  Not surprising that people are cancelling what with terrorism and now an attempted coup.

  Speaking as one who has happily travelled through many 'difficult' places during the last 40 years, this is pure scaremongering.

  Those that have cancelled or plan to will still have to pay as the Foreign Office hasn't warned people not to go.

  What seems very dubious about the coup is that immediately 3000 arrest warrants were issued almost as if the list was made out in advance. The President seems to want Turkey to be an Islamic state yet him and his wife hardly live a deeply devout lifestyle.
