Listeners interested in traveling to Turkey should be aware that as of late June 2025, official sources urge travelers to exercise increased caution throughout the country due to regional events and ongoing security concerns, particularly in certain southeastern border regions. The U.S. Department of State has issued a Level 2 travel advisory for Turkey, which means travelers are advised to exercise increased caution due to risks related to terrorism and the potential for arbitrary detentions. Some areas, however, have a higher risk profile.

Specifically, travelers are strongly advised not to travel to Sirnak province, Hakkari province, or any area within six miles—or ten kilometers—of the Syrian border. These areas are considered dangerous due to ongoing threats of terrorist attacks, armed conflict, and civil unrest. Security incidents in these provinces have included bombings, shootings, and violent roadblocks, and U.S. government employees are subject to strict travel restrictions there. Similar guidance is echoed by the UK Foreign Office and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, which advise against all travel to these border regions due to security concerns.

Despite these warnings for certain regions, the vast majority of Turkey—including its popular cities and resort areas such as Istanbul, Antalya, and Bodrum—remains open and safe for tourists. Recent reports confirm that daily life and tourism in major destinations continue uninterrupted, and the Turkish government has invested significantly in visitor safety, with a visible security presence in tourist zones. Many travelers continue to experience trouble-free stays in these areas, and Turkey has recently seen record numbers of visitors, with over 57 million tourists in 2023.

Travelers should still exercise basic precautions. These include keeping a low profile, staying away from large gatherings and demonstrations, using only licensed taxis and reputable tour providers, securing valuables in hotel safes, and monitoring local news and government advisories. Pickpocketing and petty theft can occur in crowded places, so vigilance is advised, and it is a good idea to purchase travel insurance and carry necessary documentation such as passports and visas at all times. Following cultural norms, dressing modestly in conservative areas, and respecting local customs will contribute to a positive travel experience.

In summary, Turkey remains a safe and vibrant destination for most tourists in 2025, but listeners should avoid southeastern and border-adjacent provinces and always stay informed by checking the latest official travel advisories before and during their trip.
