All about Türkiye

When to Visit

Turkey’s diverse climate makes it a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on your interests. For sightseeing in Istanbul, Cappadocia, and other cultural hubs, spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) offer mild temperatures and fewer crowds. Beachgoers will enjoy the summer months (June to August) along the Turquoise Coast, though temperatures can soar. Winter (December to February) is ideal for skiing in regions like Uludağ or enjoying a quieter experience at Turkey’s historical sites. Always check local weather conditions before planning your trip!

Getting Around

Traveling in Turkey is convenient and affordable thanks to its excellent transportation network. Domestic flights connect major cities, while intercity buses provide a comfortable and scenic way to explore. In urban areas, public transit like trams, metros, and buses are reliable and easy to navigate. For more remote locations, consider renting a car or joining guided tours. Turkey’s trains, such as the scenic Eastern Express, are also gaining popularity among travelers seeking unique experiences.

Traveler Tips

To enhance your Turkish holiday, embrace a mix of cultural and natural attractions. Carry cash for small purchases, especially in rural areas, but use credit cards in cities. Bargain at markets like Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, but be respectful in negotiations. Dress modestly when visiting mosques and bring sunscreen for outdoor excursions. Turkish cuisine is a must-try—don’t miss dishes like kebabs, mezes, and baklava. Lastly, a Turkish bath (hammam) offers relaxation after a day of exploring. Respect local customs, and you’ll enjoy an enriching and unforgettable trip!
