Why Run Turkey Through Safaryar Holidays?
A destination management company replaces a dozen local suppliers with a single contract, a single invoice, and a single team that answers when something changes at 2am. Here is what that means for your agency.
One Contract, Every Service
Hotels, coaches, guides, tickets, restaurants and events booked and invoiced together. No chasing separate vendors, no reconciling ten currencies — one accountable partner across the whole trip.
Nationwide Ground Reach
Live operations from Istanbul to Cappadocia, the Turkish Riviera and the Aegean coast. We move seamless multi-city itineraries that would otherwise need a different agent in every region.
Direct Hotel Contracts
Confidential net rates across 257+ directly contracted hotels — not resold bed-bank inventory. You see the net price and set your own margin, with real allotment during peak season.
Tailor-Made Itineraries
Modular components you assemble your way — classic sightseeing, honeymoon, religious, luxury or adventure programmes designed around your client profile and budget, not a fixed catalogue.
Licensed & Insured
TURSAB-licensed operations, registered guides and licensed vehicles on every service. Your clients are covered, and your agency's reputation is protected on the ground.
24/7 On-Trip Support
A multilingual operations desk in English, Turkish, Arabic and Persian on call throughout the journey. Flight delays, room changes and last-minute add-ons are handled without pulling you in.
How We Work Together
From first enquiry to the airport goodbye, the flow is built to keep you selling while we operate.
Brief Us
Send the destinations, dates, group size and style. Our destination specialists return a costed, ready-to-sell itinerary with net pricing — usually within one business day.
Confirm & Sell
Approve the programme and we lock hotels, transfers, guides and tickets against real allotment. You market it under your own brand and margin with confirmation documents in hand.

What Sets Us Apart
Plenty of companies call themselves a Turkey DMC. Here is why agencies keep sending their clients through Safaryar Holidays.
Owned Operations, Not a Broker
We run our own ground desk and hold direct contracts with 257+ hotels rather than passing your file to another local agent. Fewer hands on the booking means fewer mistakes, faster answers and pricing you can actually trust.
Built for B2B, Confidential Pricing
We work only with the trade. Your clients never see our name unless you want them to, net rates stay confidential, and 370+ agency partners already resell our services under their own brand.
Multi-City Itineraries Done Right
Turkey is rarely one city. Coordinating hotels, domestic transfers and guides across Istanbul, Cappadocia and the coast is where most operators drop the ball — it is exactly what our operations team is built to keep seamless.
Real Local Knowledge
Our team lives and works across these destinations. We know which cave hotel actually has the view, which coastal road floods, and which balloon operator has the best safety record — judgement that protects your client relationships.
Sourcing rooms in volume? We also operate as an Istanbul hotel wholesaler for the wider network.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a DMC in Turkey actually handle for my agency?
We act as your local operations arm on the ground. That covers contracted hotel rooms, airport and intercity transfers, licensed guides, entrance tickets, restaurant and event reservations, MICE logistics, and 24/7 on-trip support. You sell the destination to your clients; we deliver everything inside Turkey under one accountable point of contact.
Do you cover the whole of Turkey or only Istanbul?
The whole country. While our head office is in Istanbul, we operate nationwide — Antalya and the Turkish Riviera, Cappadocia, Bodrum and the Aegean, Izmir and Ephesus, Pamukkale, the Black Sea, and Eastern Turkey. Multi-city itineraries are our core business, so a single booking can move a group from Istanbul to Cappadocia to Antalya without you coordinating three separate suppliers.
Can you handle both large groups and individual FIT travellers?
Yes. Our group desk manages series, incentives, and ad-hoc groups with dedicated allotment and coach logistics, while FIT bookings run through the same portal with instant hotel confirmation and modular tours. The same contracts and net pricing apply whether you send two travellers or two hundred.
Are you a licensed and insured operator?
Yes. Safaryar Holidays is a TURSAB-licensed agency (No. 10028), which is the mandatory regulatory license for operating inbound tourism in Turkey. Every transfer and tour runs with licensed vehicles and TURSAB-registered guides, and our ground operations carry the insurance cover your clients expect.
How do we work together — pricing and payment?
You receive confidential net rates and set your own margin; there are no per-booking commissions taken from you. Established partners qualify for credit terms, and we settle in USD, EUR, GBP, or TRY. Onboarding takes about 24 hours once we verify your agency credentials.
How do you coordinate multi-city itineraries so nothing falls through the cracks between cities?
Each multi-city file gets a single operations owner in Istanbul who tracks the whole route rather than separate city desks handing off blind. Domestic flight or coach connections, hotel check-in and check-out timing, and local guide handovers are locked into one master itinerary before departure, so a group moving from Istanbul to Cappadocia to Antalya arrives to a confirmed room and driver at every stop, with the same account manager answering questions throughout.
Do you arrange domestic flights between cities, or just ground transfers?
Both. We book domestic flight segments between Istanbul, Antalya, Cappadocia's Nevsehir and Kayseri airports, Izmir, and other Turkish hubs alongside private ground transfers, so your agency gets one itinerary covering the full journey rather than booking flights and cars separately. Domestic air sectors typically save several hours over the equivalent road route on longer city pairs, letting you offer a faster multi-region route without extra coordination on your side.
What languages do your licensed guides speak?
Our TURSAB-registered guide network covers English, Turkish, Arabic, and Persian across every region we operate in, matched to your clients' language before the trip starts. Guides are licensed under Turkish tourism law rather than freelance contractors, so your agency inherits real accountability and continuity if a client requests the same guide across multiple cities on one itinerary.
Can you build religious and halal-friendly itineraries across Turkey?
Yes. We route programs to landmark religious and historic sites nationwide — Istanbul's mosques and Hagia Sophia, Konya's Rumi heritage sites, and Southeastern Turkey's ancient centers — with halal dining options and prayer-time-aware scheduling built into the day plan. This is a standard request from our Iranian and wider MENA agency partners, and our guides are briefed on the cultural context each stop requires.
Can a single MICE program span more than one city?
Yes, our MICE desk regularly runs incentive groups and conferences that pair business days in Istanbul with a leisure extension in Antalya or Cappadocia under one contract. Venue sourcing, gala dinners, breakout logistics, and the leisure add-on are quoted together, invoiced together, and run by the same on-site coordinator team, so the corporate and leisure legs read as one program rather than two bookings stitched together.
What happens if something goes wrong on the ground outside Istanbul?
Every region we operate in has a local contact who can reach the client within the hour, backed by our 24/7 multilingual operations desk in Istanbul. Whether it is a missed domestic connection, a weather-delayed transfer in Cappadocia, or a last-minute room change on the coast, the same operations file is updated in real time so you see exactly what happened without chasing three different local suppliers for an answer.
How fast can you turn around a costed multi-city itinerary?
Standard multi-city requests come back with net pricing within one business day, matching our single-city turnaround. Complex programs spanning multiple regions, mixed group and FIT travellers, or MICE components typically take a few extra days because we lock real allotment on every hotel and domestic flight segment before sending numbers you can sell against.
