Please Note
Spending Money: It is difficult to give an average amount as so much depends on the individual and the destination, but it would be wise to allow a minimum of 10 $ per day for incidentals and trips, though on this trip it would be hard to spend as much as this. Remember there are often souvenirs to buy and you should allow some extra spending money for this.
Baggage on Flights: You are restricted to 20kg of baggage on most flights. We recommend you to take rather less than this to allow for souvenirs that you may want to bring back.
Clothing and Equipment: On this trip light, comfortable casual clothes are all that is needed, plus cold and wet weather protection. Gore-tex equipments recommended.
Not Included: Domestic flights from Istanbul to Trabzon and from Trabzon to Istanbul(around 200 Euros), other personal equipments, personal expenditure such as laundry, drinks and tips.
