UK foreign office issued Turkey travel warning for holidaymakers

Thursday, July 27, 2023

A travel warning has been issued to anyone planning to go to Turkey this summer.

The UK Foreign Office has updated its guidance for travel to the country. They are now urging people to ensure they stay safe due to a number of reasons.

New advice warns people of earthquake risks in Turkey. It reads that many parts of Turkey regularly experience earthquakes and tremors.

These can be a high magnitude, cause damage to infrastructure, and pose a risk to life. Follow any advice given by the local authorities.

A second warning is in place due to high temperatures amid a heatwave that is scorching much of Europe, reports the Liverpool government website.

It states that high temperatures are affecting many areas of Turkey and there is a risk of wildfires. It comes as parts of Turkey’s neighbouring country Greece continue to be ravaged by wildfires.

Thousands of people have fled the island of Rhodes, with airlines operating repatriation flights in order to bring people home.
