Judy, I agree with Lola, I'd check a US. Embassy for Turkey.
This morning on the Newspaper's front page was a big article on bombings in a vacation area in Turkey. Turkey used to be a very popular vacation land for the Germans, but now the country is struggling in the tourist branch because of the Irak war, among other things. I hate to be the only downer here, but you asked...and I feel I need to tell you what's happening over there now. Maybe you can find more news about it in Google.
Here is one link that I found.
