For those looking for treasures we recommend visiting the old city, where the Fluted Minaret Mosque is deserving of attention, a Roman port rising to 38 m, which today serves as a yacht harbour, surrounded by the historic suburb of Kaleici, where while strolling along the winding streets we can admire the Ottoman buildings divided here and there by ruins from Roman times and the Hadrian's Gate, which was built in 130 B.C. to honour the visit of emperor Hadrian and his wife Sabina. It is also worth visiting the beautifully situated city park, which seems the perfect spot for long walks and leisure by the relaxing sound of fountains in the surroundings of exotic plants.
Lara – is the newest and most modern hotel district in Türkiye. It is here that the highest-class, only 5-star hotels are situated, by a beautiful wide beach, where bars, taverns and shopping centres are developing quickly. It is here that the world-famous hotels are located, such as Top Kapi, that reminds of the palace in Istambul; the Kremlin, as if completely transferred from Moscow, and Venezia, where you can relax in "Doge's Palace".
Pilot: Tourists are looked after by a Polish resident, whose tasks include help upon arrival, departure and stay, as well as registration for local trips.
Visas: required; tourist visa is valid 90 days for a period of 180 days (the visa entitles you to repeatedly cross the border); to obtain a visa, your passport must meet the following requirements:

A tourist visa must be obtained through the E-visa system (https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/; cost: 20 USD/person).

It is recommended to purchase visas via the electronic system. When crossing the Turkish border the person entering may be asked to submit valid medical insurance (for Itaka Customers it is the travel document that contains the insurance certificate no.) or proof of means of subsistence.
