As a foreigner living in Turkey I deffinatly would have to say that Turkey is a safe country.
With the exception of southeastern cities.
Those attacks are VERY rare.
Since those areas are by the border or Iraq, Iran, and Syria.

Turkey, as a gov't, does alot to keep the country safe. Places over in the west are even more safe.
Especially with over 25 million visitors.

And just like any other place in the world there are is going to be crime, especially in cities as big as istanbul (17 mill) and izmir (4½ mill).
But the police force in Turkey is very good. You just need to watch out, like ANYWHERE else in the world, at night.


MORTİCİA
I can assure you that it is safer then New York and any other city in USA .

I go every year about 3, 4 times..Nothing happened to me..Terrorism there is everywhere.
It is true that there are som eproblems with kurdish..and last year I cancelled my travel to marmaris..
But just think:What happened inLondon also?In Madrid?
the bad may happen everywhere...
Maybe it is better to avoid some places with political tension such as south easterb anatolia...But in the western part there is so much police...
Just try not to be so much in croweded places...but generally...i dont htink there is any problem


Peter
I visited last year and felt very safe all the time. So the answer is yes! Hope you'll have a great time in Turkey!

Check your embassy's web site.... there must be suggestions about the countries you consider to visit. if You are British check the web site... it tells you everything about the countries for Brits to wanna visit. get your own embassy's opinion...

Earthling
Yes, it's secure.


ErAs
i agree with morticia and hannibal.


Kimon
It is as safe as most places in Europe. All reasonable precautions stand.
Be extra careful if you are traveling in East or South-East Turkey.
