Terms of use

Turquosian publishes travel guidance and planning tools for Türkiye. We research carefully and date our claims, but opening hours, prices, timetables, entry rules, and local conditions change without asking us. The site is provided as is: always verify the details that matter — tickets, visas, schedules, advisories — with the official source before you rely on them. Where a claim is time-sensitive, the site says so and points to that source.

Turquosian is not a travel agency, tour operator, or booking platform. When you book a hotel, tour, ticket, or transport through an outbound link, your contract is with that provider, under their terms. Payment, cancellation, and service questions belong with them.

Some outbound links are affiliate links: if you book through one, the partner may pay Turquosian a commission. That does not change what you pay the partner, and booking direct with an operator can be cheaper. Two commitments stand behind every such link: commercial relationships never change which places we rank as essential, and every affiliate link is labelled where it appears and marked as sponsored in the page code. What we recommend is decided editorially first; whether it can be booked through a partner comes second. The full policy is on the affiliate disclosure page.

The planner, share links, and PDF export are free to use for personal trip planning. Do not use the site to publish scraped copies of its content, to send spam through shared itineraries, or to misrepresent Turquosian as the operator of any tour or service.

The site's text, design, and original imagery belong to Turquosian or are used under licence, with attribution where the licence asks for it. Quote briefly with a link by all means; wholesale republication needs our written permission.

To the extent the law allows, Turquosian is not liable for losses arising from reliance on site content or from services booked with third parties. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited. These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. If a term changes materially, the date at the top of this page changes with it.

Questions about these terms: the contact page is the door.
