.

What to do in Ljubljana Old town landmarks include the St. Nicholas Cathedral with its distinctive bronze doors, and ornate interior. Meanwhile the new town is home to many of the art nouveau masterpieces including the Grand Hotel Union and the Centromerkur building, now a fashion store. The distinctive 11th century Ljubljana Castle sits atop a wooded hill, perching above the old town, surveying the red-roofed houses. It can be reached by the funicular railway, and is well worth a visit. The views from the castle walls are spectacular and the castle museum houses a fascinating display, allowing the visitor to journey through Slovenia’s history. During summer evenings, the courtyard is often used for musical performances.
Cobbled streets, markets & boutiques Make sure you get up early enough to catch the lively outdoor market, which sells all kinds of fruit and vegetables, local produce and handicrafts. Take a walk down the main street, the narrow cobbles of Stari Trg, now home to small boutiques and upmarket shops. Great souvenirs include decorative glass and crystal, hand-woven lace and specialities such as hand-made chocolates, Piran salt crystals, local honey and olive oil. Head out to the sprawling Tivoli Park, laid out during the early 19th century. It is a great place to picnic amidst the formal gardens, verdant lawns and wildflower meadows.
Cultural highlights Culture buffs will not be short of things to do with the Modern Gallery displaying Slovene art, the National museum of Slovenia which concentrates on the country’s archaeological heritage and the Natural History Museum which displays its flora and fauna.
Make sure you... •
Take the funicular railway up to the picturesque Ljubljana Castle to admire the views.
•

•
Picnic in the beautiful setting of Tivoli Park.

LAKE BLED Slovenia’s best known attraction, spectacular Lake Bled is surrounded by breath-taking mountain scenery, with wooded slopes, a fairy-tale castle and picturesque island church Lake Bled is popular with visitors of all ages, from the energetic who want to hike in the surrounding hills and gorges, to those who want to simply admire the views. And what stunning views they are! To the eastern end of the lake perches the dramatic Bled Castle, on top of a sheer cliff. To the west is Bled Island, with its picture-postcard church rising from amongst the trees. Tourism began here in the 19th century, when the renowned physician, Arnold Rikli, opened his ‘Institute of Natural Healing’ here, offering cures for all types of ills and health complaints. It quickly became popular with fashionable society, visited by the aristocracy of Vienna and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Yugoslav King Aleksander I chose Bled as his summer residence in 1921, and later Tito had his summer residence here at Villa Bled. The railway arrived in 1906, and steam trains still run regularly for a charming day trip through the beautiful scenery. Lake Bled still retains its aristocratic charm and continues to attract visitors now as it did then. Some simply want to soak up the views or take a relaxed promenade along the lake; others come to swim in the clear waters; and others still are here to hike in the surrounding mountains and ramble in the foothills. Lake Bled is more than capable of satisfying them all!
Connections Slovenia is a compact country, so it is easy to use Lake Bled as a base. Take a day trip to the capital of Ljubljana, just over an hour away. There is a steam train service from Lake Bled’s Jezero Station to Bohinj Bistrica.

LAKE BOHINJ Set in the spectacular Triglav National Park, Lake Bohinj is surrounded by stunning mountain scenery Lake Bohinj is a perfect base for those who want to explore the magnificent natural beauty of the region. Slovenia’s only National Park, the Triglav National Park, is home to her highest peak, the distinctive Mt. Triglav, which rises above the area. There are many hikes and walking trails for all abilities to explore the lakes and valleys and the foothills of the mountains, which are home to some charming, traditional villages. Everywhere you will see the characteristic kozolec, the racks used to dry hay. One of the most popular trails is the one leading to the impressive waterfalls of Slap Savica. Cycling is also a great way to get around, and there are plenty of places from which to hire a bike. Those who prefer to take to the water can canoe on Lake Bohinj, which is also perfect for swimming. There are lots of swimming areas and the water is spectacularly clear, thanks to the fresh mountain streams, which run down into the lake. The lake itself, around 30 minutes by bike from Bohinj Bistrica, is breathtakingly attractive, and much less visited than nearby Bled. The picturesque church of St. John is known for its frescoes, and there are a few restaurants and cafés on the waterfront, but generally it is a place to enjoy peace and quiet and contemplate the beautiful natural landscape. Take the cable car up from the lake to the mountain area of Vogel, which is popular with skiers in winter, to enjoy fantastic views of the Triglav massif. There is a steam train which runs from Bohinj Bistrica to Bled’s Jezero station for an interesting day out. Meanwhile, those who want to chill out can visit the Aquapark at the Hotel Park.
Connections There is a steam train service from Lake Bled’s Jezero Station to Bohinj Bistrica.

