This is so sad

Im worried my sister in law is over in Marmaris and my young niece

She never took her mobile and bit worried not heard anything from them

This is her first time in Turkey i talked her into going so i feel terrible does any one know how i can get in touch with them just to make sure there are safe?

And our thoughts go out to all thoses who are injured

We are due to go to Kussadasi in3 weeks and my young daughter does not want to go now

We are flying out in 3 weeks and at the minute we will still be going, the only thing I can say is that it will probably escalate the security measures and you have to be a little more alert for your own safety.

If you look at it in terms numbers, there have been more bombings in UK than there has in Turkey so I think are plans will stay as they are for now.

the news is scary but at the moment there are no deaths. The PKK haven't claimed responsibility but it looks like their work. most of the injured are turkish.I sympathise with all that are coming out here, it must be worrying.These incidents are designed to cause maximum panic and the news coverage has accentuated this.

This is so sad. Marmaris is a great place, obviously it is a very worrying time for freinds and relatives of those in Marmaris.

The foreign office have released a telephone helpline number for those concerned about friends/relatives: 020 7008 0000

Managed to speak to my Turkish friend in Marmaris this morning (thankfully they are all ok) he said that they were all very worried but hoped that it had no lasting effect on local tourism.

Thıs one wasnt a bomb. It was a controlled explosıon carrıed out by professıonals to remove a suspıcıous package

Lilcheekymonkey sorry but you may find you will be panicking those people due to fly out soon. Maybe better to wait for the full facts as if it was a "suspicious" package that was made safe ithat is different from a bomb blast!!!

Has anyone claimed responsibility for it?
My sympathy to anyone who thinks their families or friends may be involved and those travelling soon, it makes people so worried.
Thanks for keeping us informed Monkey, going to watch the news now.
This must be the last thing the Turkish tourist industry needs haveing just suffered a bad year anyway.

Terrorism

Don't let the terrorists win, don't cancel your well earned holidays to Turkey or indead anywhere else. I am going out to Turkey Sept 11th for 2 weeks, and no idiots will stop me, I can go into London or indead gods own city of Gloucester and get blown up (ok Gloucester I have more chance of being mugged by junkie), but the point is it is everwhere and we shouldn't be put of by these people.

I know it is a hard call for some and I know people ar scared, BUT, if we change our plans or cancel our hols just because some Biggots think we should then we are just helping there so called cause.

Be strong people, enjoy your holidays, see the beutiful country that is Turkey
