Question 2

What is the best time of year to visit Turkey?

Accepted Answer

Istanbul is a city operating all year round so any time is good to visit. If you like sunshine, come between April to October as winter in Istanbul can be cold and rainy with the occasional snowfall. The tourism season on the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts runs from May to October but tourist sites like Ephesus are open all year round. Gulet cruises are more enjoyable when refined to the months of June to September. Cappadocia is also a region operating all year round, although, in the wintertime, snowfall is usual. The snow does provide a pretty landscape view and the hot air balloon rides will still operate as long as weather conditions are advisable. If you travel between the months of December to March, bring an umbrella as this is when the country receives the most amount of rain.

Question 3

Will my credit card be widely accepted?

Accepted Answer

Most places in Turkey accept credit cards. As a security measure, some banks will block transactions made in a different country so please inform your credit card provider of your travel plans. Please be aware that Diners and American Express cards are accepted in far fewer places than Visa or Mastercard. If an establishment does accept Amex, they may impose a hefty surcharge.

Is internet widely available?

Accepted Answer

Most hotels throughout Turkey have internet installed and they open it up for use by customers. The password can be obtained from reception. You should always check whether there is a charge before using it. Otherwise, in most of the busy cities and towns, there are internet cafes.
