A total of six (including myself) are travelling to Kusadasi, Turkey in June and was wondering is it a safe place to go in relation to all the trouble that was happening, i.e. bombs in Istanbul and Bodrum. Is there an embassy or somewhere I could find out more before I pay the rest of the money on Monday.
Are you sure that Bodrum was ever bombed? I don't remember any attacks other than the recent ones in Istanbul and possibly somewhere like Marmaris or Antalya a few years ago?
While the majority religion is Islam the state itself is not strictly Muslim ever since Kemal Ataturk westernised and secularised it in the early 20th century...
but why are you going to Kusadasi? It's a kip. The most danger you'll be in is from tripping over a larger lout.
Sorry for taking so long to respond. We used realestate turkey (www.realestateturkey.com) and bought a 3 bed apartment at myndos hills in the Bodrum peninsula.
Went there in June. looks good. Just received the deeds yesterday.
