Everything is super ❤️❤️❤️🙌 🕊️ Hugs to everyone, and if we go anywhere, it will be only to you ❤️
Initially I would like to thank Julia, the curator of Bukimed. For accompaniment, for support on the phone, for finding the clinic and doctor, for the hotel and everything else. Yulia you are great ❤️🕊️Когда I will contact Bukimed next time, I will ask for you. Thank you for the transfer. Thank you for the hotel. At the reception everyone speaks perfect English. That's great. In the kitchen the cooks are super ❤️ my daughter liked everything very much. The food is super ❤️ Hello to Tempo Chaglayan Hotel, from Anastasia and Eva, we were there from 14.04.24 to 20 . 04.24 to translators Nadezhda and Madina a big hello and a heart ❤️🕊️🕊️. Liv Clinic is very beautiful ❤️ Professor Cardiologist Batur Genenc Kanar Professional . Very grateful for competence and for honesty in many points . Thank you for the fact that the doctor said to wait with the operation for my daughter, on the heart, that it is necessary to wait a little more and understand the drugs. He didn't do the operation for the sake of money as soon as we arrived. He didn't prescribe unnecessary tests. The doctor said that these analyses are not necessary. ( One genetic test was enough) . I am thankful that Professor Batur Genench Kanar, having prescribed serious pills for my daughter, left his watsap number and said that he is always in touch and at any moment you can call and write directly to the doctor. Which is very convenient for me. We are from another country and it would be expensive to fly to Istanbul for every question. At the moment we are doing everything as the doctor said. We give all the prescriptions to the child. In a month the doctor said to write him an ECG. And there they will decide how to proceed. I am very grateful to everyone who met us on this trip. Everything is super ❤️❤️❤️🙌 🕊️ Hugs to everyone, and if we go anywhere, it will be only to you ❤️.
Loved it 🥰 Clinic , Doctor cardiologist Batur Genenc Kanar , hotel , food , interpreters Nadezhda and Madina , Julia from Bukimed

"I really was impressed with not only professionalism, but what is very important for me, a humane attitude!"
Thank you for choosing the Memorial Bahçelievler clinic, for which many thanks to Inga Lutsunyak, who did a really huge job, taking into account my unusual case. When traveling, everything was very organized, everything was clear and clear, without delay, the translator and the doctor of the clinic were extremely polite and caring. Thanks to Professor Dr. Ibrahim Sari, the consultation was carried out in great detail, with care and attention, with very necessary advice, thanks to the translator of the clinic Iryna Topaloglu, I really was impressed with not only professionalism, but what is very important for me, a humane attitude! Payment was at the price that was originally said, they did not try to do unnecessarily unnecessary procedures, did not overcharge. True, I didn’t expect it, they scared me so much, but everything turned out to be wrong, thanks to you

Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

The main advantage of Turkish resorts is the long beach season. On the Mediterranean coast, it starts in April and lasts until November. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea — from May to October. The most comfortable time for swimming is from mid-June to the end of October. A large influx of tourists is in July-August, when the air temperature is +38°C, and the water warms up to +27°C.

Do I need a visa?

In 2020, the Republic of Turkey has visa-free agreements with 89 states. Some foreigners are exempted from obtaining entry visas, others are required to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa), and still others must apply for a visa at Turkish missions abroad.
