2014 is a very special year for us, because it marks our 25th year of providing good quality holidays. I am so proud that Anatolian Sky Holidays has endured and not only that, but we have advanced from strength to strength, and are now one of the few truly independent tour operators left in the industry. Anatolian Sky is still a family-run business, and many of our staff have been with us almost since the beginning. More importantly we still keep to our core philosophy of customer care - providing those personal touches when they are most needed - from the minute you first contact us, to your flight home.

When I first started the company, Turkey was our only destination. Now it is one of many destinations which we offer, although it is still at the very heart of our business. It has been joined by North Cyprus, Madeira, Croatia, Egypt, Morocco and Jordan, and in 2014 will be joined by two new destinations: Slovenia and Montenegro.

This year, we are revisiting some of our favourite Turkish resorts. I am delighted that I have been able to find some excellent boutique hotels in Kas. Kas is one of my favourite places, an authentic Turkish resort town, with a sleepy atmosphere, which has reinvented itself as a paradise for activity holidays. We are also introducing the D Resort in Göcek, a luxury resort hotel in one of the most popular spots on the Blue Cruise route. Sometimes, charming hotels can be found in more unlikely spots, and I was delighted too to discover the Petunya Konak, in a quiet spot in Içmeler. We want to make sure that you find your perfect holiday, so if you would like any advice please don’t hesitate to call our friendly reservations team, who will be happy to give you the benefit of their first-hand knowledge of the resorts and accommodation which we feature. If you would like to speak to me personally, please feel free to call me on my direct number 0121 764 3555. I look forward to welcoming you on an Anatolian Sky holiday in 2014.

Hos Geldiniz - Welcome to
Anatolian Sky
In Turkey you will find a welcome is accompanied by a friendly smile, from the heart. We hope that Anatolian Sky will become like a trusted friend, our local knowledge and expertise guiding you through your holiday experience.

Expertise and specialist knowledge
Service with a smile
Accommodation with character
Your first point of contact with Anatolian Sky will probably be speaking to one of our reservations team when you book your holiday. From that moment on, you will benefit our 25 years of experience as a specialist tour operator to Turkey. We understand everyone wants something different from their holiday so our reservations team are there to help you find the perfect holiday to suit you. They have all personally visited the resorts and accommodation featured in this brochure so that they can offer first hand advice to help you book the right holiday for you. Alternatively, if you prefer to conduct your research online, you will find our website offers a wealth of information and we will always provide a prompt answer to any emailed queries.
Hospitality is an important part of Turkish culture, based on the premise that strangers are guests of God and should be afforded a warm welcome. We have tried to take on this delightful, refreshing attitude as part of our company philosophy. We understand the importance of first – and last – impressions so we ensure that when you arrive in Turkey you are greeted by a warm smile. Our representatives, your hosts in resort, are selected not just for their in-depth local knowledge but also for their warm, friendly personalities. In fact, to ensure the wellbeing of our guests, we have set up our own incoming agency in Turkey. You will find our team of representatives are an invaluable source of local information and advice and are on hand 24 hours a day.
Boutique hotels These small intimate establishments offer a more personal level of service and character. These boutique hotels are usually decorated and furnished in an individual, often quirky way to reflect local style. They offer a real alternative to those who seek high standards of service and accommodation but do not like large hotels and would prefer to stay somewhere with an abundance of local character. Luxury hotels Standards of accommodation in Turkey are rising all the time and it is becoming easier and easier to fulfil the high expectations of even our most discerning clients. We have a wonderful selection of luxury properties, which provide the highest standards of accommodation, service and facilities. Of course, this does come at a price – but considering the quality of these hotels, we believe that they still offer excellent value for money. Family-run hotels Most of our hotels are family-run, as we believe that this is one of the best ways for our guests to experience traditional Turkish hospitality. Even those which are not, are chosen for their warm welcome and personal touch.

Exclusive hotels for the UK We have signed ‘exclusivity’ agreements with many of our favourite hotels, which means these hotels are comfortably meeting our high standards and that we are the only UK tour operator chosen to work with them. This enables us to provide better value and higher standards of service and will also enable you to spend your holiday with like-minded people (although guests from other countries may be staying in the hotel).
Rating our hotels The star rating in this brochure is our own rating based on our set criteria and should not be compared with a standard local star rating. For our overall rating, we concentrate on factors which we believe are important to our holidaymakers such as friendly and efficient service, unique character, surroundings, location, level of comfort, furnishings and the facilities offered in the hotel based on feedback from previous clients.
We try to describe the accommodation and facilities as accurately as possible in the text. If there is any aspect about the hotel which you require more information, please ask our friendly reservations team who are all familiar with the accommodation which we feature in this brochure.
Complimentary Pocket Guide The Anatolian Sky team has a genuine love for Turkey, which we pride ourselves on sharing with our clients. Our ‘Unspoilt Turkey Pocket Guide’, offers insights into Turkish history, culture and everyday life, allowing you to make the most of your holiday. It also includes the Turkish Language Guide, written by our Managing Director who is Turkish himself. Turkish is a fascinating language and although most Turks speak English, they do really appreciate it if you make an effort to attempt even a few words of Turkish. Those clients booking tailor made holidays will receive a free copy automatically, however, if you would like a free Pocket Guide, please do request one when you make a booking.

Sustainable Tourism At Anatolian Sky we fully support the principles of sustainable tourism set out by the World Tourism Organisation (WTO) and the Association of Independent Tour Operators (AITO). We aim to minimise the impact of our holidays on the natural landscape; respect the local culture and traditions by imparting our knowledge of and love for Turkey to our guests; minimise pollution and conserve natural resources. By promoting Turkey’s fascinating interior, offering tailor-made holidays and guided tours we encourage visitors away from the better known coastal areas and towards central Turkey, thereby assisting in achieving a more balanced pattern of tourism. For over 15 years, we have made regular monthly contributions towards the good work carried out by OXFAM and for the past 10 years we have also contributed each month to TEGV, a local project which educates disadvantaged children and youngsters in rural parts of Eastern Turkey. We have also contributed each month for the last 5 years to ‘Stepping Stone’, who provide home and education to homeless children in Africa.

