Seychelles International Airport is your welcoming gateway as you depart from the paradise island of Mahé. This warm and friendly airport is located approximately 12 kilometres southeast of the capital and offers attentive staff dedicated to making your journey stress-free.
When considering transport to the airport, a taxi is the easiest option; however, be mindful of potential night-time surcharges if you have an evening flight. Alternatively, buses run regularly every 20-30 minutes from the capital’s centre, or you may utilise the limousine service offered by many hotels for VIP guests. Please note that parking is extremely limited, so using public transport or taxis is the most practical solution.
Upon arrival, head to the main terminal's Departure hall for check-in. Although the airport is relatively small, security checks are thorough and lengthy, so allow yourself about one to one and a half hours to complete both check-in and customs clearance. For your comfort, facilities are adequate, including Wi-Fi throughout the terminal. You can enjoy light snacks and beverages from the coffee bars, or a meal from the restaurant which serves food until the early evening. Remember to avoid taking photographs while at the airport due to the operational military base situated near the runway.
Ankara, the capital of Türkiye, is a vibrant metropolis where ancient history and modern flair meet. As the country's second-largest city, it serves as a political, commercial and cultural hub.
Start by exploring the iconic Ankara Castle. Perched on a hill, it features a unique blend of Roman and Ottoman history along with panoramic views of the modern skyline. To gain deeper cultural insight, visit the renowned Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, which houses priceless artefacts spanning millennia. You must see the monumental Anıtkabir, a profound national symbol and the mausoleum of the country's founder, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
Afterwards, enjoy the vibrant social scene in districts like Kızılay and the Hamamönü Historical District, boasting meticulously restored Ottoman architecture. Finish off your trip by admiring stunning 360-degree views from the top of the modern Atakule Tower.
