Overview
- Turkey’s Culture Ministry and the national tourism agency say hotels, attractions and UK flights are running as booked across the country.
- The UK Foreign Office does not advise against travel to Turkey overall and warns against all travel within 10km of the Syria border.
- The FCDO notes ongoing fighting across the border, a higher terrorism risk near the frontier, and possible short‑notice road closures in Hatay.
- Some areas require permits, including Hakkari near the Iraq and Iran borders and Mount Ararat in Ağrı, which is a designated military zone.
- If an operator cancels a trip you are due a full refund, but choosing to cancel without official advice against travel depends on booking terms and ABTA guidance.
