If you are traveling to a country that you’ve never been before, you should need a travel agent. Most times planing a trip to abroad is not easy a you thing. You need someone to guide you: You will have tons of questions like where to go, what to eat, when to travel. You may mostly find these information on internet but when it comes to cultural differences you may not find exact information you need.
What does a travel agent do?
An experienced travel agent firstly knows which sites are better to visit. That helps to to save time and see the best valuable parts of the city. If you are not planing to stay for weeks you won’t want to waste your time looking best views or get lost in the city.
Your agent will offer you the best possible hotels to accommodate. In your country a 4-star hotel may be enough for you but in a foreign country maybe you should prefer a better hotel or every 4-star hotel is not located close to the city. I bet, you won’t want to take a taxi for lunch or dinner everyday…
Besides, what if you had a trouble while you are on vacation? A local person that you know will surely solve problems faster than any others. As CityOfSultans we care our guests and offer 7/24 COS travel agent to make you feel comfortable. You can either call and ask for a restaurant or best place to watch the Golden Horn or Bosphorus.

What is e-Visa?
e-Visa is an endorsement that allows the bearer to enter Turkey. It replaces “sticker”- and “stamp-type” visas formerly issued at the border crossing. Applicants obtain their visa electronically after entering required information and making payment by credit card. After successful application, e-Visa is e-mailed to the applicant. Applicants must print out their e-Visa, show it to airport officials and customs officers and carry it with them at all times during the travel.
e-Visa is only valid for tourism or trade purposes. For other purposes such as work or study, an application through our Embassies or Consulates must be submitted. Turkish authorities can deny entrance of a holder of e-Visa to Turkey in certain cases. Holders of visas issued by Turkish embassies or consulates are subject to the same procedure too, thus can be denied entrance.
First of all Turkey tour is a good option to include into your travel plans. You need to know that Ankara is the capital of Turkey. You really need to go and visit Ataturk’s grave which is called Anitkabir. Ataturk is Turkey’s hero and he fought for his country. He made lots of revolutions and presented lots to Turks. Another city you need to know is Istanbul where the population is too much. The reason of the population is, people in east migrated years ago and they are still migrating. Because in east, they don’t have enough possibilities to work or study. Finding a job or studying is easy in Istanbul compared to east. If you think to make a Turkey tour, you really need to go south. In south of Turkey, you can have fun because of the sunny weather, sand and the sea.
You can stay in a hotel in Bodrum, and swim for days and days. Izmir is a nice city to feel the crowd and peace together. If you are planning to make a Turkey tour don’t go back before visiting Izmir. There are little villages in there which you can feel yourself in peace. You can eat fruits from trees and taste the wonderful fruits you ve ever eat. Up in North is a place all green. It’s called Karadeniz and its full of green. There is always rainy in there. People in Karadeniz are sometimes funny sometimes cunning. You can breathe the fresh air in there totally. Turkey is a good destination to travel. You can take photographs of Turkey, and tell about the tour you ve made. Have fun.
Turkey (Turkish: Turkiye), known officially as the Republic of Turkey, is a Eurasian country that stretches across the Anatolian peninsula in Western Asia and Thrace in the Balkan region of southeastern Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries: Bulgaria to the northwest; Greece to the west; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, Azerbaijan (the exclave of Nakhchivan) and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the southeast. The Mediterranean Sea and Cyprus are to the south; the Aegean Sea to the west; and the Black Sea is to the north.
Separating Anatolia and Thrace are the Sea of Marmara and the Turkish Straits (the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles), which are commonly reckoned to delineate the boundary between Europe and Asia, thereby making Turkey a country of significant geostrategic importance. Ethnic Turks form the majority of the population. The predominant religion in Turkey is Islam and its official language is Turkish.
Turkey is the successor state to the Ottoman Empire. It is a democratic, secular, unitary, constitutional republic, with an ancient and historical cultural heritage. Its political system was established in 1923 under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, following the fall of the Ottoman Empire in the aftermath of World War I. Since then, Turkey has become increasingly integrated with the West through membership in organizations such as the Council of Europe, NATO, OECD, OSCE and the G-20 major economies.
Turkey began full membership negotiations with the European Union in 2005, having been an associate member of the European Economic Community since 1963 and having reached a customs union agreement in 1995. Turkey has also fostered close cultural, political, economic and industrial relations with the Eastern world, particularly with the Middle East and the Turkic states of Central Asia, through membership in organizations such as the Organisation of the Islamic Conference and Economic Cooperation Organization. Turkey is classified as a developed country by the CIA and as a regional power by political scientists and economists worldwide.
