Q3
RECOMENDED FLIGHT TIMES
The main airport (TZX) TRABZON AIRPORT is approximately 1-hour outside of RIZE
Arrival:
Day 1 is scheduled just for your arrival and check-in.
Therefore any flight arriving on Day 1, with enough time to arrive, make it to the hotel, and get some sleep, is a good choice.
If you would like to arrive a day or so early, that’s great! You can easily book an add-on for one extra night on either end of your tour. Let us know and we can book extra nights and/or additional activities. Or feel free to arrange things on your own and join the group when it’s time.
Departure:
Day 8 is scheduled just for your check-out and departure to the airport.
Therefore a morning / mid-day departure flight on Day 8 is ideal.
It is possible to have a departure flight on day 7. If you chose to do so, we recommend a flight that departs at least after 7 pm.
Departing on Day 7 makes things a bit more rushed and tiring. But this option may work well for people with relatively short flights, less time off, or if the airfare available just happens to be a better deal that day
