Reading the Canadian Government page is very alarming. Is has really spooked me as I have a flight booked in May. Now I’m scared for something to happen to me :(
I really appreciate your content though, it has made me a feel a little better!
I am Turkish who lived in Canada for six years and I can’t tell you that Canada was always like this towards Turkiye. Turkiye is very safe place. I would say even safer than most part of Europe and US. Bad people exist everywhere so of course, you shouldn’t be trusting everyone. however, it’s very well protected country I assure you.
Saw few hostagees and open fire news in turkey, will you still say that it is safe to travel there
Yes, I still feel Turkey is generally a safe place to visit. You can read more on our site: turkeytravelplanner.com/details/Safety/should_i_go.html
People are saying it can happen anytime
going on the US Travel Gov website this kind of scared us even though we only have a 12 hour layover and are not leaving the airport.
Yes, the travel advisories tend to be more conservative but I think you shouldn't worry about the airport. Both IST and SAW are some of the busiest airports in the world and many passengers pass through the airports each day without incident.
Did you already fly there, how was your experience? Our gov website scared me a lot too.
@@emilyann1122 Hey, yes I've flown through both airports many times and have never had any problems. They are both very safe, clean, and some of my favorite airports to fly through, especially IST. There's really nothing to worry about. As a woman I have never encountered anything that made me feel unsafe while traveling through these airports, and have traveled throughout a lot of Turkey, as well as have lived here for the past 5 years.
Hi, I actually wish to travel to Turkey as a tourist from India, but I'm really skeptical due to the two things I'm listening to:
1) Istanbul Santa Maria church attack on 28th Jan 2024. Two people were killed. Two men with ties to Russia and Tajikistan have been arrested though.
2) Turkey launches air attacks against Kurdish rebels in Iraq and Syria.
I'm really confused! Please help.
Hello,
Sorry to hear you are feeling confused. As with most countries these days, incidents of violence can occur. As an American, I personally feel much safer in Turkey than I do in the US or even when traveling in major European cities. Random attacks are relatively rare in Turkey and typically don't occur in tourist destinations. The air strikes are also very far from any of the places you might go as a tourist. The best thing to do is to stay alert and follow safety guidance issued by the government.

@@turkeytravelplanning thanks, this was helpful. Thanks again for detailed reply.
What about the danger of an earthquake in Istanbul?
Hello, yes, they have said that for many years. I think similar to California and waiting for "the big one". My advice would be to stay in a hotel or newer apartment that was built within the last ~20 years. The newer buildings have updated building codes for greater safety against earthquakes.
Hello
good point
I heard from pthers visited Istanbul, the shops are very agressive and they show hostility if ypu don't buiy anything
I've never experienced hostility or felt uncomfortable from shopping in the bazaar. I think it's best to avoid shops where salespeople are being aggressive/pushy, but I wouldn't say it's dangerous.
