The best time to visit Turkey is outside the busy summer peaks, during spring (April to June) and early autumn (September and October). Temperatures are warm but not stifling, and you’ll find that destinations are open but still relatively quiet.

The period from November to February tends to be colder and snowing in some regions, but city attractions remain open and are pleasantly quiet. Summer brings steamy, hot weather and hordes of visitors at the main sights

Tipping

Tipping is common practice in Turkey and Middle East countries, but it is not required. Tip hotel staff at your discretion. In restaurants, a 10% service charge is often included, but you may choose to add to this by tipping waiters directly, especially if this is not included. Taxi drivers do not require tips, but you should round up to the nearest lire on the fare. Tipping a couple of lire to bellmen, baghandlers, supermarket baggers, and windscreen washers at gas stations is generally accepted
