However, many parts of Turkey are subject to earthquakes. In their latest update, the Foreign Office has warned travellers about an earthquake drill taking place this week.
On November 12 2022 Turkey will conduct a nationwide earthquake preparedness drill. At 6.57pm local time sirens are expected to sound, and announcements to be made by TV and radio stations across the country.
Travellers should familiarise themselves with safety procedures in the event of an earthquake and follow the advice of the local authorities. The US Federal Emergency Management Agency has information about what to do before, during and after an earthquake.