Anatolia was the home of Herodotus, the Father of History, and Homer who wrote of the Trojan wars in his Iliad. It was also home to Mevlana who founded the movement known as the ‘Whirling Dervishes’, the birthplace of St. Nicholas (Santa Claus) and the place where the Virgin Mary spent her last days. There are said to be more Greek ruins here than in Greece itself, and indeed more Roman ruins than in Italy. Wherever you choose to stay you are sure to be within easy reach of one of Turkey’s fascinating ancient sites. Turkey is home to no fewer than eleven UNESCO World Heritage Sites including the historic areas of Istanbul - where the 6th Century Aya Sofya and the 16th century Süleymaniye Mosque are particular highlights - the Göreme National Park in the fascinating region of Cappadocia, which is famed for its “fairy chimney” lunarlike rock formations and vast underground cities, and the natural wonder that is the calcium cliffs of Pamukkale or the “Cotton Castle” as it is known in English.

The fact that Turkey is surrounded by sea on three sides - the Mediterranean, Black Sea and Aegean Sea - means that there is an abundant supply of fish and a variety of seafood, often freshly caught that day. To accompany your meal try the excellent local wine, the refreshing lager, Efes, or the national tipple, raki. You should round off your meal with a cup of thick, sweet Turkish coffee and a morsel of the world famous Turkish Delight. Breakfast in most Turkish hotels is fresh white bread, crumbly ‘white’ cheese, (similar to feta), olives, jam or honey and often tomatoes and cucumber, which is traditionally washed down with strong, sweet black tea, served in a glass. The shopping experience takes on a whole new meaning in Turkey, once you have lost your inhibitions, you will find that haggling over the price is half the fun of the purchase.

This is usually timed so that it is on for 2 hours whilst guests shower and change for dinner and 1 hour to cool the cabin before guests retire for bed. Please note that the vast majority of cabins have double beds, so if you really want twin beds you must make this clear at the time of booking, and it may not be possible to guarantee.

Late Departures/ Arrivals Please note that those who arrive on evening flights on the first day, may arrive too late to be served dinner on board. Also, lunch is not served on the last day of your holiday, even if you are departing on an evening flight as the crew will be busy preparing the boat to welcome new guests.

Datca Bay Cruise: Marmaris – Datça Operated by Seyhan and Semercioglu IV Our newest gulet cruise itinerary which starts in glittering Marmaris, and cruises around the peninsula, in the clear waters of the South Aegean, ending in the charming resort of Datça.

Marmaris: Probably the most cosmopolitan of the Turkish resorts, it is a lively and bustling town and the perfect place to pick up your holiday souvenirs, head to the covered bazaar and practice your bartering skills! There is a wealth of restaurants, bars and clubs for you to visit, or walk up to the old castle overlooking the marina and bay. The marina is one of Turkey’s largest, home to some seriously glitzy yachts. Bozukkale: Literally translated as ‘broken castle’ the ruins of a castle stand on the headland. Formerly called Loryma the bay was used at various times to assemble naval fleets, most notably in 395 BC by Demetrius Polioketes before his attack on Rhodes. Polioketes constructed a huge catapult estimated to weigh around 125 tons. The attack failed but Polioketes sold his machine and donated the money to the Rhodians to build a statue to commemorate the battle. The result was the huge bronze statue of Helios, the sun God that stood astride the harbour at Rhodes and was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Bozburun: A charming, small village, famous in ancient times for its marble quarries and now renowned for its boat-yards where gulets are still made according to traditional methods. The surrounding hills are fragrant with herbs and you should not leave without tasting the delicious thyme honey.
Day 7 Visit Aktur and after lunch continue to Datça harbour. Day 8 Free time before your transfer to Dalaman airport for your flight home. Also operates in reverse from Datça - Marmaris

Luxury Gulet
Private Hire Gulet What could be better than to explore the beautiful coastline in the company of friends and family. For the ultimate gulet holiday, hire an entire gulet for your own private cruise. It may well work out to be more costeffective than you think.
Our gulet holidays are so popular that many people return year after year. Although for lots of our guests, making new friends is all part of the fun, we find that others are drawn to the concept of private hire. What this means is that you decide to book the entire gulet, and all of the cabins on it for your friends and family. Of course, the captain and crew will still be there to take care of the running of the gulet and the catering, but there will be no other paying guests on board.
Our gulets range from 7-10 cabins, so simply by combining a few families or getting together with a group of friends, you may well find that it is not only more fun but also better value for money if you hire the entire gulet for the week. The only other people on board will be the captain and crew, so you will have more freedom and flexibility. Most people prefer to stick to the itineraries we have described in the brochure, but it should be perfectly possible to make small changes in discussion with the captain. It is always best to discuss with us at the time of booking to ensure that what you have in mind is feasible.

There is nothing more relaxing than a gulet holiday. You can simply lie back, soak up the sun and enjoy the views, knowing that the captain and crew are taking care of all your needs. Now imagine that the gulet is full of your friends and family, giving you an opportunity to slow down and catch up, making the most of lazy days and leisurely lunches and dinners. We are all familiar with that feeling of not having enough time to spend with our loved ones, so what could be better than having a whole gulet to yourselves, and plenty of time to enjoy each other’s company.

Gulet Cruise and Stay Combination
Prices from £955
Combining a gulet cruise with a stay in one of our authentic beach resorts makes for a truly relaxing holiday. Spend a week cruising and a week staying in your chosen hotel.
Taking a cruise on a traditional Turkish gulet is a wonderful way of exploring the coast. You can visit tiny villages, unspoiled bays and charming islands, many of which can only be accessed from the sea. You also have the opportunity to swim in the clear waters of the Mediterranean and South Aegean, away from the crowds. Life on board is unhurried and relaxed and a gulet cruise is a time for making new friends and enjoying the opportunity to spend time with old ones. Soak up the sun and enjoy the relaxed pace of life on board, sharing meals al fresco and lazy evenings at sea or in harbour. Many of our guests decide that one week in Turkey is simply not enough, and choose to spend the week after their gulet cruise staying in one of our charming beach resorts. This makes for a great holiday combination. We have put together some of our most popular cruise and stay combinations, offering convenient transfers between the gulet cruise and your chosen hotel. Of course, if you prefer, you can swap around the order and spend a week in a hotel first and then take a gulet cruise.

