Shop around Yvonne. The lady doesn't know what she's talking about as Turkey is one of the cheapest places for good medical care around.
The annual policy Susuz recommended above is cheaper than that for both of you & that's for however many trips you take in a year in Europe(each trip length limited to under 31days).
Put a search in on here for insurance (top right hand corner) & you'll find many bargains on insurance that have been suggested by members in the past.

Many of us old fogies on here have medical problems (some severe) but we still manage to get covered very reasonably.

The Halifax have very good rates for 12 months and the cover is easily as good or better than any other.

Thanks to everyone for their input. Youve all been very helpful  :)

I have now bought a policy from Simple Travel (as recommended on here) for about £23.00 for the pair of us. Okay, it doesnt cover my hypertension problems but Im not planning on anything happening to me - especially as I am looking forward to this holiday more than anything.

Thanks again x

Yvonne

When buying holiday insurance, keep the old addage in mind "You only get what you pay for".

I have to agree with Crossie, watch out for exclusions and excess payments, and also the amount of cover you get especially medical.There are bargains to be had but read your cover very carefully.

you could always open an account with Alliance and Leicester and get free insurance up to 65
