However, all major governments, including those of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, continue to advise travelers to exercise a high degree of caution across Turkey due to the ongoing threat of terrorism and the possibility of demonstrations. While terrorist incidents have decreased compared to previous years, travelers are urged to remain alert in crowded places such as markets, malls, transportation hubs, and popular attractions. Public gatherings, especially those of a political or religious nature, can attract demonstrations or increased security operations. Criticizing the government in public or online can carry legal risks, potentially leading to detentions or exit bans.
Travelers should strictly avoid all travel near Turkey’s borders with Syria and Iraq and, in particular, the southeastern provinces of Sirnak and Hakkari. These areas face unpredictable security situations, including risks of terrorism, armed conflict, and instability. Terrorist attacks, including bombings and ambushes targeting security forces and public spaces, continue to be reported in these border regions. Most international governments prohibit their own employees from traveling to these areas and recommend that private travelers do the same.
Environmental risks are also present in Turkey during the summer. Wildfires frequently break out in forested and rural areas, especially along the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts. Listeners are reminded that lighting fires, discarding cigarettes in risk zones, or using barbeques in the countryside is illegal and could result in fines or imprisonment. If there is a wildfire nearby, follow local authorities’ evacuation instructions promptly. In April 2025, a 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck near Istanbul, underlining the country’s ongoing seismic risk. Travelers should be aware of potential aftershocks, adhere to local guidance, and know basic earthquake safety.
Petty crime, such as pickpocketing, can occur in tourist hotspots, although violent crime remains rare. Visitors are advised to take the same precautions they would in any major European city: keep valuables secure, remain alert in crowds, and avoid unlicensed taxi services. It is strongly advised to carry identification at all times, including passport and visa copies, as local police conduct routine ID checks.
For those planning visits during large events, religious festivals, or sporting matches, extra vigilance is recommended as dense crowds can be targeted for opportunistic crime or, in rare cases, terrorist activity. The Turkish Travel Planner and Global Citizen Solutions stress that most travelers report feeling safe and enjoying the renowned hospitality of the Turkish people, as long as standard travel precautions are followed.
Travelers should check current local conditions, enroll in their government’s travel advisory notification systems, and register with local embassies where appropriate for the latest updates. Finally, summer weather in Turkey can bring extreme heat and occasional flash flooding, so staying hydrated and monitoring local media for weather warnings is important for a safe, enjoyable trip.