An Introduction to
Kalkan
Kalkan is a harbour town which just oozes the flavour of Turkey. You will be enchanted by its narrow streets and cobbled alleyways with their ‘higgledy piggledy’ houses, leading up the hillside surrounding the harbour.
Kalkan is the kind of laid-back, lazy resort where time can pass doing virtually nothing except relaxing, soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying your holiday. Spend your days swimming in the clear Mediterranean waters, perhaps from one of the many seafront ‘beach’ clubs, where you can also enjoy watersports such as waterskiing and jetski. Then, what could be better than an early evening promenade through the narrow streets to explore the charming shops, before settling down with a cold glass of wine to admire the views over the harbour-front. Kalkan has an excellent choice of restaurants serving authentic local cuisine and freshly-caught fish, as well as a number of lively bars.
36
With over 25 historic sites less than a two hour drive or boat trip away, Kalkan is a great base for exploring the surrounding area. Visit Kekova, the sunken city, which lies submerged just off the coast with its ornately carved columns protruding from the sea. If you feel energetic you can spend a day river canoeing, scuba diving or on a jeep safari exploring mountains, lakes and waterfalls. For day trips you can visit the Lycian tombs at Dalyan or Tios, the market at Fethiye or just relax on a lazy day boat cruise.

For beach-lovers, Kalkan has its own small pebble beach or head out of town to the nearby beautiful beaches of Kaputas or Patara – only 20 minutes away and both easily accessed by a regular dolmus (minibus) service from the centre of Kalkan at a minimal cost. Kaputas is a fine, shingle beach, with sea the most unfeasibly bright turquoise colour you have ever seen. Patara, on the other hand is an 11 mile stretch of golden sand, with a wonderfully atmospheric ruined Roman city, including a 10,000 seat amphitheatre, which lies half-buried in the sand.

An Introduction to
Kas Peninsula An enchanting seaside town in a beautiful setting – perfect for a laid-back holiday. Kas also offers plenty of activity including sea kayaking and walking in the surrounding mountains.
For a taste of the real Turkey, visit the charming seaside town of Kas, where life continues as it has for centuries, with only a passing nod to tourism. The town nestles at the foot of impressive mountains, traditional Ottoman houses overhanging the cobbled streets – a maze of shops, bars and restaurants. As you wander the narrow streets, turning a corner you may come across the Monument tomb, a distinctive Lycian sarcophagus. It is said that the streets of Kas were once littered with these tombs, although this is the only one which has been preserved. Kas was the site of the ancient city of Antiphellos, the remains of the theatre still stand just outside the town centre, overlooked by ancient Doric tombs, cut into the rock of the hillside.
52
Sit beneath a shady tree in the seafront tea gardens, supping a glass of strong, dark Turkish tea, and make friends with the locals. Or simply watch the boats as they come in and out of the attractive harbor, looking over the clear waters of the Mediterranean towards the island of Kastellorizon – Meis in Turkish – the nearest of the Greek islands to the Turkish mainland.

Kas is a great starting point for exploring this beautiful stretch of unspoilt coastline by boat. A daytrip to see the sunken city of Kekova is a must, with its mysterious rock tombs protruding from the crystal-clear waters, surveyed by the ruins of the ancient castle of Simena high above. Dive from the boat and snorkel in hidden coves, in crystal-clear waters where the warm waters of the Mediterranean mingle with icy cold mountain springs.

An Introduction to
Marmaris • • Içmeler Turunç •
Gocek
• • Datça Selimiye
A mecca for yachting enthusiasts, this charming resort is one of the most popular spots along the ‘Blue Cruise’ route. Traditional wooden gulets and million-pound yachts bob side-by-side in the colourful marina.
0
20
0
Göcek nestles roughly half way between Dalaman and Fethiye. A riot of colour greets you upon arrival – the most dazzling turquoise waters fringed by lush green pines and whitewashed houses festooned with vivid pink bougainvillea. Daily boat trips depart mid-morning and consist of nothing more than exploring deserted coves, swimming in the crystal-clear bays and sunbathing on deck, arriving back just as the sun starts to set. Beaches on this stretch of the coast are mostly pebbly, but the waters are beautifully clear for swimming. The influx of yachtie types has ensured that Göcek has more than its fair share of chic boutiques and stylish bars and restaurants. A long, lazy lunch on the marina front allows you to watch the world go by. Entire afternoons disappear as course upon mouth-watering course of the freshest meze, calamari and succulent sea bass are brought to the table, alongside an ice-filled glass of raki, the local aniseed-based tipple.
Göcek boasts a lively Sunday market, where you can buy all manner of local produce, souvenirs and designer knock-offs. Be prepared for hilarious sales pitches and don’t be afraid to barter – it is expected! If you want to explore further afield, there are regular dolmus services to the nearby harbour town of Fethiye.

An Introduction to
Marmaris • • Içmeler Turunç •
Datça
• • Datça Selimiye
• Dalyan
Dalaman Airport
• Fethiye
A sophisticated resort, popular with yachting types and local tourists. Datca has no shortage of Turkish charm and jawdropping scenery. 0
20
0
As one of the most popular spots on the celebrated Blue Cruise route, Datca has grown to be a chic, cosmopolitan resort. There is a good choice of restaurants serving the very best of local produce along the natural harbour. If you ask anyone in Turkey, they will tell you that Datça is famous for three things: honey, almonds and fish. However you choose to spend your time in this charming spot, you are sure to find each of these in abundance, so do make sure that you try all three. The almonds are best tasted fresh and usually served on ice, washed down with a glass of raki. The resort is delightfully uncrowded and the surrounding landscape, which is punctuated by the occasional tiny, whitewashed village and flanked by sparkling turquoise-hued coves, is simply breathtaking. Nearby beaches include the pebbly Taslik beach and the sandy Kumluk. Azanli, which is about 10km away, is famed for its magnificent coastal views and cove and is a favourite for local windsurfers. The crystal clear waters mean all are perfect for swimming and snorkelling. 60
In recent years Datça has become popular as a windsurfing and kitesurfing spot, and it is a good place to learn, if you are feeling energetic. There is also a local dive centre.

