    There aren't any.
    Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.

    Just book it yourself - google flights for the flights, trivago for hotels. Check trip advisor reviews before booking and it's best to book flights directly with the airline rather than some unknown 3rd party site.

    I've been going to Turkey independently for ten years. Dead easy. Book flights, book hotel, arrange taxi transfer job done.

    So where in Turkey are you going?

    As others have said it's an easy place to DIY

    No TA is reliable, cheapest or even honest IMHO :cool:

    Been several times for work

    Taxi drivers-when the road is clear- 04:00 in IST think that driving at 100mph is normal

    No back seat seat belts that work either :eek:
