Apply the
same safety rules that you do in your home town. It is natural when on vacation
to relax and let our hair down but this is when trouble can occur. Examples
include, do not accept drinks from strangers, do not walk in isolated places,
use licenced taxis, and do not be a victim of opportunity theft by leaving your
handbag wide open.
When checking
into your hotel, ask for a business card and carry it around with you at all
times. Most hotel business cards have the telephone number and address in case
you get lost.
Research the destination in Turkey
that you plan to travel to. The coastal resorts are used to seeing bikini-clad
women, and most bars, restaurants, and hotels, staff speak English. However,
many destinations inland and in the East of the country adhere to more
conservative dress standards and finding English speaking Turks can sometimes
be hard.
Hassle
sometimes occurs while shopping. Do not be scared to say no firmly but
politely. If at any time, you feel uncomfortable, walk away
