One of the world’s truly transcontinental countries, Turkey is an astonishingly rich cultural melting pot spanning Europe and Asia. The result is a diverse and characterful landscape, where you can sail glittering Mediterranean shores, ski powdery slopes or soak in thermal spas. Few countries possess such a rich assortment of forests, mountains, deserts and coastlines to satisfy nature-lovers of every stripe – from listless loungers to adrenaline junkies.<\/p>\n
At the centre of Turkey’s charm is its living and breathing history. With such a long and tumultuous succession of invaders, rulers and traditions, Turkey provides a snapshot into multiple dynasties, from Ancient Greece to Ottoman splendour. There are few countries in the world that you can visit with links to such well-told histories as Troy<\/strong>, Cleopatra<\/strong> and Alexander the Great<\/strong>. You can visit dusty hillside ruins that date back millennia or explore treasured artefacts at the Istanbul Archaeological Museums<\/strong>.<\/p>\nWhile history made Turkey, food sustained it. Turkish cuisine is a fun and mouth-watering affair that’s designed for sharing. No trip to the country is complete without sampling many of the regional specialities Turkey has to offer. From sweet and moreish baklava to appetising meze platters, you’re never short of a good meal. Sip on Turkish wine, nibble on sizzling street food and get to know Turkey through its cuisine.<\/p>\nSpend some time in Istanbul, and you’ll soon be captivated by what modern Turkey has to offer. Fashionable boutiques, cutting-edge galleries and award-winning gastronomy all describe contemporary, cosmopolitan Turkey. With its array of music festivals, theatre productions and performances, Turkey’s modern culture is every bit as captivating as its rich historical sites.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Destinations<\/h2><\/div><\/span><\/a><\/span>Istanbul<\/a><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Best time to travel<\/h2><\/div>Turkey is an expansive country with regional climates that are attractive during different seasons.

December \u2013 March<\/strong><\/p>\nWinter can be bitterly cold in Turkey, particularly inland. Still, the weather brings some incredible natural scenes and empty museums, from the beauty of Cappadocia<\/strong> to Pamukkale<\/strong>.<\/p>\nWeather<\/h4>\nWinter is cold with plummeting temperatures from December. Istanbul<\/strong>, for instance, sees highs of just 10 \u00b0C (50 \u00b0F), while parts of Anatolia<\/strong> will see minus temperatures and severe snow. Other areas of the country see a lot of rain, sometimes up to 20 days per month. While January and February see reduced rainfall, temperatures are still low and the weather brisk.<\/p>\nEvents & parties<\/h4>\nTurkey\u2019s major winter festivals include international celebrations, like New Year\u2019s Day<\/strong>, Christmas<\/strong> and Orthodox Christmas<\/strong>. More unique to Turkey, the Mevlana Festival<\/strong> in Konya<\/strong> takes place in December with traditional whirling dances. January sees the beginning of the epic 3-month Camel Wrestling Festival<\/strong> in Sel\u00e7uk<\/strong>, and February hosts the Dat\u00e7a Almond Blossom Festival<\/strong> in celebration of the blooming trees.<\/p>\nPrice evolution<\/h4>\nWinter is the low season across the country, except at ski resorts.
