Fez Travel was the brain child of an ambitious New Zealander and a number of entreprenial Turks. Our fledging Hop-on Hop-off service saw just a few buses departing each week from a tiny office at the Sultan Hostel.
Due to the popularity of this unique service, our first year was a staggering success. By 1999, Fez had re-opened its doors at its current location in Sultanahmet. Seeing an opportunity to diversify, Fez promptly moved into the scheduled tour market covering the West of Turkey.
By the year 2000, Fez further expanded its services to allow our clients to travel by both land and sea; the mighty Turkish coastline providing a spectacular backdrop to the Turquoise waters of the Meditteranean sea. Needless to say, our 3 to 7 day cruises were an immediate hit with our 3 day cruise being added as an option on some tour itineraries.
In 2001, our free magazine 'Fark Etmez' - created by backpackers for backpacking in Turkey, had achieved a circulation of 30,000 copies throughout Turkey, Greece and the UK.
Operations in Turkey have since continued to grow with 2003 seeing a smooth transition into the international tour operator scene. Our scheduled tours in Greece have proven an overwhelming success, an indication of Fez's strong and ever expanding brand. As such, we have been chosen as agents in Turkey for several large international travel companies, including STA Travel and Flight Centre.
Currently, Fez have several branch offices throughout Turkey.
