Is it dangerous to travel to Turkey alone?

Is it dangerous to travel to Turkey alone? This was one of the first questions that crossed my mind before going to Turkey, as the media showed different public disorders and attacks that were occurring in the nation (in 2016) but I kept it for me , because I heard different opinions that the only thing that made me feel was fear and doubts about my trip and since I am a person who believes that the mind is everything and everything that is thought is attracted, I decided to risk traveling alone to Turkey without any prejudice or expectation and experience for myself the culture and the country.



When the plane was landing in Istanbul - Turkey, I cannot deny that I felt fear and I told myself that I had to face what was coming since there was no turning back, since the plane landed I felt a human warmth and kindness that I had not felt in my own country and it is something strange because Colombians are very hot and friendly, although I travel to Turkey without any prejudice, I had several fears in my mind, because being a Muslim country I thought that women they would be limited and without freedom something that worried me because I was going to be alone and I wanted to travel and explore as much as I could, I thought that this was going to present me problems because my dress was different from that of Muslim women, additional to this I don't know why , I thought that everything was deserted (I know that ignorance but that is what they show on television) and oh surprise when I saw all the technology organization and freedom they have so much man res as women, in addition to this bars, yes, in all the cities of Turkey you find bars where you can dance and drink beer or whatever you like haha, it is something that surprised me quite a bit and I did not expect.



My tour of Turkey mainly started in Istanbul after visiting the cities of Izmir and Cappadocia this trip lasted a little more than 17 days, without presenting any security problem, it is more not present even problems when I changed my money because they always give you receipt and They give you the exact money without any kind of trap, in addition to this people are very friendly and although they do not speak your language they are always willing to help you, cities have cameras in every corner, you always see a policeman and you also meet other tourists If you ask me if Turkey is a safe country to travel alone? My answer without hesitation for a single moment is absolutely YES! The country is safe and besides that it is lovely, I would say that it is a country where the people who visit it are wanting more, I do not think there is a person who has only gone to Turkey once or at least I do not want to return, for example I have already gone 3 times and waiting for a fourth time, it has been the trips with the greatest meaning for me the greatest risk that I run is to want to return again and again! So if it is among your plans to know Turkey take a chance, it is the best thing that could happen to you.
