Government guidance for people travelling to Turkey has been updated by the UK Foreign Office. Previously, the Government department advised people from the UK to avoid "all but essential travel" to a number of the nation's provinces.
This was because the security situation in the Middle East region is unpredictable and may become increasingly volatile. However, the Liverpool Echo reports that as of Thursday (August 11), the Government has said it "no longer advises against all but essential travel to Tunceli, Diyarbakir, Kilis and Hatay provinces".
The Foreign Office continues to advise against all but essential travel to Sirnak, and the province of Hakkari, as well as any other areas within 10km of the border with Syria. Most resorts popular with UK tourists are on Turkey's west coast, a considerable way from these areas.
