Safety precautions should be taken in any country, Istanbul Turkey, is no different. Purse-snatching is likely to occur in public places and it is best not to pursue the perpetrators. Some taxi drivers hardly understand English, and their interpretation of even “yes” and “no” is extremely poor, so it would be wise to have a card with the name and address of your hotel so you can get back to where you started.It is not recommended that you take any preventative medication for any diseases, such as Malaria or flu vaccine. Perhaps bring your own medication for headache or migraines (if airport industry rules allow it) – as you will not find an over the counter experience there as to what you’re used to at home. However, Turkey has very good private hospitals, ambulance service and medical care.
