The Safest Holiday Destinations In Turkey

If you’re planning a holiday to Turkey, read on to learn whether it’s safe to travel there, as well as some of the safest resorts that you must visit and why.

The biggest question many people are asking themselves is whether it’s safe to go on a holiday to Turkey in 2022; particularly after the economic, social and political order of the nation was destabilised. It’s always a good idea to research the destination you’re interested in visiting. So, if you’re planning a holiday to Turkey in 2022, read on to learn whether it’s safe to travel to Turkey, as well as some of the safest holiday destinations that you must visit and why.

Is It Safe To Travel To Turkey?

Filled with numerous beaches and well-known attractions, Turkey is a popular country with many tourists. However, the recent security issues have impacted the country’s economy. So, is it safe to travel to Turkey in 2022? As with travelling to any country, there’s always some risk. No country can ever guarantee 100% safety. While the Syrian border, political demonstrations and the coup are big concerns in Turkey, the UK Foreign Office declares that most visits to Turkey are trouble-free.

‍If the situation were ever to change and the safety of tourists became a concern, as with any destination, a plan is triggered by the government to safely remove holidaymakers from the country until it is deemed safe to travel again.  An ATOL protected holiday package, like ours here at Brightsun Travel, will ensure you receive a full refund should this situation arise and a holiday is cancelled, or compensation if your holiday was cut short.

So, read on to learn about some of the safest holiday destinations in Turkey you should visit.

The beautiful mosque domes, Ottoman palaces and exotic bazaars make it an attractive and timeless destination to visit. And, if you’re a beach lover, you’ll be pleased to know there are countless beaches to relax at too! This includes the Golden Beach and the Solar Beach - both are away from the bustling port, making them the perfect places to unwind.
