Below are some of the responses we received on Instagram from people who have previously visited Turkey.
“Go in late December to Uludag. We stayed at Bof. About 4 hours by car from Istanbul. It’s a ski resort and all inclusive”
“July is magic on the coast but there are many beautiful places to visit in winter as well.
“Loved Turkey in December. Relocated to Turkey from JHB in early 2022.”
“Visited in Jan, loved the snow but would like to go back in June Inshallah”
“If you want snow thenDe/Jan otherwise July/August”
“In Dec it often snows in Turkey. Best time is April/May/June”
“I went at the end of March, got the last bit of snow, way too cold. Beautiful but rather in summer.”
“Summer! Definitely not winter, that cold is something else, you won’t function.”
“Summer months apparently get very hot so for South Africans that may be a little unbearable.”
“Been in Dec and March. Dec much colder than March. But still enjoyable.
“We just got back from Turkey. I think end of May / beginning of June is a nice time. Weather was good, not too hot.”
“We went in Jan/Feb for a winter wonderland holiday. Pack the right thermal wear! Amazing experience.”
“May or September. Been there at that time. The weather is perfect”
“December was too cold especially if travelling with kids. Nothing much you can do outdoors. June was lovely.”
“Mid May – perfect weather. Not too cold not too hot.”
“December is freezing but still a beautiful experience. September is best for us.”
“I’ve been to Turkey 4 times! December was good but summer is hands down the best”
“Definitely not December”
The graph above was based on interaction received on Instagram from people who have travelled to Turkey before and were asked the question “When is the best time to visit Turkey?”
Recently there were quite a few South Africans who have relocated to Turkey. If you are wondering or have thought about what it is like to move to another country you can have a look at the “Expat Experiences” section on our website.
It is an interview questionnaire that will tell you all you need to know about living in another country. We have featured South Africans that have relocated to Turkey, Italy, Dubai, USA and many more.
