Sorry to burst your bubble but Turkey is far from dodgy! A close relative of mine has an apartment in Kas, southern Turkey, has had it for 8 years and goes there all the time, she is in her 70's and partially sighted. She and her friends 9 the golden girls as the locals call them ) absolutely love it there. I have also visited and we are going  there this October. Southern Turkey is beautiful and the locals are so welcoming and helpfull. The food is great and it is certainly safe ( as far as anywhere can be these days ) My Mum has made good friends with a local Turkish family and the company who look after the apartment are very trustworthy. So there you are!! This is Southern Turkey by the way, very European in its outlook. Actually the way the locals welcome you reminds me of how Spain was about 30 years ago, before they got bored of the tourists. It would seem that they need to go back to basics if they want to win us over again. A smile goes along way folks, and when we buy food in the supermarket, try putting it in the bag and not throwing it at us! Just basic manners really.