PIRAN & PORTOROZ Piran is the jewel of Slovenia’s Adriatic coast - a beautiful Italianate town on a lovely peninsula Piran is the perfect spot for a relaxed summer holiday - spend your days enjoying the beautiful Adriatic coast, swimming in the clear waters and soaking up the sun. Wander the streets of the beautiful medieval town, with its grand Venetian architecture. The ambience is sleepy and it is a fantastic place to while away the hours. Meander through narrow alleys and winding streets, coming upon impressive squares. Take a walk along the old city walls and admire the views over the peninsula, offering a panoramic vista of the coast. Just a short drive down the coast, is the larger resort of Portoroz, the ‘city of flowers’, which became a favourite of the Habsburg aristocracy, who built the grand Kempinski Palace here in 1910. They came for the therapeutic spa treatments which still attract visitors today. Its palmlined promenade runs the length of the resort, with its man-made sandy beach. It offers a good standard of hotel accommodation and some excellent restaurants. The region is known for its wine and an interesting day out is to visit the nearby vineyards and sample the excellent local wines. The surrounding countryside is also home to many interesting caves. The Secovlje salt pans have now become a wildlife sanctuary, its marshlands the habitat of protected flora and fauna, and a popular spot with birdwatchers, especially during migration.
Connections Although Piran is in Slovenia, Slovenia’s coastline is under 30 miles long, so it is very close to the borders with Italy and Croatia, and, therefore, easily reached from a number of airports including Trieste (Italy) and Pula (Croatia) as well as Ljubljana.

General information Visas/Passports
Included in your Holiday Cost
British passport-holders must hold a full passport in order to travel, which should be valid for 6 months. Please note that it is your responsibility to have a valid passport and the correct visa for your holiday if necessary. Anatolian Sky cannot be held responsible if you do not travel because of incorrect visa or passport. Any name change through marriage must be notified immediately and before the tickets are issued. The name on your flight tickets and other documentation must match exactly those on your passport.
• Return flights and baggage allowance as shown on your ticket • On scheduled flights: complimentary drinks including alcoholic drinks • Private return transfer from airport to your hotel • Accommodation and meals as detailed in our brochure • Services of our local representative • Airport Taxes and UK departure tax (APD £5) • £2.50 per person as part of the ATOL Protection Contribution (APC) we pay to the CAA Please note: In the unlikely event of any significant future increase in fuel costs being passed on to us by the airline, we reserve the right pass it on to you as a fuel surcharge. Please see our booking conditions on page 91.
Private Transfers All of our holidays to Slovenia include private return transfers and your driver will meet you at the airport to take you to your chosen accommodation. Please note that some islands are completely car-free and some resorts operate car-free zones in the summer, therefore, it may not be possible to deliver you to your hotel by car. If you have any difficulty in walking please make this clear at the time of booking so that we can advise you about the suitability of your chosen accommodation. Please note that the transfer times given on hotel pages are shown for guidance only and do not take into account the time it may take to drop off other guests at their accommodation en route to your own.
Transfers You will be transferred to/from the airport by car or minibus (and occasionally by coach) accompanied by our representative (for car or taxi transfer a representative is not always available). When a minibus or coach is used, it is always air-conditioned. We can also arrange private transfers on request. Those on a tailor-made or two-centre holiday will usually be transferred by taxi with an English-speaking driver. Please note that the transfer times given on hotel pages are shown for guidance only and do not take into account the time it may take to drop off other guests at their accommodation en route to your own.
Your Hosts Our representatives, whom we would like to call your hosts, will be pleased to provide you with local information and answer any queries you may have. In addition the telephone number and address of our representative will be provided with your holiday itinerary so that you can contact them should any problem arise. In the unlikely event that you do experience any difficulties whilst in resort, it is essential that you contact our representative immediately in order that we may resolve any problems as quickly as possible. We cannot take responsibility for any such difficulties, unless our representative is informed. Please note that during the winter months we may have more limited rep services in some resorts, than in high season.
Accommodation Safety standards are as laid down by the country in question and their regulatory bodies. You should, therefore, take any necessary precautions. In some accommodation air conditioning is only in operation at certain times of the year and/or at set times of the day. Accommodation should usually be vacated by 12.00 noon on the day of your departure. This applies even if you are leaving on a night-flight which may leave in the early hours of the following morning. It may be possible for you to arrange a late check-out if you wish to vacate your room after this time. This is at the discretion of the hotel and there will usually be an additional charge payable locally. In some accommodation air conditioning is only in operation at certain times of the year and/or at set times of the day. Where a hotel is described as having Internet access, either wireless or through a fixed connection, this is usually for those guests travelling with their own laptop. If you have any special dietary requirements then please inform us at the time of booking. Where possible we will try our very best to meet your request but please be aware that some hotels that we feature may not be able to provide these fully. We therefore recommend that any specific preferred foods are brought with you.
Last Minute Bookings There may be a ticket on departure charge for bookings made within 14 days of departure. You will be advised of the charge at the time of booking.

