What the title says. I have read somewhere before that people in Ankara are very conservative and that the city isn't the best to stay at but I'd really like somewhere near Cappadocia and Yedigöller. Thanks.

I haven't been everywhere in Turkey, but have been around quite a bit, and I haven't felt unsafe anywhere. I honestly doubt there is anywhere in the country that is truly unsafe (think bad neighborhoods in Latin America).

Conservative and unsafe aren't the same thing. If anything there is a direct coorelation between a place being more conservative and it being safer. Saudi Arabia for example is extremely safe. Maybe you wouldn't prefer living somewhere that is conservative (like to drink/party, really want to wear shorts, etc), but that is a different topic.

All of the towns/cities along the southern coast that I have been to have been great. I also really like the southeastern Kurdish region, but it is definitely more conservative.