An Introduction to
Akyaka
Akyaka is an idyllic beach resort at the head of the Gulf of Gokova, nestling in deep pine forests and eucalyptus woods, with a backdrop of the majestic Sakar Tepe Mountains.
On the whole you will find that a traditional way of life continues in Akyaka much as it has done for hundreds of years. As you take in the breathtakingly beautiful scenery which surrounds you, you can watch the local fishermen mending their nets. The quiet town has plenty of restaurants on the seafront promenade and a couple of relaxed bars.
66
The whole region is protected against modern style development, so any new development has to blend in with the old, making Akyaka a truly wonderful place to holiday as it has retained an old world charm rarely seen elsewhere. The houses are all built in the traditional ‘Mugla’ style of architecture, many constructed out of pine in a distinctive octagonal shape and others have whitewashed walls and hand-carved wooden balconies and decorative features.
BOOK WITH MALVERN WORLD TRAVEL
01684 562406
The long sandy beach of Akyaka is in a sheltered bay with shallow waters, ideal for children. You can take a boat trip to explore the crystal-clear waters and many untouched bays on this beautiful stretch of coast. Away from the coast, the river Azmak meanders through the verdant countryside of fields and woodlands. You can take a river tour to explore this idyllic setting, stopping off at the beautiful Cinar Beach, one of the most attractive pebble beaches in the area.

An Introduction to
Fethiye & Calis A traditional market town, Fethiye nestles in a natural harbour protected by the small islands off the shore - Sovalye Adasi is the closest with a further eleven islands in the outer bay.
Fethiye harbour is the ideal place for a seafront promenade, bustling with fishing boats, gulets and international yachts, whilst the town exudes charm, with some excellent restaurants and a market where locals gather to sell their wares - it is the biggest in the area and the perfect place to hunt for bargains, hone your bartering skills and stock up on holiday souvenirs. As dusk falls, the many cafes, lively bars and shops situated in the maze of narrow streets and alleys come to life, overlooked by the floodlit tomb of Amyntas, which dates back from 350 BC, a Doric temple façade carved in the rock face.
74
The Fethiye region has many interesting places to visit including the fascinating ‘ghost town’ of Kayaköy, long since abandoned, the stunning gorge of Saklikent, literally translated as ‘hidden city’ and of course, the famous beach and blue lagoon of Ölüdeniz, just the other side of the hill, which is easily reached by dolmus. Fethiye is a good starting point from which to explore the surrounding coast by traditional gulet and has become very popular with those learning to scuba dive.

01684 562406
Calis The nearest beach to Fethiye is Çalis Beach with its backdrop of dramatic mountains and stunning views across the wide blue bay to tiny islands and distant hills. It has grown into a delightful friendly resort with hotels, pensions, bars, restaurants and shops on the beach road, closed off to traffic during the summer months. Çalis is a 20 minute dolmus ride away along the coast or you can take a water taxi from the seafront for the pleasant 30 minute trip across the bay.

Ece Saray - Fethiye Bed & Breakfast This grand hotel, set to one side of Fethiye harbour in a stunning seafront location, offers all the ingredients of a dream holiday - recommended for weddings, honeymoons and all special occasions. E ce saray - F ethiye The hotel has its own marina and is in an idyllic setting which is nonetheless only a few minutes walk from the centre, offering convenient access to all of the attractions of Fethiye. Standards of accommodation and facilities are high - perfect for a relaxing break. The architecture is in the style of an Ottoman palace or grand summer residence. This theme is continued throughout the décor with rich crimsons, golds and beautiful flower motifs. Such attention has been paid to detail in the interior design that the bedside lamps are made from intricately painted ostrich eggs.
The hotel benefits from stunning views throughout, from the rooftop terrace where breakfast is served, to the Iskele bar set to the side of the Marina and the seafront Bayside restaurant serving a range of snacks including delicious ‘pide’, traditional Turkish pizza. During the summer months dinner too is taken overlooking the marina. Due to high demand and the limited number of rooms in the hotel we recommend early booking to avoid disappointment.

An Introduction to
Ölüdeniz & Ovacik Named after its famous lagoon, which translates literally as ‘dead sea’, the scenery of this resort is some of the most breath-taking in the whole of Turkey.
High pine-clad mountains surround an idyllic bay with a long swathe of pale shingle and coarse sand leading to the protected National Park area of the lagoon with its sandy beach to one end. It is a spectacularly romantic setting, which could be why so many couples choose to get married here. Ölüdeniz is also the perfect family resort for a laid-back beach holiday. It is a popular resort with numerous lively bars, restaurants and shops alongside the seafront promenade but still retaining an individual charm. There is plenty of choice when it comes to dining out, with a choice of authentic Turkish and international cuisine, fine dining options, budget options and many places offering childfriendly menus. While away the pressure of life in this hazy sunblessed resort while sunbathing, sipping on a long cool refreshing drink or enjoying one of the many watersports and activities available.
86
High above the bay are the villages of Hisarönü and Ovacik. Just 4kms from Olüdeniz, Hisarönü offers lively nightlife and a great variety of shops, cosy cafes and a wider choice of restaurants, whilst nearby Ovacik is slightly quieter and surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery, still with a choice of shops, bars and restaurants. There are frequent dolmus services available to both these villages and also to Fethiye, only 12kms from Olüdeniz, an attractive harbour town with a colourful, bustling market to explore. The local countryside is also very beautiful and holidays here are certainly not just for beach lovers. A rambler’s paradise, this lovely resort is situated along Turkey’s first long-distance walking route, the Lycian Way, a 509km way-marked footpath around the coast of southern Turkey running from Fethiye to Antalya. For walkers the best time of year to enjoy this route is either February to May or September to November, avoiding the higher temperatures during the main summer months. It is possible to walk shorter shadier sections if visiting during June to August, but not particularly recommended.

You can take a short boat ride to vibrant Butterfly Valley, named for the migratory Euplagia quadripunctaria, more commonly known as the Jersey Tiger, a colourful red, black and white tiger moth which comes to the valley in the thousands during the summer months. A waterfall cascades into the flat-bottomed valley which is enclosed by towering cliffs, the damp conditions supporting a variety of plants as well as appealing to the moths and other kinds of butterflies.

