What is the best time of year to visit Turkey?

The best time to visit Turkey depends on what you want to do, but April–June and September–October are ideal for most travelers. The weather is usually pleasant, tourist attractions are less crowded, and walking around cities such as Istanbul, İzmir and Cappadocia is much more comfortable. For a beach holiday, June to September is best, especially around Antalya, Bodrum and Fethiye. If you enjoy snow, skiing or a quieter atmosphere, winter can also be beautiful in places like Cappadocia, Bursa and Erzurum.

I visited Türkiye in May and honestly, the weather was really nice. It was neither too hot nor too cold for walking around Istanbul, and it didn't feel as crowded as it probably does during the summer months. The weather in Cappadocia was also great, and watching the balloons early in the morning was an amazing experience. I think spring is definitely one of the best times to explore Türkiye.

I visited Türkiye in May and the weather was honestly perfect for exploring. I had a great time walking around Istanbul and Cappadocia, and it wasn't as crowded as it probably gets in summer.

I also visited Antalya in July, and the weather was really hot, but the sea was amazing. Swimming in the sea during the hot days and walking along the coast in the evenings were some of my favorite moments of the trip.
