Turkey

Travel Guide

Best time to visit Turkey

Turkey is very large country, 3 times the size of Great Britain. Geographically, Turkey is located between Asia and Europe and surrounded by 4 different seas: the North Black Sea, the South Mediterranean, the Aegean sea, and the Istanbul Sea of Marmara. The Climate can change massively depending on where you are. The Mediterranean coast climate is mainly sunnier and warmer, whereas the Agean sea, Marmara sea, and Central Turkey are sunny, but cooler than the south coast.

The best time to visit turkey will depend on what type of holiday you're looking for. If you are planning to go on a Multi Centre holiday within Istanbul, Cappadocia, or along the coast for example, then the best time to go would be early or late summer; April, May, Jun or September, October. If you're after a Gulet Cruise or a beach holiday on the coast, but would like to avoid the heat, then it's best not to go in July or August.

"We arrived home from Fethiye on Monday, and would just like to thank you and Akin for planning an amazing trip. The gulet was fantastic and as usual, the Ece Saray Hotel was lovely. The staff there are some of the best we have come across, and the breakfasts were great. We are looking ahead to 2023 and were wondering if you could arrange a quote for a similar trip."  Sue and Mike Fedeczko - 28 September 2022