Hotel Meri - Ölüdeniz
+
This hotel provides a great location for the ultimate beach holiday set in a unique spot, right on Turkey’s most famous beach.
All Inculsive
H O T E L M E R I - Ö lüdeniz The Hotel Meri occupies the most idyllic spot in the famous Ölüdeniz National Park, nestling into the pine-clad hillside, overlooking the famous lagoon. Situated at the end of Ölüdeniz beach, it is set apart from the bustling resort centre and yet only a short walk from its many attractions. The Hotel Meri’s attractive gardens lead down past the swimming pool, the bar and the restaurant to the sandy beach of the lagoon. Try hiring one of the hotel’s canoes or pedalos (extra charge applies) and really explore the beauty of this area or simply enjoy swimming in the clear turquoise sea.
The rooms are set over the extensive grounds, some close to the pool and others on the hillside, so the hotel is not suitable for those with walking difficulties. The shady gardens, fine sand and the shallow warm waters of the lagoon make this hotel particularly popular with families with younger children.
We have rated this hotel with 4 stars due to its incomparable location, but the rooms are simply decorated offering accommodation of a 3 star standard.
Added Value Early Booking Discount: Save up to £328 per couple No single supplement between 21April - 11 May 2014 & 13 October - 31 October 2014 Free bottle of wine or fruit basket for repeat clients and honeymoon couples

Ocakköy - Ovacik Traditional village style accommodation, which offers a beautiful natural setting for complete relaxation.
Self Catering
ocakkoy - O V A C I K Designed to blend perfectly with nature, the village is set in enormous grounds on a hillside, giving a real sense of space and tranquillity, which will appeal to couples and families alike.
This collection of beautiful stone cottages has been converted from an original village that was abandoned around 1918. The name Ocakköy is a combination of the Turkish words for ‘hearth’ and ‘village’, and fittingly you will find at least one homely fireplace in each of the individually furnished cottages. Enjoy any of the three swimming pools (2 are for adults only and the other has a waterslide and is perfect for families), relax at one of the bars and enjoy a tasty meal at the restaurant, or the freedom of self-catering. During high season there is a weekly barbecue night.
In keeping with the natural environment, you will find that the local village goats and cows are regular visitors! Since it is in a rural setting it is a good idea to take a torch if you are planning to venture out at night. For those wanting to explore the region, Ölüdeniz Beach is just a 15 minute drive away or you can visit the busy market town of Fethiye, only 10 minutes away by car. With Ocakköy’s excellent facilities, however, you may not want to be away for long.
Added Value Early Booking Discount: Save up to £140 per couple

Those who dream of being able to slow the pace of life right down, to escape from the pressures of modern life and return to a more natural rhythm should visit the charming village of Selimiye. 0 0
Situated on the Marmaris peninsula, this idyllic traditional Turkish fishing village is set on a wide bay with a mountain backdrop and a ruined fortress on a hill overlooking the azure sea. Fishermen mend their nets on the pebble beach as their colourful boats bob in the clear waters of the bay. The catch of fresh fish and seafood is served the same day at the seafront restaurants, renowned for their delicious fare. The only sounds are those of the craftsmen going about their daily work at the village boatyard and the call to prayer, the haunting chant of the Muezzin, from the tiny whitewashed mosque. This beautiful region is renowned for its rich harvest of almonds and fragrant herbs such as oregano and sage, as well as its famous, delicious pine honey. It is a rare pleasure to be in an area where you are more likely to come across a herd of goats or a farmer riding a donkey, than a coach load of tourists! To explore this area and it’s beautiful country side you could hire a car. See page 194 for more details. There is an ATM within the village but we would recommend you do not rely on this.

The beach in Alacati itself is rugged and sandy, the windy conditions here making it perfect for a range of water sports and the inviting turquoise water and gently sloping access are perfect for swimmers too. Owing to the peninsula setting, there are plenty of other beaches within easy reach of Alacati, including the exclusive beach clubs of Aya Yorgi and the warm thermal waters of Ilica, which is famed for its therapeutic hot springs.

The larger resort of Cesme is situated a further quarter of an hour from here and easily accessible by dolmus. Set at the tip of the peninsula, Cesme boasts cobbled streets lined with an array of shops, restaurants and bars, and is dominated by an imposing 16th century Ottoman fortress, which also doubles as a museum.
Dalyan Koy is a charming village around 15 minutes from Cesme. Its name means ‘fishery’ and this quaint village set on a harbour is still best known for its fish restaurants. There are a handful of shops and a post office but most people come here for the laid-back beach.
In fact there is an excellent choice of beaches within an easy dolmus ride of Cesme and Dalyan Koy and for a complete change of scenery, why not enjoy a day trip by boat to the neighbouring Greek Island of Chios?

An Introduction to
Antalya - Old Quarter The old quarter of Antalya is the charming and atmospheric heart of Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, with beaches to either side, and the designer golf resort of Belek close by.
Antalya’s Old Quarter The picturesque old town of Antalya, known as ‘Kaleiçi’, literally ‘within the citadel’, is a maze of narrow winding streets leading down to the harbour, in the shelter of the ancient city walls. Antalya is one of Turkey’s biggest towns and is the capital of the region. The old quarter, however, retains an authentic charm and peaceful ambience, due mainly to the fact that its narrow streets are traffic-free. It is the ideal place to soak up the atmosphere around the charming harbour. Traditional wooden gulets leave from here to explore the beautiful coast and its hidden caves. Kaleiçi has its own small but attractive ‘Mermerli’ beach, set to one side of Antalya harbour. Steep steps leading down the cliff reach the sunbathing terraces and sandy beach area. There are plenty of excellent restaurants here serving fresh fish, succulent kebabs and a range of local and international dishes. This really is a great choice for those who want a taste of the real Turkey. 120
For the active there are plenty of watersports available from the larger sandy beach of Lara just outside the town as well as walking, climbing and caving in the surrounding mountains. The region is one of great natural beauty, home to impressive waterfalls and unusual caves, and there is a wealth of history to explore in the vicinity. Historic sites include the ruins of the ancient cities of Pamphylia: Side, Perge and Aspendos, with its amphitheatre seating up to 15,000 people. Side is perhaps the most impressive, with its ancient walled city and stunning beachfront setting.

An Introduction to
Istanbul City Breaks Istanbul is uniquely positioned at the crossroads of the Orient and the Occident, with one foot in Europe and the other in Asia. For the perfect Two Centre holiday, combine a stay in Istanbul with a Turkish or North Cyprus coastal resort.
Standing on the shores of the Bosphorus, the narrow strait where the waters of the Black Sea mingle with those of the Sea of Marmara, Istanbul is also divided by the Golden Horn. Surrounded by water, the city guards the precious remains of the empires of which she has been capital from the Byzantine to the Ottoman. Istanbul is a unique link between East and West, past and present. The Skyline of minarets and domes, mingling with modern skyscrapers immediately strikes the eye as that of a city full of intrigue. There is a continual bustle and movement of the crowds, rumbling of vehicles along the old cobbled streets with everybody going about their everyday business in this lively city. Listen to the cries of the street sellers mingling with the sounds of the ships in the busy port or enjoy one of the many restaurants, cafes and bars, sampling the delicious Turkish cuisine.
124
Soak up the history of Topkapi Palace, the centre of the Ottoman Empire, the place from which the Sultans ruled their Empire, or marvel at the sheer beauty of the Blue Mosque and Hagia St. Sophia, Islam and Christianity, facing each other across history, a true symbol of peace and tolerance. Stumble upon fine examples of wooden Ottoman houses as you make your way to the incredible Grand Bazaar, the maze of shops selling everything under the sun. However long you stay, your time in this unforgettable city will be a unique experience.

