We are looking to book a holiday this July/Aug. We usually stay in Europe and go to one of the Greek Islands/Majorca.

Looking at Turkey it’s very cheap for an all inclusive. As much as half the price of a similar hotel in Greece/Spain. Obviously we’d be going to somewhere like Boston/Antalya.

Would you go? My concerns are the current situation with the war, and also the extreme heat.

Yanbu - it’s a brilliant place
Yabu - I wouldn’t go

Iran is a long way from turkey.

do you have specific worries?

It’s one of the countries that Iran shares a border with. Admittedly, they are big countries.

I would probably hold off booking and see what the situation is closer to the time.

Insanely hot. Debilitating so

I think I'd be too worried about international instability, sorry but you did ask.

What about elsewhere in Europe? Malta is often overlooked.
