Exactly Martyn! the media have played a big part in deterring British tourists for sure; there is a general ignorance as to the geography of Turkey and when I tell people the UK has a higher security alert status than Turkey and that actually Kalkan to the Syrian border is further than London to Prague there is usually a look of pure incredulity. Sadly people believe they are "safer" in Europe, well HELLO! . . . . . Paris?
