More than a treatment destination

A holiday and world-class care, in one trip

Türkiye welcomes over 50 million visitors a year — for good reason. Combine your treatment in Istanbul or Izmir with a curated escape to Cappadocia's hot-air balloons, the Aegean coast, or Istanbul's bazaars. Your UK Coordinator handles every detail.

Why Türkiye

Four reasons travellers and patients choose Türkiye

It's not just about the surgery — it's about the experience around it.

The crossroads of two continents

Where Europe meets Asia: Roman ruins, Ottoman palaces, Byzantine domes, contemporary galleries — within one short flight from London.

Healthcare excellence at fair value

JCI-accredited hospitals, internationally trained surgeons, and modern facilities — at a fraction of UK private prices, even with travel and accommodation.

Climate that lets you recover well

Mild Mediterranean summers, gentle autumns, mild winters on the south coast — choose the season that matches your recovery and travel style.

Hospitality that becomes a memory

Türk misafirperverliği — Turkish hospitality is famously warm. Five-star hotels, Bosphorus dinners, hammam ceremonies, and a welcome that feels personal.

FAQ

Common questions about combining tourism + treatment

How long should I stay in Türkiye?
For most aesthetic procedures (rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, breast, BBL), we recommend 7–10 days. Dental and hair work needs less — 3–5 days. We design the schedule so you have both medical recovery and at least 2–3 cultural days before flying home.
Can I travel right after surgery?
For surgical procedures, we ask you to wait 5–7 days before flying. Day-trips within Türkiye (e.g. Cappadocia by domestic flight) are usually possible after 4–5 days, depending on your surgeon's clearance.
Is Türkiye safe for solo female travellers?
Yes. Istanbul, Izmir, Cappadocia, Antalya and Bodrum are well-trodden tourist destinations with excellent infrastructure. Your UK Coordinator pairs you with a patient host who speaks English and accompanies you for transfers and key moments.
Can a partner or family member come with me?
Absolutely. Companion accommodation in your recovery hotel is included or available at preferential rates. Many couples plan their trip as a small holiday around the medical phase.
What about food and special diets?
Turkish cuisine is famously varied — from Ottoman classics to coastal seafood and a strong vegetarian tradition. We brief partner hotels and restaurants on any dietary needs, halal or otherwise.
Do I need a visa from the UK?
UK passport holders do not need a visa for stays under 90 days. We share an up-to-date checklist with travel essentials when you book.
