I traveled to Turkey solo and never felt unsafe. I did feel uncomfortable at times and struggled in Istanbul to shrug some guys off trying to get me to come to their shop. I did a road trip along the entire turquoise coast and in some smaller towns I was stared at a bit, but I was never felt unsafe just uncomfortable.
Posted: December 2, 2023I fell in love with turkey in 2022. In 2023 I decided to spend more days in this country. It was wonderful trip full of joy and adventures. There are so many interesting places full of hospitable people I'll return soon
Posted: October 12, 2023Experienced: July, 2023I love Turkey. I’ve been a couple of times and I’ve backpacked it solo. I loved it and always felt safe. There were probably only one or two instances out of four times I’ve been where men were making me a bit uncomfortable (these were both in Istanbul).
Posted: July 27, 2023I just spent a few months in Turkey and never experienced harassment, just some obvious stares from mainly older men and in the big cities (Izmir, Istanbul). I spent most of my time in Kas and Cappadocia and never felt uncomfortable in either of those places and felt safe even walking at night time. I recommend checking out Kas - it has the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever been to.
Posted: July 26, 2023My sister and I went to Istanbul and Cappadocia. In Istanbul, we were constantly being talked to by men trying to sell us something. We would try to get even one block in certain areas without some man trying to coax us into his store or restaurant and putting his arm around us and flirting. Very uncomfortable. Cappadocia was fine though.
Posted: July 24, 2023I loved Türkiye. I've been there twice and it was incredible both times. The beaches and coastlines are amazing and so so beautiful. I really loved Kaş, Kemer, Bodrum, Kuşadasi, and Ölüdeniz. Istanbul is also lovely and a wonderful experience.
Posted: July 23, 2023I’ve been to Istanbul, Cappadocia, Antalya, and Kas. All were great. Pamukkale is a cool experience, and I also really enjoyed Bodrum. I spent 2 days in Konya as well, which is a much more traditional, less touristy city. Super friendly people and a huge outdoor market.
Posted: July 9, 2023I did 2 weeks in Turkey (Istanbul, Cappadocia region, and Antalya) and felt safe everywhere even walking alone at night. I did dress conservatively (long pants and t-shirts) in Istanbul and Cappadocia but Antalya had a much more beachy and lots of people wore shorts and crop tops.

I'm considering a solo trip to Istanbul. I've always desperately wanted to go and it isn't too expensive but none of my friends are interested. However, I've been advised by multiple people not to go to Turkey on my own. I was under the impression that (so long as I dressed ok etc) Turkey was very safe for solo female travelers. Any advice?
Posted: May 13, 2023I am looking forward for a solo trip to Turkey for max 10 days. Can someone recommend which month is Turkey best to visit, places and cities I can cover in 7-8 days.
Posted: December 20, 2022Does anyone have experience with Turkey and Georgia? Planning to visit both in June. I have 30 nights to spend. Any suggestions for itinerary?
Posted: November 29, 2022I’m about to travel solo to Turkey. Recommendations on beautiful places to visit are welcomed. I’d also love to hear your experiences travelling alone as a woman. I’m planning to stay in hostels and will be there mid/end November. I’m looking forward to reading your suggestions & advice ♥️
