Practical details
Before You Book
What the extra night and separate departure day add to the three guided routes.
- What does the fourth day add?
The three guided routes are the same Red, Yellow and Green Tours as in the three-day package. This stay adds a third hotel night and free time after breakfast on day 4. Your flight follows that free morning.
- What is arranged for the free morning?
Hotel breakfast, the airport shuttle and the flight to Istanbul are included. There is no guided visit on day 4. Lunch and any activities you choose during your free time are separate.
- Is the balloon flight on the last morning?
It is scheduled as an optional extra for day 2, before breakfast and the Yellow Tour. The later mornings provide possible alternatives if weather cancels it, but a new flight depends on approved conditions and available seats.
