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.

    Rachit's 8 days trip to Turkey

    Overall 5 Stars, our Turkey trip with Lykk Travel was an incredible journey filled with unforgettable memories, and we have Ms.Priya Pathak to thank for her exceptional trip planning. Every aspect of our journey was very smoothly orchestrated, including airport transfers and city tours in Antalya,
    Cappadocia. From traditional kebabs to mouthwatering baklava, each meal was a culinary delight that added an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip. Additionally, stay near the metro in Istanbul during our trip proved to be incredibly convenient and helpful. Loved the baklavas at Hafiz Mustafa. We highly recommend Lykk Travel and Priya Pathak to anyone looking for a truly superb and memorable travel experience.

    Anita's 6 days trip to Turkey

    The trip was very well organized. The WhatsApp group is an excellent idea! The hosts in Turkey were very responsive especially Erman, Duha and Esra. The pickups were dot on time and the vehicles were top class. The accommodations were in central areas. The tour guides were very professional and f
    riendly. Just a few points/suggestions- 1. The tours could be more of sight seeing than promoting expensive shopping stops

    Raza's 8 days trip to Turkey

    Fly Goldfinch made our 7 nights and 8 days in Turkey very enjoyable. They were always accessible to answer any questions I had, and they did it as quickly as they could. I was able to properly plan my trip thanks to all the information they gave me. I truly want to bring up Sakshi, Amir, and Pooja.
    Sakshi made easy work of organizing our vacation, Amir handled all of my ad hoc needs and support while we were in Turkey, and Pooja assisted us with obtaining our visas. The best thing about Fly Goldfinch is that all of their Turkish associates were excellent, they were all really timely and supportive. I would especially like to thank Mr. Mehmet and Mr. Ercan for going above and beyond to successfully deliver my engagement ring to Istanbul, which I had left behind in a hotel in Antalya. Many thanks to the fly gold finch team and everyone connected to them.

    Rajesh's 9 days trip to Turkey

    Amazing trip to Turkey - Istanbul, Cappadocia, Kusadasi and Pamukkale with Travel Lykke. Rahul helped me with the initial hotel and itinerary planning. The Support team consisting of both Turkish travel partners and coordinators from Lykke were connected throughout on WhatsApp. It was a pleasant exp
    erience interacting with the Support team handling unexpected situations like change of hotels at the last minute (for no fault of theirs), or managing to get a direct flight instead of a connecting flight (that saved us loads of time and energy). The flight and hotel transfers were impeccably managed. The tour guides were knowledgeable and shared lots of history and details about the tours. Overall, an unforgettable trip with incredible memories

    Ankur's 7 days trip to Turkey

    We have had a good experience with Travel Lyke (and corbeico travels team) in regards to our recent Turkey Trip. Although they cut corners at some places, overall it was satisfactory and professionally managed. While Capadoccia aight seeing was thorough, Istanbul sightseeing not enough. Important pl
    aces like Dolmabache palace and Basilica cistern was not included. Pamukkale-Hierapolis trip was memorable and despite our flight to Istanbul was delayed by 45 minutes, pick up was waiting for us.

    Abhishek's 11 days trip to Turkey

    I had a great trip to Turkey, a wonderful country, and very humble hosts. I visited Antalya, Cappadocia and Istanbul. Istanbul was average, just the nightlife is great. City and museum tours are very boring. Make sure to have more days in Cappadocia as the hot air balloons are frequently cancelle
    d due to bad weather.

    Maina's 7 days trip to Turkey

    Overall experience was good Hotels that we stayed in istanbul and antalya were ok and not upto our expectations Tour guides in most tours were good , food provided was satisfactory during the tours Being vegetarians ,we faced lot of issues with food, there were not many options for veg food everywh
    ere we stayed (in and around) so the hotel recommendations need to be better and around vegetarian restaurants Hot air balloon ride well conducted in goreme was our best memory

    Santanu Das

    Kolkata

    Santanu's 7 days trip to Turkey

    Trip booking and negotiations on travel triangle was smooth and done swiftly. Price was decent and I liked the approach of travel agent, who unhesitatingly and tirelessly worked to fit the itinerary in our budget. However during trip faced multiple issues due to which I have given 4 stars. Firstly
    had to follow up multiple times to agent for travel, cab and tour vouchers during tour. Details should have been provided earlier but agent chose to provide them just 1 day prior. Thank god we had international roaming! Secondly, for Istanbul city tour agent arranged a tour entirely different from itinerary. Instead of city tour they gave us a cruise tour which didn't cover all the sightseeings. However after multiple follow ups and calls, they arranged for the tour which was promised. And lastly, inspite of our tickets being included in tour cost, they made us pay INR 4500 for Pamukkale sightseeing tickets. This was unwarranted and took us by surprise. Though they said they will refund the cost, they have not provided any solution as yet in last 7 days. Other than these hiccups I have good memories in the trip and booking on Cheap Travellers with agent Nishant Sinha. Best places are Istanbul and Kusadasi for lots of sightseeing and fun experiences. Cappadocia is dusty and nothing much except expensive hot air balloon. Pamukkale pools are much hyped, walking is difficult let alone swimming in them. I will suggest to stay in Istanbul atleast 3Nights, and rent a self drive car. Indian license is valid here. Stay away from grand bazaar, it's for Europeans not Indians! However shops outside grand bazaar are much better. City stays awake late, so get an Istanbul pass and hop around on trams and metros, avoiding cabs as much as possible

    Overall a good experience, the team guided us for everything from Visa Application to Hotels and car rental booking. The hotels chosen were good and also the cab service. Only the tours left something to be desired, the Istanbul city tour was not of great quality.
