Should I delete immediately my holidays in Turkey and go instead to Greece ? Greece is much SAFER, isn't it ?

Question

Hi, I am Barbara from UK, and I planned to go to Bodrum next week, but I'm so afraid because of the news ... Should I delete my holidays in Turkey?

Everybody advised me to visit Turkey, but now I think I'm going to change my plans and go instead to Greece or Italia...Probably Greece, I think...

Answer 1

Where did you learn to speak English? And why are you making up stupid stories on here?

go to www.getalife.com

Answer 2

Yeah sure, if you are from UK, so I am from Thailand...

Ok, go away now, we are tired and we want to sleep...

Bye bye pathetic moron.

Answer 3

Greece is absolutely better than BODRUM.

i SUGGEST YOU RODOS.

Answer 4

You are trolling...And I agree with Bla bla...

Answer 5

I tell you one thing - you are not British ... and least i hope not, or the education system has certainly deteriorated.

You do not "delete" a holiday 'Barbara' - you "cancel" it

..... so forgive me for thinking that actually you are not planning on going to either Greece or Turkey!

Answer 6

Dear Greek friends and Turkish neighbours,

no need to try to agree or disagree with this question by accusing each other! Don't you see that this is exactly what the question wants? To provoke an argument between us?

The truth is that both Greece and Turkey are touristic countries for a reason: they are beautiful, hospitable and worth visiting! So whatever anyone decides, I am sure they will have a good time.

As for rapes, it is true that I wouldn't walk alone or leave my child walk alone in the night in a foreign place.

Answer 7

I think both are safe places.But if you compare Turkey & Greece both, then for travelling Greece is best places for travelling. So, first you have to check detail information of both countries from site http://www.stayresgreece.com, http://www.stayresturkey.com. I hope it willbe helpfull for you.

Answer 8

Yeah Oestrogen Barbie, "delete" your holiday. Go to Greece instead.

Really, you should be aware that Turkey wouldn't lose anything if a tourist reads your trollic question and "deletes" her holiday here. We're not a country dependent on tourism, unlike some of our neighbours.

Pathetic.

Edit:

I observe the answers here and once again, I come to the conclusion that Greeks really deserve to be infamous for their classless, rude and ill mannered behaviour. I feel embarrassed when I read your supposed, witless insults.

God, even simple gypsies of the Balkans, who are unrightfully looked down upon by people who are not worthy than they are, appear more sympathetic than you are. It's just plain gross to see people like you. *shivers* Yuck.

Answer 9

I agree with bla bla - you are most definitely NOT British - we would NEVER say 'delete' Italia nor 'fly ticket'= Grow up

Answer 10

i could'nt a gree with you more barbara..you made the wise choice. who needs lukumi.(turkish delight).when the lukumi is right there on the beach all golden and adonic.with a smile that says welcome to our safe country. .....and i belive these days  you dont have to pick up a phone to cancel...you can simply DELETE from your computer..some people really have to keep up with the times  i tell you.. ....

Answer 11

Crete is great for holidays

Answer 12

Either you are British or not it doesn't matter!!!!! Of course I appreciate veeeeery much our neighbors and since I have visited Konstatinople(oops ...sorry but I am deeply influenced by our history!)people were very gentle and polite and helpful!Now,the fact that you gonna have holidays here is quite good!Of course,you don't have to worry about anything...no terrorists no fear!But I wouldn't say that Turkey is sooooo dangerous as you describe...

Anyway.....you made the right choice !

We all expect you to come and drink together a greek ouzo or tsipouro or treat you a delicious souvlaki!

Answer 13

Dear,

is your right to go anywhere you like, we Greeks don't need any negative comments about our neighbors in order to gain tourists.

I think each country has something special and unique to give to the traveler.Which country each person decides is his constitutional right.

Answer 14

Nice. Really nice. I hope you get the response you are looking for.

Answer 15

You didn't plan to go anywhere...

You are just trolling like an o.ç.

And we know that you are not even from UK...
