We are all fully vaccinated, and we are comfortable moving around, but I know they have a high rate of Covid and deaths here. It appears that their government is putting the economy first.
Onboard, airline staff didn’t always wear a mask and did not enforce it among passengers either. Lots people were moving around the cabin to chat to friends in other rows without masks. But there was no shortage of alcohol served. On arrival in Izmir no one checked our Covid info. I did witness on the return journey people who didn’t have a negative PCR result or a vaccine cert being turned away from the airport by the airline. I will say hotels are strict enough on seeing the vaccine cert. Restaurants want to see it too, so have it to hand. Social distancing required for all tourist attractions.
I was apprehensive about travelling but I am very glad we decided to go in the end. Both teens are now doubly vaccinated so next time we go we will hopefully have a more seamless experience.
