When Is the Best Month to Holiday in Turkey?

Turkey enjoys long, sunny summers and mild shoulder seasons, so you’re spoiled for choice. If you love warm seas and guaranteed sunshine, June through September is perfect - with long days, lively resort atmospheres, and ideal conditions for watersports, sailing, and tennis.

For slightly cooler temperatures and quieter beaches, May and October are wonderful months. The weather is still reliably warm (often mid 20s °C), the sea is swimmable, and it’s a great time for more active pursuits like cycling, fitness classes, or exploring local culture without the peak summer heat.

In short: there’s no bad time; it just depends on whether you prefer the buzz of high summer or the relaxed vibe of spring and autumn.
