The best time to visit to Turkey
Seasons
Istanbul and European Turkey experience
hot summers and cold winters with snow being a common feature. Spring and
autumn, from April to May and from September to mid November respectively, are
the ideal times to visit Istanbul and the inland regions when temperatures are
pleasant and the skies are clear. Istanbul’s location near the sea means it can
be quite a windy city, especially in the winter.
The Aegean and Mediterranean coasts both
enjoy a typical Mediterranean climate characterised by mild winters and hot
summers, which makes the beach resorts of Marmaris and Kusadasi popular
year-round destinations. The majority of rainfall occurs in winter along the
coast so the summer months remain hot and dry, perfect for topping up that tan.
As you travel further east in Turkey the extremes in climate become more
pronounced with very hot and dry summers reaching highs of 40°C and bitterly
cold winters with heavy snowfall. Spring, autumn and the shoulder months of
summer are the best times to visit the region when temperatures are mild and
pleasant and it tends to stay relatively dry.
Festivals and Events
As Turkey's cultural capital the cosmopolitan city of Istanbul
is host to a number of arts festivals throughout the year while the coastal
resorts are home to fun events including sand sculpture competitions and kite
contests. Here's our selection of the best.
Istanbul Film Festival
Originating in 1982 this
10-day-long event celebrates the best of national and international film with
awards given to documentaries made in Turkey amongst others. It's the largest
film event held in Turkey with over 200 titles appearing in the programme. The
festival takes place in April each year.
National Sovereignty and
Children's Day
Back in 1920 on the 23rd
April Turkey's Grand National Assembly first gathered with Ataturk supposedly
dedicating the Turkish Republic to the children of the country. For this reason
children take seats in parliament with a president elected to address the
nation on TV. Festivals are held throughout the country with schoolchildren
invited from around the world to spend a week with a Turkish family.
Sun Splash Festival
This music festival started
in 2009 and is held in Bodrum showcasing international jazz, soul, funk and
bossa music artists and DJs. Previous artists include Gilles Peterson and the
festival's location in Bodrum means it can easily be combined with a beach
break.
International Sand
Sculpture Festival
Beginning in 2006 this annual
festival sees hundreds of sand sculptures created by sculptors from across the
globe. Occupying a large area at Lara Beach in Antalya the exhibition is one of
the largest sand events in the world. The theme changes each year with previous
themes including wonders of the world and Hollywood films.
The Side Culture and Art
Festival
Showcasing a number of world
famous orchestras, musicians and dancers, this summer festival takes place in
the city of Side with free, open-air concerts performed in the ruined
amphitheatre and temple of Apollo.
Antalya International Folk
Music and Dance Festival Competition
This festival usually kicks
off in August and runs through until the following January with various
performances of folk music and dance from across Turkey and around the world.
Local traditions and folk heritage are promoted with colourful performances
taking place across multiple venues in Antalya.
ANZAC Day
Every year thousands of
visitors flock to Gallipoli to pay their respects to those that died during the
fateful ANZAC campaign. The day begins with a dawn service where veterans and
their families would stand in silence for two minutes with the remainder of the
day spent visiting the battlefields.
Istanbul Music and Jazz
Festivals
Over the summer two separate
festivals are held in Istanbul for the appreciation of classical and jazz
music. Organised by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts, the two
festivals have seen some of the world's most prestigious orchestras, ensembles
and jazz performers play across a variety of venues from open-air stages in
public parks to museums and concert halls.
Ramadan
As a predominantly Muslim
country Turkey observes the Islamic holy month of Ramadan with 30 days of
fasting during daylight hours and a carnival atmosphere in the evenings when
people are able to eat and drink again.
Republic Day
Commemorating the
proclamation of the Republic of Turkey in 1923 on October 23rd, this day is a
public holiday with traditional processions held to celebrate. Flags are
carried through the streets accompanied by marching bands with performances held
in local stadiums and fireworks at night.
