Health and Hygiene in Turkey  (30 Posts) thepartysover Tue
11-Feb-14 10:56:55  Turkey has been added to the list of moot
destinations by the in-laws (who we're travelling with) on
account that "it's dirty", meaning water and food, standards of
hygiene etc. We've seen a resort that we really like the look of
but want to please everyone - what are other people's
experiences? Is there anything I can say to put her mind at rest
or should we just look elsewhere?  SooticaTheWitchesCat Tue
11-Feb-14 11:43:05  I lived in Turkey and I can confirm that it
is very clean. I have been travelling there for 20 years and I
have never once been ill.  Turks are amazingly clean people,
obsessively so to be honest! The water is clean but as in most
Mediterranean countries it has a high mineral content so it is
better to drink bottled water.  The food is amazing. The only
time you are likely to get not so good is if you go to a really
cheap, low quality AI hotel, which I wouldn't want to go to
anywhere in the world! Turkish food