It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your travel arrangements, but we do plan the arrangements many months in advance. Occasionally, we may have to make changes and we reserve the right to do so at any time. Most of these changes will be minor and we will advise you or your travel agent of them at the earliest possible date.We also reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your travel arrangements. For example, if the minimum number of clients required for a particular travel arrangement is not reached, we may have to cancel it. However, we will not cancel your travel arrangements less than 12 weeks before your departure date, except for reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance. If we are unable to provide the booked travel arrangements, you can either have a refund of all monies paid or accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us, if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value). If it is necessary to cancel your travel arrangements, we will pay to you compensation as set out below except where the cancellation arises due to reasons of force majeure:

You will be advised of the current price of the holiday that you wish to book before your contract is confirmed.

5. If you change your booking
8. If you have a complaint
Once your booking has been confirmed, if you wish to change your travel arrangements, we will do our best to meet your requirements where it is possible for us to do so. If we can make the required alteration e.g. to departure airport, date or duration, there will be an administration charge which we will advise you of prior to the amendment being confirmed. You should be aware that such charges may increase significantly as you get closer to your departure date so it is best to contact us as soon as possible. No charge will be made, however, for amendments which involve solely the addition of car hire, insurance or additional arrangements if extra clients are travelling on the same holiday. All amendments must be notified to us in writing by the person who made the booking or your travel agent. If the number of persons booked changes, the holiday price will be recalculated on the basis of the new party size.
If you have a problem during your holiday, please inform the relevant supplier (e.g. your hotelier) and our resort representative immediately who will endeavour to put things right. If the problem cannot be resolved you must obtain a Client Comment Form from the representative for completion. If your complaint is not resolved locally, please follow this up within 28 days of your return home by writing to our Customer Services Department at Anatolian House, 81 Warwick Road, Solihull,West Midlands, B92 7HP giving your booking reference and all other relevant information. Please request a Client Dissatisfaction Form which the party leader must complete with full and final details of any dissatisfaction. If you fail to follow this simple procedure we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were in resort and this may affect your rights under this contract.
If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed by us or our suppliers we will pay you appropriate compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements. However we will not be liable where any failure in the performance of the contract is due to: you; or a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel arrangements and where the failure is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised; or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall. Our liability, except in cases involving death, injury or illness, shall be limited to a maximum of three times the cost of your travel arrangements. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/ or in an identical manner to (a) The contractual terms of the companies that provide the transportation for your travel arrangements. These terms are incorporated into this contract; and (b) Any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions. You can ask for copies of the transport companies’ contractual terms, or the international conventions, from our offices: Anatolian House, 81 Warwick Road, Solihull, West Midlands, B92 7HP, Tel: 08448 75 76 73. Under EU law (Regulation 261/2004) you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/ or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out in clause 6. If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline will be deducted from this amount. Complaints against airlines should be lodged by calling the CAA’s Consumer Advice line on 0207 7453 6888
10. Prompt assistance in resort If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed as a result of failures attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services, or as a result of failures due to unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall, and you suffer an injury or other material loss, we will offer you such prompt assistance as is reasonable in the circumstances.
