Dr
Great clinic! I would like to say to each employee a huge THANK YOU for their kindness and sincere desire to help in any matter! Was in the box before, during and after bone marrow transplantation. All this time, the desire was felt and the efforts of the staff were visible to alleviate the condition, cheer up and please. The conditions in the wards are more than good. Everything is tailored for the weakened patient and his comfort. Dr. Zafer inspires absolute confidence! A genius in his field. He will always listen and try to help. When communicating with him, the understanding comes that your health comes first for him. This is the case when in front of you is a good person and a professional in his field !!!

"I liked the service very much, a completely different level compared to medicine in Ukraine
I liked the service very much, a completely different level compared to medicine in Ukraine. The professor immediately called for trust, transfer, settlement, everything was very clear and fast. The only thing was a hitch immediately upon arrival, the attendant was not immediately found, but they turned to the airport staff and they were happy to help to contact. He was at the airport, just a little apart. The rest of the stay was very comfortable and did not require anything from our side. Everyone was accompanied by companions, translators and medical staff.

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.
