'I live in Turkey – there's one thing holidaymakers should know about protests'

Tourists planning a trip to Turkey have been left feeling uneasy following a travel warning earlier this week. The allure of Turkey's dynamic urban centres such as Antalya and Istanbul have traditionally drawn in millions of visitors annually.

However, caution was urged by the Foreign Office who updated their advisory on March 24 regarding visits to Istanbul and other Turkish cities amid ongoing civil unrest.

Travellers were alerted by the travel authority's stark warning that "demonstrations may become violent. The police response has included use of tear gas and water cannons." To guide British nationals in making informed decisions regarding overseas travel, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) offers crucial advice aimed at enhancing personal safety and security.

It routinely shares helpful hints and highlights the risks involved to ensure travellers remain safe while abroad. Nevertheless, a resident from Istanbul named Andonino has come forth with insider guidance for those soon visiting Turkey.
