April to June and September to November are the most comfortable months for sightseeing. July and August are hot at archaeological sites but good for the beach. Winter is quieter and colder, with rain on the coasts and snow in Cappadocia.
At Felicity Travel, we design tailor-made Turkey tours for visitors who want more than standard sightseeing. As a founder-led travel company with deep local expertise, we specialize in private journeys that reveal Türkiye’s remarkable history, rich cultural heritage, exceptional cuisine and breathtaking landscapes — at a pace and depth that suits you personally.
Türkiye is one of the world’s most layered destinations. A land where Asia meets Europe, where Göbekli Tepe, one of the oldest known monumental sites in the world, stands, and where ancient Greek, Roman and Ottoman civilizations have each left an extraordinary mark. This history has shaped a vibrant living culture — reflected in the country’s architecture, traditions, hospitality and food. Beyond its heritage, Türkiye offers stunning Aegean and Mediterranean coastlines, the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia, and boutique and luxury hotels, from cave hotels in Cappadocia to hotels on the Bosphorus.
Whether you are drawn to ancient ruins, coastal beauty, culinary experiences or all of the above — we design your journey around what matters most to you.
FELICITY Travel is a family-run travel agency (TÜRSAB A-group license No. 11471) led by Ertunga Ecir, a licensed professional guide since 2001, and Maria Ecir, who guides in English and Spanish. Explore all our luxury Turkey tours or meet our team.
The process is straightforward. You share your preferred travel dates, duration and the destinations in Türkiye you want to experience — and our expert team crafts your tailored itinerary within 24 hours.
From there, we curate the finest hotels matched to your preferences: think extraordinary cave hotels in Cappadocia, elegant properties overlooking the Bosphorus, or intimate boutique stays along the Aegean coast. Where it suits your itinerary, we can add private yacht cruises along the Turquoise Coast or Bosphorus, exclusive wine tastings, authentic home-cooked meals and genuine local experiences that go far beyond standard sightseeing.
Every journey is fully private. You travel in premium vehicles with professional drivers and carefully selected expert local guides. We manage every detail behind the scenes — so you arrive at each destination with nothing to think about except enjoying it.

April to June and September to November are the most comfortable months for sightseeing. July and August are hot at archaeological sites but good for the beach. Winter is quieter and colder, with rain on the coasts and snow in Cappadocia.
Istanbul, Cappadocia and the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts are among the most visited regions of Turkey. Travel advice changes over time, so we recommend checking your government's current travel advisory before you book, such as the U.S. State Department or the UK Foreign Office. Our guides follow local conditions throughout your trip. If official government warnings make travel to Turkey impossible, your deposit is fully refunded under our Terms & Conditions.
It depends on the part of Turkey you visit. In western part of Turkey - Istanbul, Mediterranean and Aegean coastal areas, you can wear whatever you want. Central and eastern Turkey is more conservative, so you should definitely avoid revealing clothing. Wearing appropriate clothing and a headscarf is appreciated in mosques. For more detail, read our practical guide to what to wear in Turkey.

Once you confirm and book your tour, we will send you a secure payment link or our bank details so you can pay the 20% deposit. The remaining balance can be settled during your stay in Turkey. Please make sure to read our Terms & Conditions before proceeding with payment.
We recommend booking your tour at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if you plan to travel during the peak seasons (spring and autumn). Early booking ensures the best availability for top-rated boutique hotels (like cave hotels in Cappadocia) and secures preferred guides and domestic flight schedules. However, we can also accommodate last-minute requests depending on availability.

Yes, because all our tours are 100% private and tailor-made, we offer high flexibility. While major elements like hotels and domestic flights are pre-booked, your private guide and our operations team can easily adjust daily pacing, sightseeing stops, or activities on the ground to match your mood and preferences.
A 20% deposit confirms your booking and is normally non-refundable. If you need to cancel for personal reasons, we may allow you to use the deposit as credit for a future booking. The deposit is fully refunded if travel becomes impossible because of war, a natural disaster or official government warnings against travel to Turkey, or in case of a serious illness or the death of an immediate family member, with supporting documents. You can review all the details in our Terms & Conditions before confirming your booking.
The price depends on the season, the length of your trip, the hotel category and the number of travelers, so every proposal is priced individually. Our sample itineraries show what a real journey includes and costs, for example our 10-day luxury private tour and our 15-day private history tour.
We use a Mercedes Vito VIP for up to 2 travelers and a Mercedes Sprinter for groups of 3 or more, always with a professional driver.
