Travel and stay

Travel and accommodation around your treatment in Türkiye

Alongside your healthcare arrangements, Turwel can coordinate the practical side of your trip: hotels, airport and inter-city transfers, concierge help, city tours and recovery-friendly itineraries. Travel is planned around your treatment schedule and your provider's recovery advice, never the other way round. You can use as much or as little of this as you need.

What we can arrange

What travel support can Turwel coordinate?

We can coordinate five kinds of practical support. Each one is optional, and each is planned around your appointments and the recovery time your provider recommends, so you are not rushing between a hotel, a clinic and the airport.

  • 01

    Hotels

    Accommodation chosen with your appointments and recovery in mind, such as proximity to the clinic and a quiet place to rest.

  • 02

    Airport transfers

    Being met on arrival and taken to the airport for your flight home.

  • 03

    Inter-city transfers

    Getting between cities if your treatment and your stay are in different places.

  • 04

    Concierge help

    A point of contact for practical questions during your stay.

  • 05

    City tours

    Only where your provider's advice and your recovery allow it.

  • 06

    Recovery-friendly itineraries

    Dates and plans built around treatment, rest and the checks before you fly.

Treatment first

Why does treatment come before travel plans?

Because the treatment schedule and recovery decide how long you need to stay. We recommend confirming your provider's schedule, planned checks and advice on flying before you book flights or other plans.

If you are combining treatment with time away, any activity should only be considered when it is consistent with your provider's advice and your recovery.

Planning checklist

What should I check before booking flights?

Before you book flights, confirm the dates of your consultation and treatment, the checks your provider plans before you leave, and when they consider it appropriate for you to fly. Then check that your travel insurance covers what you need.

  • Confirmed appointment dates and how long the provider recommends you stay
  • The provider's advice on when you can fly home
  • Travel insurance that suits your plans (standard policies may not cover planned treatment abroad)
  • A valid passport and any entry requirements for Türkiye (we can help you check these)
  • Written aftercare instructions and a provider contact before you leave
Common questions

Travel and stay: common questions

Do I have to use Turwel for my hotel and transfers?

No. Travel support is optional. You can ask us to coordinate everything, some things, or nothing beyond the healthcare conversations.

Does Turwel book my flights?

Tell us what you need when you enquire. We recommend booking flights only once your provider has confirmed the treatment schedule and advice on when you can fly.

Can I bring someone with me?

Yes, and many people find it helpful to have someone with them. Let us know when you enquire so accommodation and transfers can be arranged for both of you.

Can I go sightseeing after treatment?

Only if it fits your provider's advice and your recovery. Recovery comes first.
