Take care of your safety in Turkey

Certain problems arise during a holiday in Turkey. We will briefly describe these problems to you in order to make your holiday a success. This provides useful information for you.

1. Currency: Change your money in specific places.

In general, the exchange rate within the hotel is set to be low and accordingly it is better to conduct foreign exchange transactions outside the hotel. The hotel staff will inform you at reception about exchange offices in your area.

2. Private and Valuable Items:

It is safer to keep your private items in the safe in your room. Don't forget to enter your own password so that you don't forget it. If your important documents are lost or stolen outside of the hotel, there are many actions to be taken. For example, you may need to go to a different city for the consulate. It is enough to have copies of your documents and the hotel confirmation with you to avoid these problems.

3. Turkey is an Islamic country:

Pay attention to the dress options for women in this country as women do not wear very revealing clothes. Foreign tourists in particular have to be very careful. You can also only take photos of Turks if they allow it. Another important topic: don't talk about Turks and Greeks. These countries have had complex relationships for centuries. Smoking, alcohol and eating are not permitted in mosques. Pay attention to the traditions in religious institutions in general.

5. It is forbidden to take coral shells and archaeological finds out of the country.

You should read the list beforehand for goods that you want to export from Turkey. In this case, there may be problems with customs inspection and you may have to pay a fine.

6. Hotel meals: Let's pay attention to hotel meals while on vacation.

So what do we have to do? Turkish dishes are spicy, sweet and fatty. Accordingly, we recommend tourists to watch their meals for at least the first three days.

7. Don't drink tap water: Four- and five-star hotels offer free drinking water.

At city hotels you can buy water outside or from the hotel itself. Of course, water prices in markets or shops are more reasonable.

In fact, we believe that by following some of these rules, tourists will be kept away from unpleasant situations and the vacation will end with unforgettable memories.
