Should travellers be avoiding Istanbul at the moment?

Absolutely not. Istanbul is safe and all are welcome. Visitors should explore the old and new town – both are beautiful.

Best place for adventure holidays?

Oludeniz would be my pick. There are so many adventure activities available such as jeep safari, paragliding, scuba diving, river rafting, trekking..

Top Turkish dish to try?

That’s a hard question because Turkey is a foodie’s paradise. However Alinazik kebap is definitely one my favourites. It is roasted eggplant and yoghurt with meat and tomato sauce.

Your favourite place? 

The definite highlights are Istanbul, Cappadocia and Pamukkale.
