Bone marrow biopsy in Turkey typically costs from $200 to $700. The final price depends on the city, the hematologist's expertise, and any needed lab analysis. Patients save approximately 82% compared to the US, where this diagnostic costs $2,200 on average. Some clinics in Istanbul and Ankara include consultations within their packages.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing a bundled program may offer better value than booking a biopsy alone. For example, some clinics offer comprehensive hematology packages for approximately $3,600. These programs include a PET/CT, MRI, multiple consultations, and even VIP transfers from the airport. Anadolu Medical Center is a top choice as it partners with Johns Hopkins Medicine International. This clinic also features a world-renowned hematologist who founded Turkey’s largest bone marrow transplant center. Medical Park Bahcelievler Hospital is another leader, performing more bone marrow transplants than any other Turkish clinic lately.

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.
