Title: Tourist Police 179
Post by: Jacqui Harvey on June 24, 2011, 08:15:46 AM

We have been told that there is a 24 hour phone line on 179 which is "the Tourist Police" apparently they speak English.  This line should be used to report any incidents.  
Anyone heard if it's any use[?]

Yes, it begun in July 2009. Manned 24/7 during the season and limited hours in winter. Seems to have been proved a hit.

Thanks Brian, I have texted the number to my daughter so she can report the shop in Olu that gave her the old Turkish money.
