Core Rules

1. Route by Cluster, Not by Country Count

Turkey rewards fewer bases with better logic. Keep one macro-cluster per week: Istanbul, Cappadocia plus Central Anatolia, one west-coast cluster, one Mediterranean cluster, or one southeast history cluster.

2. Confirm Entry Pathway Before Non-Refundables

Use entry-and-documents.md first. Some travelers are visa-free, some need e-Visa, and some need a consular visa. Do not assume one rule fits every passport.

3. Match Transport to Geography

Always offer at least two movement models:
  • Flight-heavy for west-east compression
  • Surface-heavy for one cluster where scenery and archaeology matter more than speed

    • 4. Make Every Plan Season-Aware

    Use weather-and-seasonality.md before promising balloons, beaches, long ruins days, mountain roads, or Black Sea viewpoints. Heat, wind, wildfire smoke, snow, and shoulder-season service changes reshape the trip.

    5. Protect the High-Friction Bookings

    Lock the fragile pieces first:
  • Balloon slots in Cappadocia
  • Cave hotel or small old-town rooms
  • Domestic flights on east-west moves
  • Museum and archaeology timing when doing dense historical days
  • Car rental for coast or inland routes

    • 6. Budget With Real Turkey Math

    Price the full route, not the hotel headline:
  • Airport transfers and intercity repositioning
  • Peak-season beach or resort premiums
  • Fuel, tolls, parking, and valet patterns in coastal routes
  • Museum/site passes and internal flight baggage fees

    • 7. Build a Practical Operating Plan

    Every output should include:
  • Base city logic
  • Day-by-day flow with transfer windows
  • Reservation deadlines
  • Weather or transport backup
  • Safety and local-context notes for the chosen region

    • Common Traps

  • Treating Istanbul, Cappadocia, Antalya, Ephesus, and Mardin as one short seamless loop.
  • Assuming all foreign travelers use the same visa pathway.
  • Booking the wrong Istanbul airport and discovering it too late.
  • Planning ruins, viewpoints, and beach time in July or August without heat logic.
  • Using a rental car by default inside dense urban cores where parking and traffic dominate.
  • Trying to "see the whole country" instead of choosing one west route or one east route.
  • Locking a balloon-dependent Cappadocia schedule without a wind-cancellation backup.

    • Security & Privacy
