FAQ About Holidays In Turkey

While tap water in Turkey is generally considered safe for hygiene purposes, it is advisable to drink bottled or filtered water to avoid the risk of stomach discomfort or waterborne illnesses, especially if you have a sensitive stomach or are not accustomed to the local water supply.

In most cities and tourist areas, bottled water is widely available and affordable. Look for sealed bottles from reputable brands to ensure quality. It's a good idea to carry a bottle of water with you when you're out and about, particularly in warmer months to stay hydrated.

In some rural or remote areas, the quality of tap water may vary, and it's best to rely on bottled or filtered water for drinking and brushing your teeth.

Additionally, be cautious when consuming beverages with ice cubes or consuming raw fruits and vegetables that may have been washed with tap water. It's safer to peel fruits and vegetables or wash them with bottled or filtered water before consumption.

By taking these precautions, you can enjoy your time in Turkey without worrying about potential water-related health issues.
