The Australian Government has increased the level of concern in the travel advice for two cities in Turkey, Istanbul and Ankara, to 'reconsider your need to travel'.
The travel advice has been reissued following the deaths of more than 80 people in four separate suicide bombings in Istanbul and Ankara in 2016. Terrorist groups continue to threaten further attacks, including targeting tourists and westerners.
