Terms of Use

Last updated: 15 October 2026

Travel guides, visa and transport information are general information. They are not legal, health, nutrition or financial advice. Visa rules, prices, opening hours and border procedures can change without notice; always check the official source before you travel. Decisions you make based on the content are your own.

Food and allergies: food notes in the guides, and the recipes on the Turkish pages, are a guide only. If you have a food allergy, a special diet or a health condition, check the ingredients yourself. Take care with cooking temperatures and times, and with the safe preparation of raw meat, eggs and seafood.

This site does not sell products, services, tickets, accommodation, insurance or tours, and it does not take bookings, payments or orders. I am not a seller, supplier, travel agent, broker or advisor. When you follow a link to another company and book there, the contract is between you and that company. For payments, cancellations, refunds, changes, delays and complaints, please contact the company you booked with. Some links are affiliate links; see the Affiliate Disclosure.

When you leave this site, the other site’s own terms, privacy policy and cookie practices apply. I am not responsible for the content, prices, practices or service quality of the sites I link to. They are independent businesses and are not under my control.

The texts, photographs and videos on this site are protected by copyright, including under Turkish Law No. 5846 on Intellectual and Artistic Works and international copyright treaties. © Gezginbirchef. All rights reserved. No part may be reproduced without permission. Bulk copying of texts and scraping the site to train artificial intelligence systems are not allowed.

• Questions and comments are read before they are published. I decide whether to publish, edit or remove them.
• You are responsible for what you send. Insults, hate speech, other people’s personal data (phone number, address, photos), advertising, spam, copyright infringement and unlawful content are not published.
• By sending a question, you allow it to be published on the site (shown as “Reader”, without your name) and answered, shortened or corrected for spelling where needed. If you ask me to delete it, I will.
• Instant answers in the AI chat are prepared automatically with the help of an AI service and may contain mistakes. I review answers before they are published on the site.
• My answers are general information. For your personal health, allergy or legal situation, ask a qualified professional.

If you see content on the site that violates your personal rights, uses your work without permission or that you believe is unlawful, email info@gezginbirchef.com with: the full address (URL) of the content, why you think it is unlawful, information showing your rights (if you are the rights holder) and your contact details. I review reports within 2 working days and remove the content if the report is justified. Your rights to go to court, including under Article 9 of Turkish Law No. 5651, are not affected.

Automated access, scraping, attacks and any attempt to harm the site, overload it or get around its security measures are not allowed. IP addresses involved may be blocked.

I write the content with care and use official sources where they exist, but I cannot guarantee that every piece of information is complete, accurate or up to date at the moment you read it. To the extent permitted by law, I am not liable for losses arising from the use of the content or from the services of third-party sites. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

See the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy.

I may update these terms; the current version is always on this page. These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. If you use the site as a consumer, nothing in these terms removes the protection you have under the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live, including your right to bring a claim there. For consumers in Türkiye, the competent court and consumer arbitration committee rules of Turkish Law No. 6502 are reserved.
