1. Why you should feel safe while gulet cruising in Turkey?
You maybe were planning a gulet cruise getaway and fun way of gulet cruising with your family or friends, but your most significant worry is safety. Turkey has been doing its best to provide humanitarian efforts to help people who flee the war zones outside the Turkish borders. This has never affected Turkish tourism areas during the last 6-7 years. Turkey is a big country, expanding on 783.562 km² / 8434.191ft². The most attractive cruising areas people are visiting are located in the far most Western zone of the country away from problematic areas affected by conflicts. Actual political crisis/conflict is taking place outside the far Southeastern border of the country. It is over 1.000 kilometers / 650 miles (almost the same distance between New York and South Carolina) away from your vacation area, and 80% of the country is under no serious travel warnings. Deciding not to visit Turkey because of what’s happening in a few regions would be a loss.
On the other hand, if airports are your main worry you must know that Turkey is a country of tourism, with very modern and equipped airports along the South-Western coast. You will be flying from/to Turkey either from Dalaman International Airport (DLM) or Milas International Airport (BJV). Again, some more than 1.000 kilometers / 650 miles away from possible conflict areas outside the Turkish borders. And if you are doing connecting flights, you will be connecting from Istanbul.