An Introduction to The
• Istanbul
Princes’ Islands
Gallipoli
Princes’ Island
•
•
• Canakkale
Troy
Escape from the bustle of Istanbul to Heybeliada, the second largest of the Princes’ Islands, a chain of nine islands in the Marmara Sea, only a little over an hour away from the city by ferry.
Ankara •
• Izmir • Ephesus
The Princes’ Islands lie in the Sea of Marmara, off the coast of Istanbul, and are a popular summer retreat. They form an enticing contrast to the busy metropolis of Istanbul as their attractions are pine forests to stroll in, monasteries to explore, 19th century villas to admire, beaches, markets and tours by bicycle, on foot or horse-drawn cart. No cars are allowed on the islands so they are incredibly peaceful compared with Istanbul.
If you fancy a change of scenery and somewhere different to swim take a ferry to one of the other islands. The largest and most popular is Buyakada, which is lively and colourful with many restaurants, shops, plenty of beaches and picnic areas. For a complete contrast take the ferry over to the mainland of Istanbul. Leave in the morning, spend a full day’s sightseeing and be back in time for dinner. The ferry journey is all part of the fun and you benefit from some stunning views of Istanbul.
During the Byzantine period, princes and other royalty were exiled on the islands and later members of the Ottoman sultans family were exiled there too, giving the islands their present name. Heybeliada is the second largest of the nine-strong archipelago that makes up the Princes’ Islands, is loved for its natural beauty and beaches. It has a choice of restaurants and a thriving shopping strip with bakeries and delicatessens selling picnic provisions to day-trippers who come to walk in the pine groves and swim from the tiny beaches. It has a number of private beach clubs, where you can swim in the sea, in return for a small daily entrance fee. 132
Your price includes your return transfer from Istanbul airport, which will drop/collect you at the Princes’ Island ferry, and your return ferry tickets. You will make your own way on the ferry then either have the option to walk or take a horse-drawn carriage to your hotel. Unfortunately, this cannot be arranged in advance. Private Transfer Supplements If you would prefer the comfort and convenience of having your own private return transfer please add: 1 person 2 persons £69 £34 Above prices per person are for private executive vehicles. Terms and conditions apply.

Two Centre Holidays
Istanbul & Turkish Resort
2
centre
(3+7=10 Nights) from ÂŁ669 Per person One of the best ways to experience Turkey is to combine a visit to Istanbul with a stay in a coastal resort. Istanbul is a unique and fascinating city and a 3 night stay is long enough to see the main attractions, which are mostly within easy walking distance of each other.
Sightseeing can be tiring, however, so what better way to relax than to spend the following 7 nights soaking up the sun in one of Turkey’s attractive resorts. The total duration of your holiday will be 10 nights, however, you can stay longer or shorter, this type of holiday offers great flexibility.
Your Itinerary
Your Two Centre Holiday
You will fly direct from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Manchester or Birmingham to Istanbul. You will be met by our representative and transferred to your hotel. After staying 3 nights and exploring this fascinating city, you will be transferred back to the airport for your internal flight to the nearest domestic airport to your chosen hotel. You will be met by our local representative to transfer you to your resort hotel for a 7 night stay. On your return you will be transferred back to the airport for your return flight. Although your baggage will be checked in straight through to the UK, you will need to change plane in Istanbul.
Our Two Centre programme is so flexible that you can choose any hotel in Istanbul and combine it with any hotel in any Turkish resort in our brochure. Prices are based on staying 3 nights in Istanbul in the 4* Best Western Empire Palace hotel based on Bed & Breakfast, followed by a 7 night stay at your chosen resort hotel. Please note that any hotel in Istanbul can be combined with any resort hotel. If you would like a price for your chosen combination please check with our friendly reservations team who will be pleased to help.
The domestic and international terminals are connected, so you will be able to walk between the two. Usually all airport transfers will be private, unless the unlikely circumstance arises where other clients have made exactly the same arrangements, in which case transfers will be shared. . All our hotels in Istanbul are located in the old district and are 10 minutes walk from Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.

An Introduction to
Cappadocia
The name Cappadocia is thought to mean ‘land of beautiful horses’ and in Roman times the brood mares from Cappadocia were very highly prized indeed.
The region of Cappadocia is visually stunning; this somewhat haunting landscape is best seen from the air. We highly recommend you take a hot air balloon ride during your stay; it is the most popular way to enjoy the amazing scenery. Eerily resembling a moonscape, soft volcanic rock has sculpted caves, clefts and the magical fairy chimneys, named by the early inhabitants of Cappadocia, who believed fairies lived under the ground.
138
Cappadocia’s landscape was formed around 30 million years ago when volcanic activity left the region blanketed with ash. The ash solidified into what is known as ‘volcanic tuff’, this is an easily eroded material and as it wore away over many years, it left the distinctive rock formations seen in Cappadocia today. It would be easy to assume that not much would grow here but the volcanic deposits have actually made this a very fertile area and apricots, sugar beets, chickpeas and cherries are all grown locally. Cappadocia has always been one of the prime grape-growing areas in Anatolia and you will still find many vineyards and wineries here.
BOOK WITH MALVERN WORLD TRAVEL
01684 562406
The area has been important since Hittite times, long before the birth of Jesus, although Cappadocia is also mentioned in the New Testament. Carved into the rock there are many hidden chapels, some dating back to the 4th century AD. There are plenty of things to see and do during Cappadocia holidays and you need a few days to see all of the main attractions. A hot-air balloon ride at dawn should not be missed, and other activities include visiting the historic cave churches, hiking in the valleys and attending chamber music concerts. For souvenir hunters, there are many country crafts including carpet weaving and exquisitely decorated pottery. There are thought to be about 36 underground cities in the region although only a few have been excavated. Derinkuyu is the most well-known and definitely worth a visit.

