Most tourists in Turkey head for the coast: Antalya, Alanya, Bodrum, Marmaris. Doctor visits there are usually quite ordinary: stomach upsets after a change of diet, sunburn, injuries at the pool and water slides, ear infections. Treatment in private clinics that work with foreigners costs more than a regular clinic at home, so you need a policy before you leave, not just in case.

## Medical costs and calling the insurer

Check the treatment limit and whether the insurer pays the clinic directly. Private clinics often ask for a guarantee letter or a deposit. Keep the 24-hour assistance number and your policy number on your phone and call before you agree to expensive procedures, or the refund may be reduced.

## Water and active entertainment

Parasailing, banana boats, jet skis, diving, jeep safaris and quad bikes are popular, but a standard policy often does not cover them or requires a separate option. Renting a car or quad bike without a suitable licence is the most common reason for refusal. If you plan activities, look for them in the terms in advance, not after an accident.

## What else to check

Dates (the policy must also cover your return day), the deductible, exclusions for chronic conditions and trip cancellation. This is general information, not a recommendation of a company. Below is a partner insurance card (advertising): compare terms, not only price.
