I just returned from Greece last Saturday, and I must say that it was a wonderful experience. Apart from the tour being excellent, there is no threat to travel east. If you still feel weary about traveling close to hostile areas, I suggest leaving Turkey out of the itinerary and travel to Greece instead.
Bon voyage.

Hello dear!
Of course it is safe and great in this part of the world!
Yesterday Greece had elections and literally, nothing happen! People got poorer with the introduction of Euro, but they are civilized and love people!
Regarding Turkey, I do not know much! I hear, but the press exaggerates a little, I would suppose!

I can assure you that both countries are safe and being safe is a political wish as both countries depend a lot on tourism.
On the other hand, don't forget what happened to England with the blasting of the commuting trains and in Spain...
England and Spain are not supposed to be terrorist countries, are they?
Hope you will enjoy your stay in our countries.

enormously specific that the land mafia is in the back of the finished atmosphere, and this occurs by way of fact the goverments of each usa do not ban structures on burnt soils in the forests, so each consciousless constructor has the audacity to construct any sort of edifice. If the goverment could impose a regulation that everyone premises in the burnt down places be demolished, no you will even think of of making lower back in the woods (because it definitely occurred in Germany)

Greece is one of the safest and most friendly countries in the World.
Where else can you leave an expensive camera and have a taverna owner giving all his taxi driving mates a description of you so that you are traced and it can be returned?

Both Turkey and Greece are no different than other European countries in terms of safety. They are safe, so do not worry :)

Both countries are just as safe as France, England, Thailand & US are (to name some). So, don't worry just be careful wherever you go.
