Whether you’re after a beach holiday, glorious resort stay or city break filled with food and fabulous landmarks, Turkey has it all.
The beautiful country, which is partly located in Europe and partly in Asia, is very popular among Britons. However, holidaymakers have been issued a warning with regards to their safety in the country.

Crime
Sexual assault
GOV.UK stated: “In 2023, 42 cases of sexual assault, including rape, were reported to British consular staff in Turkey. Most sexual assault cases reported to British consular staff in Turkey have happened during summer holidays in coastal tourist areas.
“Many were committed at night by someone the victim met during the day, including hotel workers. There have also been sexual attacks on minors visiting toilet facilities alone. Be extra vigilant in these situations.”
