Best Time To Visit Turkey

Plan your trip during best season to experience the best of this stunning destination

The best time to visit Turkey is during the spring and fall season which is in the months of April, May, and September to November. The temperature during these months ranges from 16 °C to 28 °C. During this time, tourists can enjoy sightseeing and hot air balloon rides. Turkey sees the highest number of travelers during spring and fall season, as the weather during these months is cool and dry and outdoor activities can be enjoyed easily. It is an ideal time to visit Turkey. The country experiences a subtropical climate. It is speckled with wonderful natural beauty and offers a host of historical monuments to marvel at. If one is looking for a particular season to travel to Turkey, then it is safe to say that the country is beautiful all year round. However, one can plan their travel according to their specific preferences based on month-wise segregation mentioned below.

Now, let’s have a look at the below month-wise segregation of the weather conditions in Turkey.

April - June (10°C - 27°C) :

The period of April to June brings the season of spring with the temperature hovering around not going more than 27 degrees celsius. The weather during this time is pleasant and excellent for sightseeing. April is the peak month to visit Turkey, as parks and gardens are bursting with colorful flowers. Although, mild showers can also be experienced during this period.

Festivals: Get to attend the International Istanbul Film Festival and Hidrellez Festival celebrating the arrival of the spring season.

July - September (17°C - 32°C) :

And, here comes the summer season with the month of June, when the temperature may rise considerably. The weather is hot and perfect for swimming in the Mediterranean and relaxing on the Turquoise Coast. Though the high temperatures make it a little uncomfortable to explore the heritage sites of Turkey, it is also the peak season to enjoy cruise ships.

Festivals: One can make the most of their holiday while attending Aspendos and Opera Ballet Festival held in June and July.

October - November (6°C - 23°C) :

Though the winter season starts crawling in with the month of October, the weather is still pleasant to enjoy an excursion in Turkey. The temperature does not rise more than an average of 25 degrees. As the days are still warm, it is still a good time to explore the place. Moreover, crowds are fewer and the prices of hotels are lower at this time.

Festivals: The International Wine Festival and Republic Day celebrated across the country let you see the vibrant side of the place.

December - March (1°C - 15°C ):

With the temperature going as low as one-degree Celsius, the period of December to March brings the winter season. As the crowd becomes fewer in number and hotel rates drop significantly, it can be the best time for local experiences.

Festivals: Moreover, the annual ten-day event of Mevlana and Whirling Dervish Festival held in open-air locations make a visit during this time even more memorable.

Best time to visit Turkey for Festivals:

Although the country has many festivals and enjoys them all year round, if one wants to enjoy Turkey with its festive feeling, then the months of June, August and December would prove to be the best time to visit Turkey. The best of all the festivals in Turkey are camel wrestling, which takes place every January, Seker & Kurban festivals and during the end of Ramadan.

Best time to visit Turkey for Sightseeing: Visit Turkey when it is neither too hot or cold. For this reason, spring season in the month of May and April is considered to be the best time to visit the country. The country sees a rise in the number of crowds. The place is dotted with blooming and colorful flowers. Most of the adventure and outdoor activities can be enjoyed easily during this weather.   

Best time to visit Turkey for a Bosphorus Cruise:  Bosphorus Cruise is one of the highlights while planning a visit to Turkey. The best time to go for Bosphorus Cruise is in the month of May, or in the mid of September. Watch dolphins while cruising on the river and get a chance to meet the friendliest marine animal.

Best time to visit Turkey for Shopping: If you are visiting Turkey for shopping, the best time to visit Turkey is in December and January which is around Christmas and New Year. Istanbul is home to many markets, boutiques, stalls, and spice bazaar. The famous things to buy from these markets are carpets, rugs, jewelry, spices, hand-painted ceramics.  

Best time to visit Turkey for Beaches: If you are looking to explore the gorgeous beaches in Turkey the best time to visit is in Summers in the months of July, August, and September. One can enjoy a plethora of water activities during the summer season.

Best time to visit Turkey for Snow: If you want to see snowfall in Turkey, visit the country in winter, especially from December to March. For skiing, plan a visit to Kartalkaya in Koroglu Mountains.

