It's no secret that Turkey is a popular tourist destination among Ukrainians. However, recently, resorts on the Black and Mediterranean Sea have started to lose tourists en masse.

This is reported by Alanya Medya. According to Turkish media, even locals are opting for Egypt instead of spending their vacations at domestic recreation centers.
