Old City: Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar
A guide takes you through Sultanahmet. You visit Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. Lunch is kebabs or fish at a local place. In the afternoon you wander the Grand Bazaar, a maze of 4,000 shops. Entry fees apply at some sites and we list them with your quote. This is the heart of Turkey holiday packages from Nairobi.
- Day 3
Bosphorus cruise and spice market

- Day 4
Free day in Istanbul
Pick your own day. Many guests visit the Dolmabahce Palace, cross to the Asian side by ferry or take a day trip to the Princes’ Islands. Others shop. Ask us for a private driver or a guide. Eat baklava before bed.

Turkey Visa for Kenyan Passport Holders
This is the step that decides your trip, so read it first. Turkey runs an online visa system, but Kenyans qualify for it only if they hold a valid Schengen, US, UK or Irish visa or residence permit. The fee has been about USD 51. Rules change, so we confirm the current rule when you book.
If you do not hold one of those visas, you apply at the Turkish embassy in Nairobi. That route needs bank statements, a hotel booking and a flight plan and it can take several weeks. Apply early. Turkey holiday packages from Nairobi should never be paid for in full before the visa path is clear.
- Passport valid for at least 6 months, with blank pages
- Bank statements, employment letter and a return flight plan
- Hotel bookings for every night, which we supply
- We prepare your supporting documents and guide you through the steps
- Start 6 to 8 weeks before travel, earlier for school holidays

Money, Etiquette and Safety in Turkey
Cards work in most places, but Mpesa does not. Carry some US dollars and swap them at a city exchange counter. Tip about 10 percent in restaurants. Bazaar sellers expect you to bargain, so smile and start at half.
Turkey is safe for visitors in tourist areas. Watch for pickpockets on trams and in crowded markets. Dress modestly in mosques and remove shoes at the door.