    Asmita's 9 days trip to Turkey

    We booked our Turkey trip through Travel Triangle and through Travel Lykke. The trip went as planned. However, we felt that we could have been offered more than the standardized tour packages available in Turkey as we had taken a customized tour package. E.g. The Green Tour in Cappadocia covering
    entire day has hardly any sights, activities covered. The Selime Monastry is a regular cave like structure which is 1,5 hrs one way and totally not worth the time. Due to which we couldn't cover some of the nearest attractions like Uchisar Castle or activities like ATV ride which are way more engaging than the monastry. Even in Istanbul, the day tour covered only Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace and post lunch we were taken to Grand Bazaar where we were on our own. Galata Tower, Basillica Cistern like attractions were not included in the tour and had to be done on our own. The Antalya tour also had 5 hrs sitting in the bus out of 10 hrs of day travel and covered only the waterfalls and Mediterrnean sea boat ride. The old town was only a locality with no attractions worth the time. We wanted to cover paragliding in Fethiye, however, the transport offered by Travel agent was very expensive. We had to fund our own transfer and paragliding in Alanya instead of doing it in Fethiye.

    Dhatri Hv

    Dhatri's 7 days trip to Turkey

    Me and my husband with two others recently had the pleasure of booking a 10-day Turkey trip with Travel Triangle, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was organized seamlessly, and the team at Travel Triangle made sure our journey through Istanbul, Anta
    lya, and Cappadocia was filled with memorable moments. Istanbul: Our trip began in the vibrant city of Istanbul, and everything was very well arranged. From exploring the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque to enjoying a boat ride to Princess Island, every detail was taken care of. The local guide provided insightful knowledge of the city’s history, and the accommodations were comfortable and centrally located, allowing us to explore on our own as well. Only in Princess Island, the guide could have been more helpful in explaining the island insights rather than just dropping us to the place and explore on our own. Antalya: In Antalya, Travel Triangle arranged an excellent blend of historical tours and leisure time on the beautiful beaches. The guided visit to the ancient city of Perge, Pammukale, Old town walk and a relaxing trek to 2 waterfalls were definite highlights. The choice of hotel with its sea view was perfect! Cappadocia: Cappadocia was the highlight of the trip! We approached Travel Triangle in the last minute to book Hot air balloon and they didn't disappoint us. They planned a magical experience with the hot air balloon ride, which was a dream come true. The fairy chimneys, underground cities and even ATV ride at sunset were fascinating. I’m grateful for the attention to detail, from the transport to the personalized local tours. Every activity was well-timed, allowing us to soak in the surreal landscapes. Overall: The only drawback was that we couldn't spend more time in each place as it was a group trip or we weren't allowed to alter . We were taken to multiple jewelry shop / workshop which personally felt was not required. We would have enjoyed more if they had taken us to lot more historical place. However, the tour was perfectly balanced between sightseeing, adventure, and relaxation. I highly recommend Travel Triangle for anyone looking to explore Turkey, as their services made this trip truly special.

    Sushiman's 6 days trip to Turkey

    Things were well arranged. Their team created a whatsapp group and we're constantly giving updates. Thanks for all the help, Ruksana, Karishma and team. Airport transfer, Green tour, Hot air balloon rides were great. The ATV ride was a bit risky though. We got bad helmets. No elbow/knee guards.

    Kadavrakesh's 6 days trip to Turkey

    Had a great experience in Cappadocia, beautiful hotel and excellent trip with a great tour guide. Istanbul hotel was not been great as describe in the hotel website. Specially chosen the prefer hotel but very upsetting of not having the a comfort stay. We have allocated in a coner room and then se
    rvice felt bit of poor as per there standards. Staff not much of helpful thou. Istanbul Tour & guide was the best to make us most of our journey but the prince island wasn't up to the standard as describe. The boat tour to island was a shamble and food offer felt us like eating in canteen food. Rest service was been great

    Pankaj's 10 days trip to Turkey

    It was our first time dealing with Travel Triangle and their network of Indian travel agents. We booked a family trip to Turkey which was fabulously organised and we came back with amazing memories. We would certainly use Travel Triangle again for our future holiday needs. Thank you for taking the
    stress out of planning and arranging such a comprehensive 5 cities with 3 domestic internal flights, 13 days holiday! Too many to list but personal favourite was the ATV sunset tour in Cappadocia which was amazing with breathtaking sunset view in Rose valley.
