Speaking at the Elite Conference for Independents in Cadiz, The Independent senior travel editor Simon Calder said any concerns among tourists about visiting the country due to its border with Syria are entirely unfounded.
He explained with 400,000 soldiers, the country has the biggest army in Europe, adding: “If an Isis soldier puts a boot across the border I don’t think they’re getting as far as Bodrum frankly.”
Instead, he said the country has “shot itself in the foot” with its new e-visa system which only takes payments in dollars, despite being on Europe’s doorstep.
