ADVICE FOR VISITORS TO TURKEY

Planning what to put in your suitcase well before your departure date can save you a lot of time and stress before and during your Holiday.

Don't forget to pack those little things if you don't know exactly where they are sold, such as mobile phone charger, memory card, battery for your camera, ladies toiletries, travel plug.

Remember that you are going to a foreign soil where the culture, local customs and language are different therefore it is advisable to leave your bad habits if you have got any at home and be considerate to a different culture.

No matter what the situation is, do not get involved in national politics and under no circumstance belittle the Turkish flag or any historical figure as this may place you in the heart of the trouble.

Certain gestures can have different meanings than the one you know and also take extra precaution when you are out and about, especially at nights, keep in mind that a smiling face does not always mean safety.

Never say, it won't happen to me. A little extra money can cover your health insurance whilst you are travelling and help you through bad times.

If you do have any allergy or any conditions you may require specific medical care, please note this in clear, plain English, if possible translate it in to Turkish and carry it at all times with you.

Use where possible services, recognized and recommended by fellow travellers, trustworthy publications, to avoid everyday disappointments, which can be anything from Taxi ranks to Local Travel Agencies and places to go.

You must let close friends and family know where you are going, if possible the exact place, and nowadays it is a lot easy compared to what it was before, thanks to the latest technology. Use google maps to share your location whilst on Holiday. This way, your friends will know where you are.

Oh, by the way, do not gather information via Facebook or similar. Please use official websites such as government sites to find out about the latest up to date travel information and advice.
