According to polls where Russians plan to spend the long New Year holidays, about 20% will go abroad. Most are in Turkey. This year, this direction has gained even more popularity, although earlier Turkish resorts were in demand among Russians. If your plans include visiting this hot country, but you are traveling in splendid isolation, we advise you to familiarize yourself with our material so as not to get into an unpleasant situation.
No light flirting
Of course, you want to afford a little more on vacation, but not with hot Turkish men. Flirting with a stranger, especially if you are alone in a city bar in the evening, can lead to sad consequences because from the moment you made it clear to the man that you are interested in communication, you are no longer in control of the situation. At the same time, even in a hotel bar, you must be careful and politely refuse to meet, especially if there are several men. Flirting in Turkey is not as harmless as you might think.
Choose your hotel carefully
Nothing is surprising in the fact that you want to save money on a trip in such a “hot” season. But are you ready to sacrifice not only comfort but also safety? We think not. Too cheap hotels can be an incredibly dangerous place, especially if such a hotel is too far from the tourist center. Think about how you will return late at night. It is difficult to imagine a more inappropriate accommodation option for a single tourist than a super-budget hotel on the outskirts of the city.
Reach out to locals of your gender
Naturally, anything can happen. You can go on a tour, shop, or just get carried away by the stunning view, losing your way back. What to do? You have to ask passers-by for directions. It is essential to understand who you are going to contact here. In the concept of many residents, the appeal of a single girl to an unknown man is regarded as flirting. Don’t take risks. Reach out to the woman or family.
Keep your loved ones in the know
Even if you are traveling alone, keep in touch with someone from your family or friends. Are you planning a long excursion with a private guide? Tell your family about this. Have you met fellow countrymen and are planning a fun evening at the bar? Also, tell your friend about it in a message. In any case, do not be reckless in wanting to take a year off in advance.
