Does anyone know if you need a Turkish visa as a holiday maker ? Google is very conflicting

I’ve also been doing a bit of research as planning our post covid trip back to Calis soon.

Apparently they changed the rules in March last year so you no longer need a visa if you are staying for less than 3 months (90 days):

“British Citizens travelling to Turkey for tourist or business purposes are able to travel without a visa for visits of up to 90 days in any 180-day period.”

Source: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/turkey/entry-requirements

Details around PCR test are a bit more confusing but here is what I have understood if you are fully vaccinated:

You need to complete the following form within 72hrs before entry (1/2/3 days before arriving in Turkey).

https://register.health.gov.tr/

Currently UK don’t require you to have pre-departure PcR but you may still need negative PCR taken within 72hrs before arrival by Turkish Health (check form above closer to the time of departure).

When you return to the UK (if after 4th October):

You need to fill out the following passenger locator form 48hrs before you arrive:

https://www.gov.uk/provide-journey-contact-details-before-travel-uk

Have a PCR test within 2 days of returning back to the uk (may change to lateral flow by end of October).

Please do your own research and double check with your airline/travel operator etc. Before you travel to make triple sure.

Now Turkey is off the Red List, we are out in mid October, can anyone tell us what is open, are there many restaurants closed. Is the Promenade completed, what are the restrictions/rules. Many people would like to know this before committing to coming out. Anything you could add would really help. Thanks in advance
