    Travel restrictions - do not take your drone to Turkey

    Thanks! I didn't fly it in Istanbul and only in cappadocia. I asked the security in Pamukkale and he said it is prohibited and so I didn't as well. I do understand why it could be a threat to security especially with the things happening in the world today. Thanks again for your reply.
