When should I travel to Turkey?
The best times to visit Turkey are spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November), when the climate is ideal. Summer can be very hot, especially in the south, and winter is perfect for mountain skiing enthusiasts.
Ideal seasons
- Spring (April to June) : pleasant temperatures, nature in bloom, ideal for visiting Istanbul and Cappadocia.
- Autumn (September to November) : mild climate, sea still warm, fewer tourists.
Summer and winter: advantages and disadvantages
Summer (July-August) : very hot especially in the south and inland, high tourist season with more crowds and high prices. Perfect for the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts if you can handle the heat.
Winter (December to February) : cold temperatures but fewer tourists. Excellent period for skiing in the mountains of Cappadocia and Eastern Anatolia, and for discovering Istanbul in a different light.
