Turkey, which is under lockdown since April 26, has decided to keep out foreign travelers from curfew, who are visiting the country. The lockdown will last until May 17th to curb virus cases across the country.
Turkey’s Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy assured foreign visitors that they are exempt from the round-the-clock curfew. Foreign visitors will be able to carry out their activities if they have their passports with them.
Public transportation will function at 50% capacity. Major museums and historical sites across 9 cities including Istanbul, Antalya, Muğla and Nevşehir (Cappadocia) will be open to foreign visitors during the lockdown. Turkey is preparing to host two major upcoming events too, as per the original schedule – UEFA Champions League Final on May 29 and Formula 1 from June 11 to 13.
During the lockdown, accommodation facilities will carry serving their customers with dining facilities inside hotels. Other dining facilities like restaurants and cafes will continue to operate only for delivery and take-away services.
Turkey is continuing to invest in ‘Safe Tourism Certification Program’ which is one of the first and most successful examples in the world for ensuring ‘strict safety and hygiene measures’ at tourist spots, accommodation facilities and airports. Turkey also offers additional insurance facilities providing a lot of benefits along with health and travel insurance.
As per new COVID guideline, all passengers coming to Turkey who have visited India within the last 10 days, need to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival, at a place decided by the governorship.
On the 14th day, they will have to take a PCR test. If the test result is negative, quarantine will be lifted.
