I loved antalya, i felt very safe there. i stayed in konyaalti, very nice area, stunning beach, with a lot of beach clubs restaurants … i would recommand the suluada boat trip, visiting the duden waterfalls, the old town as well, i ate the lahmacun which was very delicious, i would say its quite expensive, for transport i used taxis mainly and it was fine

Features everything you could ever want to vist, good food, nice buildings, good transport. Problem, I didn't feel very safe. People there try to profit off the fact that youre not from around. But otherwise nice. Bring water
Posted: June 24, 2025Experienced: May, 2024Safe place for solo travelers. However, the taxi guys are ruthless if they see you are traveling alone as a woman or with a female friend. The biggest turn off was that taxi drivers dropped me off me and my friend in some place that we didn't ask to be dropped off. And when we asked them to take us to our actual destination, one of the drivers got aggressive and opened the door asking us to get out. We wanted to visit the Haggia Sophia instead we ended up in a different mosque in a strange part of the city. Trying to find our way back same and the issue occurred. We got dropped off at a bridge that had no sidewalk for pedestrians and had to walk on the shoulder of the road. After this experience, we decided to only explore places we could reach by foot.

I’ve been to many cities before and I can honestly say I’ve never felt anywhere near as safe as I felt in Istanbul. Petty crime is a big no no here and heavily punished so people just don’t do it. At cafés, people would leave their phones and bags on the table while going to the bathroom and no one would touch it. It was really refreshing to not have to worry about getting your stuff stolen. Everyone was also super kind and welcoming. Hotel’s are very cheap and public transport is simple and inexpensive and there are many different options for transport. You can take the subway from the airport into the city and between the European and Asian sides (I’d recommend seeing both, as they are very different) Food is generally cheap, but research places before hand as certain restaurants, particularly in Sultanahmet (touristy area) can be incredible experience.

It’s really safe city. Sometimes I walk at night and I feel safe enough. No one attacekd me before or any of my things stolen before. Just people doesn’t so much respectfull to different cultures. When they see a different person they can stare at you.
Posted: June 29, 2025Its definetly not safe for a foreigner. Saying that as someone who grew up there and still living. Those peoples even stole my toys when i was a little girl 😔 monsters.. Jokes aside its really not safe. Try to stay away from espically man in İzmir cause they are high potential harrasers.
