Don't drink tap water and take the usual precautions in the sun.
Warnings
Women wishing to avoid attracting unwanted attention may want to dress like the locals - keeping torso, legs and upper arms covered.
Emergency
The emergency number is 155 for police, 112 for an ambulance. The nearest British Consulate is in the Yesil Marmaris Travel Agency and Yacht Management building at Barbaros Caddesi 249, No 118 Marina, 48700 Marmaris. Tel: 252 412 6486.
Customs
Unrelated men and women must not sit next to each other on public transport. Shaking your head from side to side means 'I don't understand'.
Pets
You can take animals into Turkey with the correct paperwork but they would have to go into quarantine on return to the UK.
Tipping
In the cheapest restaurants, tipping is not necessary. In more upmarket eateries a 10-15% charge is normally added to your bill, but this goes to the owner, so most people choose to leave another 5% for the waiting staff. In taxis, just round up the metered fare.
Tourist office
Turkish Tourist Office, 170-173 Piccadilly, 1st Floor, London, W1V 9DD.Tel: 020 7355 4207.
