Best time to take a holiday to Turkey
-
If you are looking to save money on your accommodation, plan your trip to Turkey during March or November to take advantage of lower prices and smaller crowds. Although the weather is slightly cooler during these months, with average temperatures between 5 and 10°C, the drastic difference in prices and tourist crowds makes it a fair trade. Islamic holidays such as Ramadan and Kurban Bayrami provide lots of opportunities to participate in local cultural events and festivals. These holidays are an excellent way to make your visit to Turkey unique; just be sure that you plan accordingly, as travel becomes more congested around these festivals.
