My dad has completely fallen out with me and told me to cancel it (I would lose all money because its in August) because he says its full of Muslims and with all the Tunisia drama etc.

I understand that he is worried about our safety because he loves us but I tried to say that we have had two terrorist attacks in the UK in the last ten years and in Paris in the last year. All of which were closer to home than Turkey is to Cyria and Tunisia.

Is there any concrete evidence that Turkey is a dangerous country or is it all scaremongering in the media?

Any information would be brilliant..

We've been to Turkey a few times,always found it lovely and people friendly,I think it's safe as it can be,no where is really safe,and I would probably think a bit more now of going back yet due to the closeness of Syria,but if you are on a complex I am sure they will have some sort of security in place,just be alert and careful.Your dad is probably just worried.
