Hi Tracan,

There is a long thread HERE on Khan's Tent. The general consensus appears to be that you will pay more by booking through a tour operator than via a local tour office or organising it yourself with a taxi.

I`ve stayed in the Chaika and yes, i had to wear long troussers at night

stayed in the victoria palace last year and there was a noticeoutside the resturant that long trousers must be worn,but not many adhered to the rule especially the brits in their vests and shorts

thanks for all the advice really looking forward to it now having been to turkey for the last 6 years hope it does,nt dissapoint

Hi Tracan,
We stayed in the 4 star Riu Helios Palace last year. Eventhough gentlemen were requested to wear long trousers, not many did. Most people wore three quarter trousers with a shirt or polo shirt. Tailored shorts were also allowed. Hope this helps.
