Anyone been to Turkey this year?

Given the recent and on-going gang wars in Manchester i'd say you're more likely to get shot here.
A few of my friends have been to Turkey this year and loved it. My neighbour is going tomorrow for the third time this year.

Now if you`d had said Salford was more likely ... ;)
Admittedly,everyone you speak to who has holidayed in Turkey gives the same report,a wonderful country with great people,but for me personally I prefer to give it a wide berth,as is Africa and Egypt especially,which we love to bits after three wonderful times there.
 
I've been 8 times in the last decade. It's a beautiful country with lovely people. Going again on saturday. Although I probably won't go back to Istanbul anytime soon, which is a pity as it's a magnificent city.

where abouts you going
 
I've been 5 times - 2002, 2003, 2007, 2014, and last year. All great holidays but would probably swerve it for now due to the failed coup and the terrorist attack at Istanbul airport. Before that, the terror threats tended to be concentrated on specific areas where tourists were unlikely to go but it seems ISIS have changed tack over there with the Istanbul attack.

As for Marmaris, I've stayed there twice and never had the kind of issues that others refer to.