Cappadocia
This holiday is one of our most popular combinations, and it is not difficult to see why, as it brings together two of Turkey’s most fascinating areas in one enchanting holiday. Flying into Istanbul with the scheduled flight services of Turkish Airlines, you will have the opportunity to spend 3 nights in Istanbul sightseeing and immersing yourself in the culture and ambience of Turkey’s busiest city. There is so much to see and do here that you will be spoilt for choice. You will then fly to Cappadocia to spend 4 nights in this exciting area, which provides a complete contrast as the bustling city is exchanged for this other-worldly landscape.
Prices from £929
Istanbul
In essence, Istanbul has become a modern world city, with buzzing restaurants and bars, thriving art galleries and a wealth of shopping experiences. In Cappadocia, on the other hand, the way of life continues much as it has for centuries, with thriving local handicraft and pottery centres, vineyards and a rich agricultural tradition.
One thing both places have in common is an excellent selection of luxury boutique hotels, bursting with character. Prices are based on staying in the Empire Palace hotel in Istanbul, but other hotels are available at a supplement. For more details of our Istanbul hotels see pages 126-131 and for our Cappadocia hotels see page 141.
During your stay, you will take part in three of our most popular tours, visiting the Fairy Chimneys, Rose Valley and Ihlara Valley, accompanied by a professional English-speaking guide.

Highlight of Tour Despite ample time for sightseeing in Istanbul and relaxation in a coastal resort of your choice, the real highlight is the time spent in Cappadocia, a unique landscape of fairy chimneys and otherworldly rock formations, underneath which lie subterranean cities and underground cave churches. The soft volcanic stone, which covers the region, has been eroded over aeons to create the mystic shapes known as ‘fairy chimneys’. Once the heart of the Hittite Empire, Cappadocia’s first inhabitants discovered that the tone could easily be carved to form dwellings. Later, the early Christians hollowed out underground churches, which they decorated with elaborate frescoes, and troglodyte cities in which they hid from persecution.

General information G E N ER A L I N F O R M AT I O N
Visas/ Passports - see also booking conditions on page 155 British passport-holders must hold a full passport in order to travel, which should be valid for 6 months. When you arrive in Turkey you will need to acquire an entry visa at the airport at a cost of £10. This has to be in the form of a £10 note (Scottish notes are not accepted). You do not need to make a visa application in the United Kingdom in advance of your travel. No visa is required for North Cyprus, nor will you need a Turkish visa if your flight makes a touchdown (or change of aircraft) in Turkey as you will remain in transit. This visa information is applicable for British Citizens. All other nationalities should contact the Turkish Consulate on 020 7589 0949 or the North Cyprus Tourism Centre on 020 7631 1930 for details of visa requirements. 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. Transfers You will be transferred to/from the airport by car or minibus and on some occasions 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 (by car or taxi) 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 visit you during the course of your holiday and 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. Accommodation All self-catering accommodation in our brochure has maid service provided as a minimum every 3 days (including cleaning service and changing sheets) and in private villas once a week. We cannot guarantee maid service every day. Hot water may not be available for kitchen use. In self-catering accommodation you should not expect the kitchen or kitchenette to be as fully equipped as your own. The equipment provided will relate to the number of occupants and some equipment will be to local standards e.g. gas or electric rings rather than a full cooker. Wash basins in Turkey and Northern Cyprus traditionally do not have plugs; therefore, it is advisable to bring your own plug. 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. Where a hotel is described as having (wireless) Internet access, this is usually for those guests travelling with their own laptop. 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. Safety standards are as laid down by the country in question and their regulatory bodies. You should, therefore, take any necessary precautions. 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 bought with you. Transport Dolmus in Turkey: this is like a mini-bus, they have a sign on the front stating the destination but they can stop and pick up/put down at any place en-route. There is a fixed charge, which in resorts is similar to a local bus fare in the UK. Taxis in Turkey: they have a meter like those in the UK. It is advisable to check that the meter is on zero before you start your journey. In Northern Cyprus there is no meter but there is a fixed charge for a certain destination and for places within the city. You may ask for the list from the driver.
Child Reductions To qualify for child reduction the child should share: 1 bedroom accommodation or hotel room with a minimum of 2 adults and 2/3 bedroom accommodation with a minimum of 4 adults. Child: Aged between 2 - under 12 unless otherwise stated in the brochure. Please refer to individual accommodation (some self-catering offers are for up to age 16). Infant: Age under 2. Minimum charge may apply depending on the Airline. Most hotels provide cots free of charge, please request when booking. Winter Holidays During winter our programme operates mainly to Istanbul, Antalya, Belek, Fethiye, Kalkan, Cappadocia and North Cyprus and to some other destinations on a tailor-made basis. In Istanbul we can offer all the hotels in our brochure. In North Cyprus and Antalya area most hotels are available. Summer facilities are not guaranteed for the winter e.g. outdoor swimming pool, leisure facilities etc. You may find exploring exotic Istanbul more attractive away from the heat and the crowds. North Cyprus has always been a traditional long stay destination for winter where there is an average of 6 hours of sunshine each day. Public services in Turkey and North Cyprus should not be expected to be of the same level as the U.K. Power and water shortages, unfortunately, do occur and are beyond our control. Although every effort is made by our accommodation owners to provide alternatives in the event of cuts in these services we cannot guarantee these occurrences will be prevented. 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. Flight Information We are delighted to offer our clients complete flexibility by offering a choice of regional airports and a full range of flight options which allows us to offer a bespoke service and enables us to personalise a package to suit your needs Please call our friendly reservations team who will be able to give you the most up to date information and find your perfect holiday. Here is a summary of some of the differences between the flights which we are able to offer. Scheduled flights These flights allow customers great levels of flexibility and a high standard of service. They include meals and most drinks are complimentary. Please ask at the time of booking about flight upgrades. Charter flights These are flights that may have restrictions in their durations and normally only offer 7 and 14 night options but they do enable us to offer direct flights from most UK airports. Please ask at the time of booking to confirm what is included in your flight, e.g. flight meals/luggage allowance. Low-cost airlines Low-cost airlines when booked in advance can often offer the most competitive prices. These airlines do not include in-flight meals or drinks and baggage will need to be pre-booked and paid in advance. Special Requests Special requests may be made prior to travel. Whilst we endeavour to meet them, unfortunately they are not guaranteed. Under no circumstances will they be accepted by us to form part of our contractual obligations and we will not accept any liability if they are not met. We are happy to give advice and our opinions about suitability of particular properties. All requests should be made in writing. Included in your Holiday Cost • Return flights and baggage allowance as shown on your ticket • On scheduled flights: complimentary drinks including alcoholic drinks • 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 55. Not Included in your Holiday Cost • Holiday insurance, which is a requirement and a condition of booking with us (See page 152) • Transport from your home to airport of departure • Entry visa fee of £10 (Turkey only). • Optional Excursions • Drinks, extra meals & personal expenses • If you pay for your holiday by credit card then please note that the following charges will apply: Visa or Mastercard 2%, American Express 4%.There is no charge for payment by debit cards. • Any Flight supplements
ATOL “All the flights and flight-inclusive holidays in this brochure are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. When you pay you will be supplied with an ATOL Certificate. Please ask for it and check to ensure that everything you booked (flights, hotels and other services) is listed on it. Please see our booking conditions for further information or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.atol.org.uk/ATOLCertificate”
Useful Tips • Driving in Turkey is on the right hand side of the road whilst in Northern Cyprus it is on the left as it is in the U.K. • It is useful to take a 2 pin, round pin plug adaptor with you when you visit Turkey where the voltage is 220 volts. North Cyprus uses the same voltage and plug/socket type as the U.K. • Mosques are usually open all the time, although they do not usually admit visitors during prayer time. Prayer takes place early morning, lunchtime and early evening (dusk). Women should wear headscarves when visiting and all visitors should remove their shoes at the door, provision is usually made for their security. Both men and women should have their legs and shoulders covered - no shorts or vest-tops. • Naturism and topless sunbathing are not common in Turkey, and any kind of nudity in public is frowned upon. • You will find the people of Turkey and North Cyprus not only friendly but very direct in the way that they communicate both in terms of eye contact and speech. • If you intend to take a photograph of a local inhabitant you must ask their permission. • Bargaining should be restricted to souvenir areas and not attempted in restaurants, food stores, dolmus, etc. • Telephone cards or tokens are required for use in public telephones and can be obtained from PTT (Post Office). Calls from hotels tend to be three times more expensive than the public phones. • Some public toilets in rural areas of Turkey are of the traditional “squat” style with water provided instead of toilet paper, you may therefore wish to carry tissues on you when you are out and about. Toilet paper is of course supplied in all our accommodation and in tourist resorts as standard.

