Absolutely! From subsequent trips since 2017, Turkey has remained to be one of the most awesome destinations ever! A country full of beautiful people and places and at the same time packed with countless historical preservations which makes it beyond interesting!
It is perfectly safe to travel free and easy as a family regardless by renting a car at affordable prices or taking the cheap public transport although I do not recommend renting one at Istanbul unless you are familiar with the traffic. But driving to and around other cities like Cappadocia, Antalya, Denizli and Izmir is super easy and the breathtaking sceneries are just rewarding.
People of Turkey are friendly and are never shy to put on a smile and that includes the police officers and guards around the touristic areas such as Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Having them around to maintain peace and security due to huge waves of tourists from all over the world such as Europe, Middle East and Asia visiting these divine monuments simply adds to the fact that the Turkish government is very particular on everyone’s safety.
To top it off, Bodrum city is an exquisite location that oversees the Argean Sea. A place popular among British and west Europeans who own retirement homes there. I personally have met a couple of families and they are enjoying the time of their life!
These are just some of my plentiful safe travelling experience in Turkey and I hope your experience will be as pleasantly as mine. Can’t wait for the pandemic to be over! Stay safe fellow travellers! 🙂
