Safety
Due to the current situation in neighbouring Iraq, travellers are advised to be cautious and check with their embassy before departure for a current update on the situation. There is a significant threat from terrorism in Turkey and there have been a number of terrorist incidents, including small explosions, around the country. Explosions in July 2005 in Cesme and Kusadasi (Aegean Coast) and most recently in Antalya on the Mediterranean have killed and injured many people, including foreign tourists. Kurdish militant groups, as well as international terrorist groups, are currently active in Turkey and further attacks against the tourism industry in particular are likely. Visitors are advised to be vigilant especially in the coastal resorts of the Aegean Sea. There are continuing incidents of local terrorism in Eastern Turkey, particularly the south east. Visitors should avoid any public demonstrations. Street crime is relatively low although visitors should guard their valuables at all times.
Health
There is a risk of malaria in the south-eastern part of the country, but not in the main tourist areas in the west and south-west of the country, although mosquitoes can still be an irritation in summer. There are no vaccination requirements. An outbreak of bird flu on a farm in north west Turkey was reported in October 2005, but measures have been taken to contain the outbreak. No human cases have been reported and visitors are unlikely to be at risk, but are advised to avoid exposure to caged, domestic or wild birds. Most tap water in the larger towns and cities has been chlorinated, but bottled water is still recommended for drinking. Food from street vendors should be treated with caution. Medical facilities and standard of health care are not high in state hospitals and private health insurance is recommended.
