Thousands of people travel for fertility treatment every year. Wherever you are, the questions worth asking are the same: what is allowed at home, what it costs, how you reach the clinic and what the stay looks like. Here are our answers, country by country.
Choose your country. Each section answers the same four questions. Flight details are indicative; the coordinator confirms the routes our patients use.
The market where the difference is greatest: egg donation is banned, and own-egg IVF is paid entirely out of pocket.
As in Switzerland: egg donation banned, long waits and strict limits on what is allowed.
Local clinics exist, but donor options are limited and laboratories often older. With us: a European-standard lab, one specialist all the way, no waiting list.
Donation has been legal since 2014, but donors are scarce, waits long and prices high.
Clinics in Tirana are well known and often compared on price. We invite you to compare the laboratory and the doctor.
As in Kosovo: limited donor options at home, older laboratories. With us, a European-standard lab and no waiting list.
Greece is itself a major IVF destination. What we offer differently: care in your own language, one-to-one, in a brand-new clinic.
Fertility treatment works best when your body and mind are at ease. That is why we built our clinic on the seaside in Famagusta, not in a busy city centre.
With golden sandy beaches minutes from our door, the warm Mediterranean air and gentle pace of life create the ideal environment to recover between appointments. Many of our patients tell us their time in Famagusta felt more like a restorative break than a clinical trip: quiet harbour-side restaurants, historic streets, and long coastal walks while your treatment does its work.
Unlike the larger, high-volume clinics elsewhere on the island, Fertina is a boutique practice where you are known by name, not by number. Every patient has the same specialist from first scan to transfer. It is a deliberate choice we made when founding the clinic, and our patients consistently tell us it makes all the difference.

Only real, verified reviews, shared exactly as written.
Our clinic operates under TRNC healthcare legislation, holds ISO 9001 international certification, and was built new with 2026-generation laboratory equipment. Safety also depends on honest patient selection: we assess every patient individually and decline treatment we do not believe is medically appropriate.
Usually one. Preliminary tests can be done at home, consultations happen by video or WhatsApp, and most patients travel once for around 10 days at the treatment stage. Those who prefer to have the entire cycle at the clinic choose the 21-day stay.
Two options: Larnaca in the south of the island (direct flights from Switzerland, Germany, Italy and Greece), with a road transfer to Famagusta, or Ercan via Istanbul (the usual route from Tirana, Pristina and Skopje). Our driver collects you either way; transfers are included in every package.
Please do. Package accommodation covers both partners, with breakfast included in the hotel options. Famagusta is an easy place to spend ten days together, and treatment tends to go better when nobody is doing it alone.
A valid passport, your medical and cycle history, and any recent test results you have. The coordinator sends a personalised checklist after your free consultation, including which tests can be done through your doctor or a local lab before you travel.
You keep a direct WhatsApp line to the coordinator and clinical team. We coordinate with clinics near you for scans or follow-up where needed, and we provide complete treatment records for your doctor.
Ask us the awkward questions: about regulation, donors, costs, anything. Straight answers on WhatsApp, in Albanian, with no pressure and no obligation.
