So long as you stick to your cruise and don't wonder off to God-knows-where, it's perfectly safe. Cruises and things like that have strict policies and it's sort of a "neutral" party when you go anywhere else.

Yes...It is if you are street smart but if your not then good luck.

In Istanbul you should go to these places:

Topkapi Palace- Going through the palace can take from 2-6 hours,.. 6 if you are really interested.

Hagia Sophia- Shouldn't take long to go through it. It is a Museum formerly a Mosque formerly a Church.

Blue Mosque- Mosque still in use right across Hagia Sophia

Hope you don't get ripped off there :)

its no less and no more safe than any other city. the thing about istanbul is its beauty. get off the boat and go and enjoy the culture

Very safe

The other cities are Izmir and Kusadasi, aren't they?? Yes, it's safe. Have a nice trip, bon voyage..

why would a cruise you paid for and got insurance on take you to an unsafe country?

pardon me are you coming over here to Turkiye or Algeria?

wtf?avoid yourself from mentioning the words danger or safe.probably you ll be more safe than your ***** neighbourhood.

It is very safe.

Of course, it is...
