Travel To Turkey

When to travel in Turkey? Spring is best, autumn next, then summer, last winter.

In 2010, Istanbul is a European Capital of Culture, with many special events. More...

SPRING
Spring (April, May, through mid-June) is prime because the weather is moderate throughout the country, the days are long, and the tourist rush hasn't begun. April can be rainy, though.

AUTUMN
Autumn (mid-September through October) is second best with mostly mild weather, but the days are shorter, and rain may begin again in October.

SUMMER
Summer (mid-June, July, August, through mid-September) is quite hot in five of Turkey's seven distinct climatic regions, though usually rainless, and cool inland in the evenings.

WINTER
Winter (November, December, January, February, March) is chill and rainy everywhere except the southeast, but with lower prices and fewer tourists.
