ABOUT US

Founded by Mehmet Bastiyali in 1986, Bastiyali Tourist Enterprises SA has gained an important place in the tourism sector of Turkey.

Our company that operated under the name of Bastiyali Travel Agency between 1986 – 2003 has continued its services after changing its name as Astral Travel Agency on the 18th of October 2003.

In seventies when the mass tourism had just started, Mr Bastiyali with his knowledge and experience in tourism, made an effort to increase the number of tourists and he has happily pulled his weight to develop the tourism in Turkey.

With its philosophy of perfectionism, our company’s adaptive and dynamic team aims to make sure that our guests thoroughly enjoy their holidays. Our team operates by professionally offering highest quality of services while keeping its amateur spirit alive at the same time.

Astral Travel Agency, with this mindset of tourism, has successfully been the Turkish epresentative of Thomas Cook Northern Europe, the largest tour operators group in Scandinavia since its establishment and is the Turkish leader of the market.

Keeping the customer satisfaction above all, Astral Travel Agency continues its operations with unfaltering steps on moral grounds. Having our company’s motto of “pursuit of excellence”, it hosts around 200,000 tourists per year and works for the sake of increasing the tourism potential of the country.
