goodness... I've been to Turkey, though not Side, and have found the people to be some of the kindliest and friendliest on earth. Do try to dress reasonably modestly - bikinis should be fine on the beach but perhaps not in the street. And public snogging is thought impolite. Turks are mostly Muslim, but they're well used to tourists and are not like the more extreme regimes in Arab countries. I can't imagine you having any nose-blowing problems. You should have a wonderful time.
