概要
The vast majority of Turkey, including Istanbul, Cappadocia, and the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts, is perfectly safe to visit. These areas remain well-policed, stable, and accustomed to international tourism. According to the U.S. Department of State, the country has been downgraded to a Level 2 advisory, meaning travelers should exercise increased caution rather than avoid the country entirely. The terrorism incidents that caused many people to avoid Turkey several years ago are now in the past, with no large-scale attacks reported in the past two to three years.
However, listeners should strictly avoid certain regions. The U.S. Department of State, UK Foreign Office, and Canadian government all advise against all travel to within six to ten kilometers of the Syria border. Additionally, avoid non-essential travel to the southeastern provinces of Şırnak and Hakkari due to ongoing military operations and unpredictable security situations. The U.S. State Department specifically prohibits travel to these provinces due to the continued threat of terrorist attacks, armed conflict, and civil unrest.
Germany's Federal Foreign Office issued a heightened travel warning on December 27, 2025, following the arrest of 115 suspected Islamic State members earlier that week. The advisory singles out Şırnak, Hakkâri, Mardin, and Gaziantep provinces, and recommends heightened vigilance in major cities such as Istanbul and Ankara during the New Year holiday period. This warning came alongside similar advisories from France and the Netherlands.
Terrorist organizations continue to view foreigners and religious sites as potential targets. Large gatherings, popular tourist landmarks, and areas near government or military installations should be avoided. The U.S. Embassy in Ankara issued a demonstration alert on December 5, noting continued risk of demonstrations across the country, though these have not significantly impacted tourist safety.
Practical precautions include registering with your embassy upon arrival, carrying a physical copy of your passport and visa, obtaining comprehensive travel insurance, using official taxis or ride-share apps, and downloading emergency contact apps. Avoid political gatherings or protests, and be particularly vigilant during sporting events, cultural events, religious holidays, and major political occasions. If you travel near border areas despite advisories, exercise extreme caution, expect heightened military presence, avoid traveling after dark, and monitor local media for current security situations.
