British tourists have been warned to take care while taking part in adventure outdoor tourism in Turkey.
The UK Government urged tourists to take precautions while doing extreme sports, jeep safaris, water sports and while using a quad bike or moped.
All of these popular activities come with risks and tourists will need to make sure they have the appropriate travel insurance to take part.
Tourists should also make sure that they are using a reputable operator with a licence and the correct equipment.
Holiday operators should be able to recommend reputable companies in the area but tourists should also exercise caution.
The FCDO advice states: “If you do an extreme sport, check that adequate safety precautions are in place. British nationals have been injured and killed doing extreme sports.”
The FCDO states: “Jeep safaris can be dangerous, there were a number of reported accidents in 2023.”
British tourists need to have specific travel insurance that covers quad biking and they should always read the small print of their policy.
Book activities at a licensed water sports centre.