We may from time to time inform you of special offers and send you our new brochures. If you do not wish to be included on our mailing list, please let us know in writing and we will remove your address from it. Brochure Images We would like to credit Mr Akin Koç and Mr Alex Cassels and the use of images taken for Anatolian Sky Holidays. Brochure Content At the time of going to press (October 2013), we feel that we have presented a fair and accurate description of resorts and accommodation. Please bear in mind that many facilities e.g. courtesy bus service, entertainment in accommodation, are not under our direct control, and may well be withdrawn or re-introduced. Although we try to ensure that brochure pictures are as accurate as possible at the time of going to print, it is possible that changes will occur to the accommodation or surrounding area, which mean that they may look different by the time you travel. Interior shots, and especially those of individual rooms, are used for illustration purposes only. Rooms can differ quite considerably in aspect so you should not necessarily expect your room to look exactly the same as a room shown in the brochure.

If you have taken out holiday insurance you may be able to recover the cancellation charges or any other losses, please check your policy for details. 7. If we change or cancel your travel arrangements 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: More than 84 days Nil 43 - 83 days £5 29 - 42 days £10 15 - 28 days £15 0 - 14 days £20 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: More than 84 days Nil 43 - 83 days £5 29 - 42 days £10 15 - 28 days £15 0 - 14 days £20 The compensation that we offer does not exclude you from claiming more if you are entitled to do so. Advance registration. At the time of booking it may not be possible to confirm flight details, due to airline schedules not being finalised. Should this be the case, you will be informed at the time of booking and on your confirmation invoice. The deposit paid will confirm your accommodation only. If your chosen flights are not confirmed or a suitable alternative offered, a full refund of any money received by us will be given. Force Majeure: This means that 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. 8. If You Have A Complaint 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.

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.

9. Our liability to you 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. Excursions Excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on holiday are not part of your package holiday provided by us. Your contract will be with the operator of the excursion or tour and not with us; in this case, we are not responsible for the provision of the excursion or tour or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the excursion operator. 14. 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. 15. 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. 16. 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.

We will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where we aren’t able do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). We provide full financial protection for our package holidays that do not include a flight, by way of a bond held by ABTA The Travel Association (V4937). 3. ABTA We are a Member of ABTA, membership number G4234/V4937. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you an arbitration scheme for the resolution of disputes arising out of this contract. The scheme is arranged by ABTA and administered independently. It is a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on you for costs. The upper limit on claims is £5,000 per person and £25,000 per booking form. The scheme doesn’t apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. It can however deal with claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,500 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. Your request for arbitration must be received by ABTA within eighteen months of the date of return from holiday. For injury and illness claims, you can request the ABTA Mediation Procedure and we have the option to agree to mediation. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com 4. Your holiday price (i) We reserve the right to alter the prices of any of the holidays shown in our brochure. You will be advised of the current price of the holiday that you wish to book before your contract is confirmed. ii) To confirm your holiday you will be required to pay the appropriate deposit and any other applicable supplements due at the time of booking. For example: when we need to pay a hotel in advance. The balance of the price of your travel arrangements must be paid at least 12 weeks before your departure date. Full payment is required for all bookings made no later than 12 weeks of departure. If the deposit and/or balance is not paid in time, we shall cancel your travel arrangements. If the balance is not paid in time we shall retain your deposit. Please note that all payments made by visa or mastercard for your final balance payment (this excludes your deposit payment) will be subject to a 2% surcharge. American Express is subject to a 4% surcharge. All monies you pay to the travel agent are held by them on our behalf at all times. (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. 5. If you change your booking 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. IMPORTANT Some travel arrangements (e.g. contracted charter airlines flight tickets or flight tickets purchased from certain airlines and certain hotel bookings) may not be refundable or transferable after a reservation has been made. An alteration request may incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that particular part of the holiday arrangement.
