Would you go to Cyprus

Due to go to Cyprus mid August. Would you go? Seeing stuff on the news that is worrying me but no idea whether it’s just the media scaremongering.

DS going this week. And we are going to Turkey. The news is stressful but unless FCO advice changes, we will be going.

It’s so difficult to predict how things will develop. That bloody turnip in the White House is making the world ever less safe.

I would plan to go as normal. If it's a package like Tui they would cancel if any threat and offer a refund or new location.

We’re in a similar position, due to go to Turkey in October and really unsure what to do. I think if it was closer and I’d paid the full balance I’d go, the FCO would stop people travelling if they thought it necessary.

No because of the tarantula thread here from the other night

Came on to say this

No.

What are the risks here that people are worried about? Would Turkey be in similar risks?

Booked for September but can cancel up to a week before with no charge.

Waiting on booking flights tho.

I ruled it out for this year's holiday, going to the Canaries instead. However the risks will be tiny and if I were already booked and paid I am sure I would still go.

Yes definitely, unless the FCO advised against it, which is very unlikely.

It’s a beautiful country with lovely people and amazing food.

Largestlegocollectionever · 18/06/2025 21:55

Yes we’re going, not worried at all

Almostalive · 18/06/2025 21:54

Same here. Just going to watch the travel information for now.

It’s very, very likely to be fine, but it’s also very, very close to a potential war zone.

If I had an existing holiday booked, I’d probably go unless things got very significantly worse, but if I hadn’t already booked, I’d probably choose somewhere else this year.
