Turkey family holiday

Small group family holiday
This is a 'small group family adventure' - typically you will join several other families and travel in a group of approx. 16 people. The trips are great value and a great way for you and your children to meet new people! While itineraries are pre-planned there is some flexibility and you'll have plenty of time to yourselves. Most adventure kids tend to be aged between 7 and 15, but some are younger (minimum age is usually 5) and some older (perhaps travelling as part of a larger family group). Please check with the operator to confirm the minimum age for this trip

How this holiday makes a difference

Responsible mission: As adventure travellers we relish and celebrate the diversity of the world. We also recognise our obligation to protect the environments that we explore. Our aim is to tread lightly, whilst contributing to maintain the world’s culture and nature, and most importantly to engage the help of all our customers to utilise the potential of tourism as a tool to aid sustainable development. We believe that responsible travellers are welcome in the places that they visit.

We stay in small, family owned accommodation, using the services of a Turkish local agent. We also use many local service provides, from gulet crew to jeep drivers and restaurateurs. This means more of the money we spend goes into the pockets of local people. Your accommodation in Karaagac is a converted Turkish farm and prides itself on offering meals prepared with locally grown produce.

Responsible code: Being Responsible is at the heart of everything our company does - full details of our code can be found on our website. The local supplier for this trip will promote our responsible travel code throughout your adventure. You will also receive specific information on this trip’s responsibility in your trip notes.

Helping to minimise negative impact:
All of our customers are invited to offset their international flight emissions. Contributions go to the Blue Ventures Carbon Offset program, a non-profit organisation which provides solar stoves for subsistence communities in Madagascar, benefiting the people and protecting the environment. We also contribute £2 per person towards offsetting of your in-country travel. We fully offset all emissions from our staff travel and run an energy efficient office.

Giving something back: We have a foundation that collects the funds that you donate to us to support our projects. All our customers are invited to make a £1 per person contribution to the foundation at the time of booking. We will match every contribution that you make with our own £1. You as a customer choose where these funds are used from a shortlist of nominated projects – so it really is YOUR foundation.

Partnerships: As a company we support The Travel Foundation, a UK charity that has been established to promote responsible travel practises throughout the whole of the travel industry. We also work with a number of charity partners who work in the destinations that we visit; including Friends of Conservation and Born Free Foundation.

Reviewed 02 Aug 2008 by Kate Billingham4 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


All the different activities. We thoroughly enjoyed the boat trips, especially the gulet and being able to experience the mud baths.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Be prepared for lots of travelling throughout the duration of this holiday.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Yes, all local produce was used and, although this is a bit of a criticism, the cleanliness of the gulet cabins indicated that effective cleaning products were not used... if any cleaning products!

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


My two children gave it 9.5 out of 10. The only reason it didn't get 10 was because they didn't like all the internal travelling.

Read the operator's response here:

It is good to hear how much the children enjoyed the holiday though there is undeniably a long transfer to Kas. However, we feel it is worth the drive to experience the relatively unspoilt charm of the town and to get away from the main tourist areas. We have followed up the comments on the cleanliness of the cabins with our Turkish agent and whilst this is not a problem we have previously experienced we will obviously keep a close eye on things.
