The
facilities on hotels
& accommodations pages have
been evaluated and recommended by our guests through time.
Some of the accommodations listed on these page will be
a get-away from the mainstream. On the other hand, our inventory
is not limited to those on the list, so for alternatives
and availability, please use the form on the reservations
page. |

Rent
a car option is always there for the independent traveler.
You may rent a car, and drive around the countryside to
discover off the beaten path villages, and remote sites
that a handful of people know. On the other hand, a private
car and a driver will give you quite a flexibility as you
travel, especially in Istanbul. You may go for either option
- or both - based on your travel plans. Take a look at the
alternatives on private
vehicle - rent a car page. |

Blue Voyage,
you will find private yacht and cabin charter options, alternative
routes, and tips you need to know before you take a charter. |

You
may travel with a certified guide, or an expert for the
entire trip. Or, you may have a specific interest, and prefer
the guidance of a local expert, or a curator at your destination.
Or a local host may lead you around to explore his village,
and show you behind the scene activities going on. |
