we booked our Turki trip during MATTA Fair last year (around Sept, if I rmmbr correctly). total price of the package offered by the travel agent is RM4895, which is quite reasonable to us considering that the price paid covers our flight ticket, accommodation, meals & transportation there. & we agreed to go in April (or late March) this year because it's the start of Tulip season in Istanbul (plus it's already Spring & I don't think I can bear the weather if we go during Winter).
Travel agent: Dilruba Turki Travel
we left KLIA on 30 March (KL - Doha - Istanbul). total flight hours (including transit time) is approximately 12 hours (a loooooong 12 hours flight adalah memenatkan). we reached Ataturk International Airport (Istanbul) at around 6.30 p.m. (that's 11.30 p.m Msia time) and after meeting up with our guide, he brought us to hv our dinner at Sultan Kosesi Restaurant.

after dinner (xbrp boleh nk mkn sgt sbb it was already passed midnight Msia time), we checked in to the hotel. for our 1st night in Turki, we stayed at Istanbul Dora Hotel. hotel's condition? for me, it's OK & I hv nothing to complain. it's quite a new hotel that has been operating less than a year (as informed by our guide). nothing much to see around d hotel (even though it's still considered early when we checked in) because with the long flight, I think we were too exhausted & d best is to get our very much needed sleep, hahahahaha.
too bad that I woke up at 4.30 am Turki time d next day =( that's 1 hour earlier than d wake up call for Subuh. u do the math....
4.30 am Turki = 9.30 am Msia
no wonder laaaa... mata bukak ikut timing Msia. hadoiiii.... around 5.30 a.m., d three of us had our eyes wide open already & dh tak tau apa nk buat, so we took pictures from our hotel room. d result...
