Planning a trip to Turkey? Here are the most commonly asked questions by travelers, answered by our expert team at Turkey Coach Tours, a TURSAB-licensed travel agency (License #11023) with years of experience organizing tours across Turkey.
Yes, Turkey is considered safe for tourists in 2026. Major tourist destinations such as Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, Pamukkale, and Antalya are well-patrolled and tourist-friendly. Turkey welcomed over 50 million international visitors in recent years, making it one of the world’s top tourism destinations. As a licensed travel agency, Turkey Coach Tours ensures all our tours follow strict safety protocols and are led by certified local guides who know the areas thoroughly.
The best time to visit Turkey depends on your interests. April to June and September to November offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds — ideal for sightseeing in Istanbul, Cappadocia, and Ephesus. July and August are perfect for coastal destinations like Antalya and Bodrum. Winter months are great for hot air balloon rides in Cappadocia with snow-capped landscapes and for skiing in Uludağ.
Many nationalities can obtain an e-Visa online at evisa.gov.tr before arrival. Citizens of some countries can enter visa-free for short stays. We recommend checking the official Turkish e-Visa website for the most up-to-date requirements for your nationality. Our team can also assist you with visa guidance during your booking process.
The official currency is the Turkish Lira (TRY). However, US Dollars and Euros are widely accepted in tourist areas. Credit cards are accepted in most hotels, restaurants, and shops. ATMs are readily available throughout Turkey. Turkey Coach Tours accepts payments in USD, EUR, and TRY.
