Tours and flights to Mexico or Europe are now very well known, and have likewise been well traveled. In the United States, Turkey is relatively unknown. Actually it is probably the best kept secret in Europe as every summer, thousands of French, Italians and Germans flock to Turkey. Nonetheless, Turkey is becoming very accessible to the American market. Direct flights from New York, Chicago, and Miami make travel hassle-free.
Turkey is very safe.
On the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, Turkish people, look, dress and behave just like their European neighbors. But all Turks share an interest and respect for foreigners, and cannot help but be hospitable to strangers. Crime, per capita, in Turkey is among the lowest in the world. And there is no shortage of police officers to maintain the peace. Throughout Turkey, there are American hospitals with highly trained, English speaking doctors and physicians who are able to handle any eventuality.
