HOLIDAY IN TURKEY

Imagine a holiday spent in a sun-drenched country with golden beaches and beautiful scenery, the origin of ancient myths and civilisations; where the people are hospitable, the food is delicious and your money goes a long way… That’s Turkey!

If you are aged between 12 and 29, get ready for the holiday of a lifetime! Just join the ICEPworld Holiday in Turkey Program and you will be provided with your own room in a Turkish family home. What better way to experience Turkish hospitality and to discover Turkish cuisine? You will be treated as a member of the family and will be welcome to join in family outings such as visits to friends and interesting places and activities such as camping, sports, etc.

(Full-board accommodation will be provided but you are responsible for your travel expenses to, from and within Turkey as well as your own private expenses such as telephone calls, pocket money etc. The duration of the stay can vary; however, the maximum stay allowed in Turkey is three months.)

NOTE TO PARENTS

Parents of participants in the 12-17 age-group in particular, will naturally be concerned for their child’s comfort and happiness. We can assure you that all our host families are carefully vetted and have a good educational background and standard of living. We guarantee to place your child in a family with a child of the same sex and similar age, so that s/he will have plenty of opportunity to make friends. Turkish families are very caring and protective of their children and your son or daughter will receive the same care and attention as their own. If you wish, you may travel with your child and stay with them in their host family home for the first few days, you can be sure that your child’s host family will be delighted to meet you!

HOSPITALITY

Turks are very generous and hospitality is one of the cornerstones of the Turkish way of life. You can expect a very warm reception and attentive care during your stay. Your host family and their friends will show their interest in you by asking lots of questions, and invite you to social occasions and other events where you will be treated as an honoured guest. In fact, you will find that most people you meet are friendly and courteous to strangers, whether they're foreign or not!
