Hoe veilig is het?
3/5
Tourist areas (Istanbul, Cappadocia, Aegean coast, Antalya) are safe. Avoid border areas with Syria and Iraq. Istanbul has pickpocketing in tourist zones. Political protests can occur.
Waarvoor moet ik oppassen qua oplichting?
- Shoe-shine scam — someone 'accidentally' drops their brush, you pick it up, they demand payment for a shine.
- Friendly locals inviting you to bars where drinks are massively overpriced.
- Carpet shop tours ending in high-pressure sales.
Welke gezondheidsmaatregelen zijn verstandig?
- Good private hospitals in Istanbul and Antalya. Travel insurance recommended.
- Tap water technically safe in Istanbul but most people drink bottled.
Welke vaccinaties zijn verplicht?
- Routine vaccines. Hepatitis A recommended.
Is kraanwater veilig om te drinken?
Bottled water recommended throughout Turkey.
Zijn er actieve reisadviezen?
Avoid border areas with Syria and Iraq. Earthquake risk — Turkey is seismically active. Political tensions exist.
