Astana is the modern capital of Kazakhstan, known for its unique architecture, international exhibitions, business forums and rapidly developing tourism infrastructure. The city attracts visitors with a combination of modern urban development, cultural landmarks and event tourism.
Almaty is the largest city in the country and the cultural center of Kazakhstan. The destination is especially popular due to its proximity to the Zailiyskiy Alatau mountains, year-round outdoor activities, gastronomic scene, shopping opportunities and vibrant city life.
The launch of the routes is expected to support the growth of tourism and business travel between Turkey and Kazakhstan. Additionally, Turkish citizens benefit from a visa-free entry regime to Kazakhstan for up to 90 days, making travel planning easier and more convenient.
