Tourism in Turkey has some general patterns according to the
weather conditions and timing of the different festivals. Be it the
waterfront leisure, exploration into archeological sites,
high-octane pursuits or the Tulip festival and music festivals
performances in the Aspendos Theatre, all occur at different times
of the year. This article will help you to plan your vacation
according to your preferable climatic conditions and the respective
suitable activities in that season.
These are the following seasons suitable for visiting Turkey:
Shoulder Season
This season includes months of April, May, mid- to late
September and October (that are the seasons of Spring and Autumn).
This season is quite favorable if you want to visit Turkey’s village
resorts and historic sites of Mediterranean or Aegean as the
climatic conditions are reasonable with bearable heat and less
rainfall. Moreover, the perfect midday sunlight is reflected and
magnified off the white stone and marble in the archeological sites
which enhances its beauty manifold. The museums are also less
crowded as the summer vacations are just over and schools and
universities are reopened for the students. It is an off-season for
these tourist spots as most people prefer Cappadocia and Istanbul at
this time of the year.
Spring time (April-May) is perfect for all the water sports
lovers. If you are a one, then you could enjoy rafting and canoeing
in Cappadocia due to the spring meltdown. Hiking, biking, hot air
ballooning and camping in Cappadocia and coastal villages are
perfect in both pleasant spring and fall diversions. Due to the
favorable conditions, these places get flooded up with a lot of
tourists with most of the boutique hotels fully booked and with
comparatively high prices. All airlines and trains are full, and one
has to prebook for the tickets. On the other hand, the local buses
are also crowded with the extensive load of the tourists.
Summer
Summers (mid- June to mid-September) in Turkey is pretty
warm, dry and rainless. In this time of the year, seaside resorts
and waterfront leisure are crowded with a lot of tourists. The
waterfront hotels are fully booked, and their prices are extremely
high. It is an excellent time for sun bathing, rafting and canoeing
in the warm sea. Whereas cities like Cappadocia and Istanbul are
much cheaper at this time of the year. There is no rush of people,
and the environment is more comfortable and pleasing.
Winter
Winters (November - March) are the least favorable for
tourists activities. The weather is very chilly and rainy, with few
cold and sunny days. All the coastal towns are shut down but are
open at times of Christmas and New Year’s Holidays. On the other
hand, Cappadocia becomes an exotic and beautiful wonderland after
the dusting of snow on the peaks of mountains. But due to the
hostile climate, horseback riding trek is disturbed. The months of
December and January are quite rainy, which makes all the
archeological sites isolated, and there are also no queues in sight
at museums of Istanbul. All the prices of hotels are remarkably
cheap so if you have a low budget and want lesser crowds, you can
surely visit Turkey in winters and can still manage to get
spell-bounded by all the breathtaking tourists resorts.
It’s up to you to decide which month of the year is most
suitable for you but whatever the time of the year it is, visiting
Turkey will surely be one of the best experience of your lives.