11. Passport, visa and immigration requirements Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. Non British passport holders must refer to the embassy of the country they wish to visit to establish what (if any) visas they require. We recommend that you check passport and visa entry requirements before booking your holiday.
12. Force Majeure We will not pay you compensation if we have to cancel or change your travel arrangements in any way because of unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control. These can include, for example, war, riot, industrial dispute, terrorist activity and its consequences, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions, epidemics and pandemics, unavoidable technical problems with transport.
13. Your responsibility • Check-in for both outward and return flights is at least 2 hours prior to the departure times shown on the travel documents. The company can accept no responsibility for clients who arrive late for the check in and miss their flight as a result, nor can we accept responsibility for any loss by you of your holiday/ flight travel tickets, vouchers or coupons. • If you have booked flight-only, it is very important that you reconfirm your return flight at least 48 hours before departure. The company can accept no responsibility for clients who fail to meet this requirement and as a result miss their return transfer/flight due to a time change or similar circumstances. • All clients undertake to behave with propriety and in such a manner as in no way to cause or be likely to cause damage, distress, danger or annoyance to other clients, property and/or any third party. Please note that we reserve the right to terminate without notice the holiday arrangements of any client who, in our absolute discretion, behaves in a way which is disruptive and affects the enjoyment of other holidaymakers, or in a way which threatens to cause or does cause distress, annoyance, damage, or danger to Anatolian Sky staff, customers or to our suppliers. In the event of such termination no compensation will be paid and the client will be liable for any costs incurred as a result of their behaviour or of the termination of this contract. Airlines have the right to refuse to carry, at the absolute discretion of the captain, any passenger who they feel for whatever reason may be disruptive to fellow passengers or airline staff.
14. Flight delays If there is a significant flight delay, the airline should provide you with refreshments according to the time of day. Travel insurance does offer cover against extensive delays and it is a condition of booking that you purchase such cover.
15. This brochure This brochure is our responsibility, as your tour operator. It is not issued on behalf of, and does not commit the airlines mentioned herein or any airline whose services are used in the course of your travel arrangements. Please note, in accordance with Air Navigation Orders, to qualify for infant status a child must be under 2 years of age on the date of its return flight. We have taken every care to ensure the information in the brochure is correct at the time of publication. However, we are sure you will appreciate that subsequently minor alterations may arise. In such cases (and if we are forewarned) we will make every effort to advise you as soon as reasonably possible.
INFORMATION
(iii) Changes in transportation costs, including the cost of fuel, dues, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes, embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports and exchange rates mean that the price of your travel arrangements may change after you have booked. However, there will be no change within 30 days of your departure. We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that, plus an administration charge of £1.00 per person together with an amount to cover agents’ commission. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price) or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of your holiday cost, then any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place.
In accordance with EU Regulation 2111/2005 we are required to advise you of the actual carrier operating your flight/connecting flight/transfer. We will do this at the time of booking. Any changes to the actual airline after you have received your tickets will be notified to you as soon as possible and in all cases at check-in or at the boarding gate. Such a change is deemed to be a minor change. Other examples of minor changes include alteration of your outward/ return flights by less than 12 hours, changes to aircraft type, change of accommodation to another of the same standard, changes of airport between Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stansted. If we make a major change to your holiday, we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. You will have the choice of either accepting the change of arrangements, accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value), or cancelling your booked holiday and receiving a full refund of all monies paid. In all cases, except where the major change arises due to reasons of force majeure, we will pay compensation as detailed below:
