Safe, the word is safe.

Unless the Foreign Office state that it is unsafe to travel you'll lose all the money you paid.

Get him to read this and find a little perspective on the situation in a fairly small region of what is a pretty big country:

Or tell him to stay at home and you take a friend. Or go alone.

You'll just have to leave him at home then

Lara Beach is hundreds of miles from the problem, it would take 20 hours to drive there! It is safe there.

My husband's family live 100miles from the Syrian border. There is no problem there either.

Tell your husband if he doesn't want to go I will have his ticket

I'd have it too, but am too busy enjoying a month in Bali and Java.

While you're in Lara Beach don't confine yourself. Get a dolmus into Antalya, enjoy the seafront, and also the old walled town of Kaleici.

Word of advice, walk quickly down the street to the harbor , avoiding all shops. Enjoy the view, and shop /browse on the return journey.
That street is steep and browsing on the return journey will make the hard slog much nicer.

Does he just listen to the news headlines instead of trying to put what is being reported into perspective in relation to how it may affect him?

There was a silly thread on DT about someone whose brother and nephews live in Texas (where an Ebola case has been diagnosed).
This poster thought his brother should get the kids out.

Texas is bigger than the UK.
No idea what he would do if he lived in Cornwall and there was a case of Ebola diagnosed in john O'Groats. :rotfl:

Has your husband even looked at a map of Turkey and Syria?
