I've been to errr...the resort down the bottom with Cleopatra's beach....errr. Forget now what it's called....however I do clearly remember not needing any inoculations, vaccinations, malaria tabs, etc etc. However this was a few years ago and the recommendations can and do change. It would be wiser to get proper advice from someone with medical qualifications and experience - try NHS Direct, they should be up to date with where epidemics etc are occurring around the world and therefore know what medical advice is appropriate. You could perhaps give your GP surgery a ring too.

BTW the "Health" section of Money Saving Old Style has a note at the top asking people not to give specific advice on remedies, ailments and so on. I'll come back and bung a link in so you can find it easily.

Here you are, in case you want to have a peek even though you've now heard from a recent visitor to Turkey that nothing is required. The only thing I would mention is to have some tablets for a dicky tum with you...the Turkish Trots as you might hear the condition described locally..

definately no innoculations required forTurkey - but do check with your GP that you're up-to-date with everything (tetanus, hepititis etc) as prevention is much better than cure. (And cheaper).
Have a lovely time - Turkeys brilliant!
