have alternative sites to compensate for any closures.

Turkey offers excellent shopping opportunities for
handcrafted items, such as Turkish rugs/carpets, jewelry, leather, textiles,
and ceramics. We recommend reliable and reasonably priced shopping venues
during our tours, with guaranteed vendors. Our guide will direct you to such
stores and provide information regarding shopping matters. Some of these venues
offer group discounts.

in the tourism industry in line with customer expectations. So you can tip the
