The cost of CyberKnife treatment in Turkey generally ranges from $4,800 to $9,700. Prices vary depending on the number of treatment sessions, the clinic’s technology, and the experience of the medical team. In the United States, the average cost is $55,000 (per ASTRO). CyberKnife in Turkey is typically about 87% less expensive than in the U.S.
Turkish packages usually cover pre-treatment imaging (MRI or CT scans), treatment planning, the actual CyberKnife sessions, anesthesia (if needed), and follow-up consultations. In the U.S., imaging, planning, and follow-ups are often billed separately from the main procedure. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.

In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. 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.
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.
