perhaps the better question would be "are turkish men easy?"

#12 Tart!

#6 Me thinks someone doth protest too much....!?

On a serious note: people the world over judge others my stereotypical images.

If you pander to that image [western women are easy] then expect to be hassled.

The difficulty is that behaviour that would be seen are normal in the west (though not always!) could be seen as being provocative abroad.

Again a little common sense goes a long way.

OK people ,let's admit one thing and stop pretending...most people again I say most not all.. expect and accept some kind of sexual adventure ( of various degrees) when they are on a holiday.many people may misbehave when they are on a holiday especially when they are away from home typically somewhere where they are totally anonymous.This ofcourse does not make anyone" easy" it is just that when you are on a holiday abroad your chances of sexually misbehaving are greater than at home.We all know that and the locals certainly know that.Your typical Turkish stud will never approach a woman that easy if he was in London but he will when he finds the same woman in a resort Turkish town because his chances of scoring are much higher than in London,am I right? tell me I am wrong?

No, you're right GT_I. When people are on holiday, with the sun, drink and relaxing atmosphere, they are more likely to engage themselves in activities that perhaps they would shy away from at home. Also, the fact that they know they are leaving in a short time speeds the whole process up.

Absolutely GTI. It goes both ways.

Can't help feeling this thread should go on FAQ or similar.

Also with;'Is bus traveller easy in Turkey?', 'am I going to get felt up?' ia another FAQ, and there is no simple answer.

Certainly not one that either implies western girls are sluts or Turkish men predatory!

Thanks for all your replies so far. I will be going with my sister and, reading your responses, I am more confident that we will be OK now. Thank you.

Fortunatley when travelling, we don't have a problem of seeing men through 'sun-goggles' and promescuity is not an issue for us. We don't have a 'what happens away, stays away' attitude - people still carry STD's.

RE: 18... is questionning diving sunken cities a FAQ? I certainly couldn't find any other information on it... that's why I was asking. But thank you to everyone who made suggestions, we will definitely try and go to all the places that you have recommended. Again, thank you so much.
