<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSecurity in the hotel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There also wasn\u2019t any additional security staff in and around our hotel. The entrance from the street was “guarded” by a porter, but everyone who briefly waved a room card or the obligatory wristband was able to enter the complex. Vehicles were also “checked” by him by before opening the barrier. So access to the hotel was actually pretty easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Same deal with the entrance from the beach side. A guard, unarmed, sat in a small house at the main entrance to the pool area. A smaller sidewalk was completely unsupervised. A gate with a padlock was supposed to offer additional security but it was wide open! From the beach, the wristband was enough to enter the hotel grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is not what a secured hotel complex looks like! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
On our walks, we could also get an impression of the situation in other hotels and also the handling in the nearby shopping malls. From the street side and also from the beach side the hotels were secured by simple guards. Some of the hotels which were still in hibernation during off season were only guarded at the street side. The access from the beach was secured with locked gates. The only “security check” that suggested a little extra safety happened on one of our shopping days where we had to pass through a metal detector. Only the umbrella, which we squeezed past the side of the metal detector, did not get checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our conclusion on security:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We did not feel unsafe during our stay. But there were also no additional safety measures to protect tourists. Perhaps it is a little different in larger cities. But in this small place, which really only consisted of hotels, we did not have the feeling of not being safe at any time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
“Please take a look at the safety precautions and tell me about it!” we were asked by our travel agent Lisa \u2013 bless her soul! \u2013 who helped arrange many of our adventures through her agency \u201cLisa\u2019s Reiseagentur\u201d.<\/p>\n
To fly to Turkey shortly after the attack in Istanbul was apparently unthinkable for some of her clients. So we had a closer look on safety and security measures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9393,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[143],"tags":[145],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
