Reviews of tourists about the rest in Turkey - 2021. Conditions of entry

Should you go to your favorite Turkish resorts in 2021? Let's see what tourists have to say about their holiday in Turkey in general and specifically now, after the abolition of quarantine.

Reviews about the holiday in Turkey now

At the resorts everything is as usual - life goes on. There are very few tourists so far. In public places and on the street, it is imperative to wear masks, otherwise the fine is 900 lira, but not everyone observes this. We advise you to wear a mask, without it you may not be allowed into transport, a cafe or a store. In the hotel, tourists can walk without masks, but the staff is obliged.

There are thermal imagers at the entrance to the hotels. If the temperature is over 37 degrees, they squeak. On the beaches the sun loungers are longer than usual. Mass events cannot be held indoors.

Disinfection is constantly carried out in hotels, cafes and restaurants. According to tourists' reviews, thanks to the introduction "health certificates" for hotels, service and cleanliness have improved significantly! Cutlery is now individually served, food is laid by the waiter, and linen, towels and bathrobes are packed and sealed. A "health certificate" is issued if the hotel has taken all measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection. We told you how to check Turkish hotels for a certificate.

On weekends in Turkey is now valid curfew: All restaurants, shopping centers and other public places are closed from Friday evening until 5:00 am Monday, except grocery stores and take-out catering. However, restrictions do not apply to foreign tourists and do not apply on the territory of hotels (their own restaurants and other establishments operate without restrictions).

_travel_dancer_: "Checking the temperature every day. The distance on the beach, the distance between the sun loungers is 1.5 m. There are much fewer people in hotels than usual, because there are no big queues, the pool and good places on the beach are half empty. Mask mode, as elsewhere, with the entrance to shops and shopping centers, on the street is not needed. Buffet: in principle, the menu has not changed, the only thing is that all the food is now under glass, and you just "poke your finger" at the dishes you like, and the staff puts everything on the plate themselves. "

mir2010: "On July 3, all cafes and restaurants where you can eat on a budget have already opened. As well as shopping centers and shops. The entrance must be wearing a mask."

Ivairina: "The social distance between the sun loungers is observed, there are few people - the occupancy rate of hotels is from 20 to 50 percent. The situation on the city beaches is completely different, the people lie plump on the sun loungers. Many foreigners, apparently, live here permanently or have somehow already arrived here."

violates29: "There are few foreign tourists, there are enough local tourists, but still Antalya is not busy as in the old days. If you are in Turkey now, seize the moment, this is a great time to visit various interesting places. Air conditioners in transport work with open windows."

Entry rules to Turkey now

Attention: From December 28, 2020, Turkey began to require a certificate with a negative covid test result made no more than 72 hours before arrival. So far, this rule has been established for a period until May 26, 2021.

From March 15, 2021, a new rule has been introduced: everyone entering Turkey must before departure fill out an electronic questionnaire on the website of the Ministry of Health and there get HES code... The procedure is simple, the main thing is not to forget about it, because without a questionnaire they will not even be allowed on board the plane. The completed application form must be printed or saved on a smartphone. The HES code is needed for domestic flights, intercity travel, and almost everywhere in Istanbul (public transport, coffee shops, baths, theaters, etc.).

Before passing through passport control, everyone will have their temperature measured. If a passenger with a coronavirus is identified, he will be hospitalized, and everyone with whom the patient was in contact and sat next to him will be quarantined. If there is a temperature, but there are no symptoms, they are sent for isolation to a hotel for 5-7 days. Then - a repeated test, based on the results of which it is decided whether to send the tourist to rest or to be hospitalized. By the way, hoteliers undertake to pay for isolation in the hotel and meals themselves, and in order to cover the costs of treatment, we advise you to buy insurance against COVID-19. It is convenient to choose good insurance on the Cherekhapa service - a policy with coverage for the treatment of coronavirus costs from 400 rubles per week, plus they have a convenient website and a good support service.

Also, at Turkish airports, you can do a test for 15 euros - the result is promised in an hour. But upon arrival back to Russia, you need to do a PCR test within 72 hours. Read more about the message of the embassy.

Ivairina: "You can't walk without a mask at the airport, signs about social distance are posted everywhere. The seats are glued through one with tape so that they don't sit next to each other. All airport employees wear gloves, masks, protective helmets. At the entrance and exit, all tourists measure the temperature. The same thing happens in shops, pharmacies, and other closed institutions. "
