[quote=Anonymous]This is interesting to me because I’ve spent a good amount of time there but on my most recent trip had a few dicey encounters that made me say goodbye to going there in the near future. This was around the same time of the failed coup, increasing authoritarian crackdown, and the very scary attack on the airport (where something like 50 people were killed)— so 2016/2017. A bombing happened on the metro (which is otherwise incredibly clean and efficient and wonderful!) and a few other things, and I just haven’t wanted to go back, especially with kids. It’s too bad because it is one of my favorite countries. Seriously, if I had to choose between there and Greece for seeing amazing ancient ruins and history and good food and stunning beaches, I’d choose Turkey every single time. But I did not feel safe, and I’ve lived in and traveled to places that people here would never deign to visit. My info is old and so maybe things have improved. [/quote]
