Travel Information for Turkey
Turkey LGBTQ+ Rights
Turkey presents a mixed environment for LGBTQ+ individuals, with significant progress in some areas but challenges in others. Homosexuality has been legal in Turkey since 1858, and the country has relatively progressive laws compared to many of its regional neighbors. However, same-sex marriage is not recognized, and there are no national protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in key areas such as employment, housing, and public services.
In urban centers like Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir, LGBTQ+ communities can find vibrant social scenes, inclusive spaces, and support networks, with events such as Istanbul Pride gaining visibility over the years. However, these events have faced crackdowns in recent years, and activism for LGBTQ+ rights often encounters resistance from the government. The political climate, influenced by conservative religious views and traditional values, can create challenges for LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly outside of major cities.
Public attitudes toward LGBTQ+ people in Turkey can be more conservative, particularly in rural areas, where traditional views often dominate. While major cities tend to be more open and progressive, LGBTQ+ individuals are advised to exercise discretion when in more conservative regions. For LGBTQ+ travelers, Turkey offers a blend of rich history, stunning landscapes, and a mix of liberal and conservative social environments, making it essential to stay informed and respectful of local customs.
What Everyone Does In Turkey
Explore the rich history and culture of Istanbul, visiting iconic landmarks such as the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar. Stroll along the Bosphorus, where Europe and Asia meet, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the city’s markets and cafés. Indulge in traditional Turkish cuisine, from street food like kebabs and baklava to fine dining in luxurious restaurants. Of course, no trip is complete without experiencing a traditional Turkish bath, or hammam, for ultimate relaxation.
What Some People Do in Turkey
Relax in the stunning resorts along the Turkish Riviera, in places like Bodrum, Marmaris, and Antalya, where private beaches, spa treatments, and world-class service await. For a unique experience, take a private yacht cruise along Turkey’s coast to explore secluded coves, hidden beaches, and charming coastal villages. Many also visit the ancient ruins of Ephesus or the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia, with its hot air balloon rides offering breathtaking views of the unique rock formations.
What No One Does In Turkey
Take a private hot air balloon ride over the otherworldly landscapes of Pamukkale’s white mineral terraces or Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys. Explore the underground cities of Kaymakli, where ancient civilizations once took refuge. For the truly adventurous, embark on a multi-day yacht charter to explore the hidden coves of the Lycian coast, accessible only by boat, offering a truly exclusive experience of Turkey’s coastal beauty.
Getting to Turkey
Getting to Turkey is relatively easy, as the country is well-connected by air to major cities around the world. The main international gateway is Istanbul Airport, one of the busiest and most modern airports in the world, offering direct flights from cities across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America. Airlines such as Turkish Airlines, British Airways, Lufthansa, and Emirates provide frequent and direct services to Istanbul from cities like New York, London, Dubai, Paris, and Frankfurt.
For travelers coming from Europe, Istanbul is just a few hours away, with numerous daily flights available. Additionally, other major cities in Turkey, such as Ankara, Izmir, and Antalya, are accessible via direct flights from various international airports.
Once in Turkey, the country’s extensive domestic flight network, as well as trains, buses, and ferries, make it easy to travel around. Whether you’re exploring the ancient ruins of Ephesus, relaxing on the Mediterranean coast, or enjoying the vibrant culture of Istanbul, getting around Turkey is convenient and well-connected. For those traveling within the country, regional airports and high-speed train services offer seamless options to explore Turkey’s diverse regions.
