Turkey is currently not in the EU so would not be covered by any EHIC or any other European health insurance schemes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are heading to Turkey then you must have comprehensive travel insurance because medical and health costs are very high. You must also check the latest situation on Turkey with the UK government&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/foreign-travel-advice\/turkey\">Turkey travel advice<\/a> page. The importance of this is due to some travel insurance companies might refuse to pay up in the event of any political problems or disasters in Turkey. Always read the small print of your insurance and keep an eye on the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turkey will remain very popular with Brits. It is around a four hour flight to most of the popular Turkish resorts e.g. Antalya &#8211; a holiday house rental in Antalya will allow you to enjoy Turkey&#8217;s largest international coastal resort. The coastal town of Marmaris, situated on the Mediterranean. Marmaris has a population of fewer than 30,000 permanent inhabitants; however, this number can exceed 250,000 during the holiday season. Bodrum is in the southwestern Aegean region of the country and was named Halicarnassus of Caria in ancient times. Bodrum is home to one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, Mausoleum of Mausolus. Oludeniz name translates to \u201cBlue Lagoon,\u201d and this coastal resort is still one of the most photographed areas of the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can someone over 80 get Turkey insurance?
