When I founded Anatolian Sky Holidays in 1989 with the aim of offering good quality holidays to Turkey and North Cyprus, I chose the slogan ‘Dedicated to Quality’ to reflect this aim. Since I am Turkish, I have always been inspired by a desire to introduce the real Turkey to British holidaymakers. This is why we choose only the most authentic of resorts, those with a typically Turkish flavour, and prefer to work with those hotels which have a truly Turkish character, which are family-run or unique in some aspect - and which, above all, offer a warm welcome. Over the years, despite the ups and downs of this very competitive market, I am pleased to say that mostly we have fulfilled what I set out to achieve.We have constantly invested in the UK, Turkey and Northern Cyprus in order to achieve our target of high standards of service. I am proud of our fantastic team in the UK and overseas, which is dedicated to your service. Five years ago, we opened our own incoming agency in Turkey with 4 branches as well as an agency in North Cyprus to avoid the risks associated with working with third parties. All the staff in overseas resorts are employed by us directly and all the vehicles and drivers are completely under our control. Personalised service and your safety are our top priorities. Most of our local representatives, who we prefer to refer to as ‘your hosts’ have been employed by us for many years and most of them are British people living in Turkey. They will be a valuable source of in-depth local knowledge for you and they will look after your welfare during your holiday. The best testimony to our achievement is the fact that around 60% of our clients have been on holiday with us before. I am also proud of the positive feedback which we receive from our clients year after year. As you browse through the brochure, please do read the comments of our previous clients. I am delighted to say that we have even extended our high quality service to hotel management. We have managed the Ottoman Residence in Akyaka for the past 4 years. After seeing the excellent feedback from our guests, we decided to expand our hotel management team in Turkey and have taken one of most popular hotels, the Rhapsody Hotel in Kalkan, under our management as well. From 2009 onwards you will enjoy even higher standards of service from the Rhapsody Hotel. For 2009, we have added Gulet Cruise itineraries taking in the Greek islands of Rhodes, Kos and Symi. We have also extended our Tailor-made Tours to cover most of Turkey.. Finally I would like to wish you a great holiday in 2009 and meantime if you would like to contact me for any reason please do not hesitate, my direct number 0121 764 35 55.
