Vaccinations Turkey

Planning a trip to Turkey soon? Preparing well can help make your holiday enjoyable and safe. It is important to note that visiting Turkey carries certain health risks, so vaccinations are recommended and may even be mandatory. The vaccinations you will need depend on factors such as the regions you will be visiting and the length of your stay. Simply make an appointment with us to get personalised travel advice.

Turkey is located on two continents: the majority of the country lies in Asia, while a small part is in Europe. The popular city of Istanbul is located right on this boundary. Turkey shares its borders with several countries, including Bulgaria, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Iran. The vast country has a variety of climates. Along the coasts, there is a Mediterranean climate, while inland there is a steppe climate, and the eastern regions have a temperate continental climate. Turkey is a highly popular holiday destination, with a stunning coastline, breathtaking landscapes, and cities rich in historical castles and mosques.
