Would you go to Turkey this summer?

[Lndnmummy]

Just that really, would you?

I am and I can't wait. Like others have been said, Brussels and Paris have been attacked, Spain has been threatened. Nowhere is 100% safe.

No. I wouldn't - too risky at the moment.

I'm going next week.

Nope, but then I wouldn't go there ever. My friend went a few years ago before ISIS were in the news and said she didn't feel safe walking down the street as a Western woman because of getting constant hassle from men.

I see the Daily Telegraph headline that "NATO raises justified concern that Isil is plotting nuclear attack on Britain".

Just putting it out there.

Going next month - looking forward to it. Life goes on and we live in a dangerous world but all we can do is be vigilant and take as much care as possible
We can't let the terrorists terrorise us into submission

No I wouldn't. There are other lovely places to visit.

No - as a female Jew I don't feel comfortable going, but it's 10% terrorism and 90% hassle from men.

no.

Absolutely not.

No I wouldn't no

I wouldn't go to any Muslim country for a holiday at the moment. But avoiding is no guarantee of safety either, since in the past few years there have been terrorist attacks in Britain, France, Belgium, Spain, USA, Australia and Canada (to name but a few places that I would go). So, you takes your chances wherever you go.

Probably not if I'm honest but I don't think people that are going are being reckless. I live in London and travel on the tube every day, I know some people wouldn't do that so ya know horses for courses.

I echo LaurieFairy; it was what happened in Tunisia that did it for me: I love Turkey and the Turquoise Coast so much; am desperate to go back but for me it's just too dangerous.

It's all risk interpretation really, isn't it? I live and work in London ffs!

No

No, I wouldn't go to Turkey. I think the prices of holidays to Turkey reflect the general consensus,, that a lot of people are not willing to travel there. Travelling anywhere nowadays comes with a certain amount of risk, but with the current 'climate' there, I wouldn't be willing to risk my family's or my safety. I suppose it depends on whether you think it is worth the risk or not. I was just saying to DH the other day, if you took the "risk" and went to somewhere such as Turkey or Tunisia etc., and something 'happened' to you, the first thing people "at home" would think is "what carried them out there, especially after X, they must have know it would be dangerous". It is a pity, but it's the world we live in.

I've been to Turkey and Egypt in the past but can't see myself going again any time soon. I just don't think it's safe.

No, but not due to terrorism threats but because we went last July and it was just too hot. We ate lunch inside to access the AC.
I'd go in May or June though.

Definitely not! I love Turkey and had some great holidays there. However, I wouldn't be able to relax and enjoy it, so there's just no point. Lots of other places to visit. Holidays to Turkey are incredibly cheap at the moment because most people won't go.

No I wouldn't, been there a few years back and hated it. Wouldn't go back for a free trip even if it was safe.

No - only because I feel like I've been to most of the coastal areas there that I want to see.
ISIS have 'plans' to carry out 'tourist massacres' in Europe this summer www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/19/islamic-state-planning-beach-massacre-using-bombs-under-sunbeds/ so can't see why Turkey would be much different.

I've been to Turkey before and really loved it. If I was planning that type of holiday I would go again - especially as it'll be much quieter if all the Russians have stopped going after that spat they had about the warplane.

I would never go there.

No, I wouldn't. I didn't like it at all when we went a few years back, so definitely wouldn't risk it now. There are places I consider safer that I would have a less anxious holiday in. Whether they are actually safer remains to be seen of course.

No - flying is bad for the environment and one flight to Turkey would produce the same amount of carbon as everything else the average person does for a whole year.

Why does everyone have their head in the sand about climate change? We all need to start taking responsibility for our own actions
