What is the weather like in Turkey?
Turkey is a country of diverse landscapes, meaning its climate varies depending on where and when you visit. From sun-soaked beaches to snowy mountain peaks, Turkey offers different weather conditions to suit every type of traveler. Here’s what you can expect throughout the seasons:
Fall
Fall in Turkey brings mild temperatures and fewer crowds, making it an excellent time to explore. Cities like Istanbul and Cappadocia enjoy temperatures ranging from 15–25°C, creating ideal conditions for sightseeing and outdoor adventures. The Aegean and Mediterranean coasts remain warm enough for a late-season beach trip. If you’re looking for cheap flights to Turkey, autumn is a great time to find deals before the peak winter holidays.
Winter
While coastal areas like Antalya remain relatively mild, with temperatures around 10–15°C, central and eastern Turkey experience a true winter chill. Cappadocia transforms into a fairytale landscape with snowfall, while ski resorts like Uludağ and Palandöken offer excellent skiing opportunities. If you’re planning a winter getaway, consider booking tickets to Turkey early to secure the best options.
Spring
Spring is one of the best times to visit Turkey, as the weather is warm but not too hot. Temperatures range from 15–25°C, making it perfect for city breaks, hiking in Cappadocia, or enjoying the stunning tulip season in Istanbul. Spring is also a great time to find cheap tickets to Turkey, as airfare is often lower before the busy summer season.
Summer
For sun-seekers, summer in Turkey is paradise. The Mediterranean and Aegean coasts enjoy temperatures of 30–40°C, making it the peak season for beach holidays. Resorts in Bodrum, Antalya, and Fethiye are buzzing with life, and the crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming and sailing. If you want to escape the heat, head to the Black Sea region, where lush green landscapes and cooler temperatures offer a refreshing retreat. Be sure to book your flight to Turkey in advance, as summer is a high-demand season.
No matter when you choose to fly to Turkey, SAS offers convenient flights year-round, making it easy to discover this incredible destination. Whether you’re after a winter adventure, a cultural escape, or a summer by the sea, there’s always a perfect time to visit Turkey.

Confirm that your ticket includes the baggage allowance that suits your travel plans and check the current weight and size limits.

FAQ
Why Turkey?
Fly with SAS to Alanya on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey – the Turkish riviera. From here you’ll have plenty of destinations within easy reach. Miles of beautiful beaches and historical cities, whether you are looking for vibrant night life or a quiet place for a family holiday.
Enjoy the beautiful landscape of Cappadocia
Traveling to the moon is challenging, to say the least. Turkish Cappadocia, on the other hand, is far more convenient, and one of Turkey’s biggest attractions. We opted for the latter and in the process discovered a fairytale country that is out of this world.
Cappadocia: North from Alanya and the Mediterranean. Close to the geographic center of Turkey, the natural landscape here is so astonishing that you might be convinced that you are on another planet. Mushroom-shaped rocks rise to form walls that are dotted with caves. Farther in the distance stand honey-gold conical rocks that look like nothing more than rockets that have been polished smooth by the weather.
The landscape is right out of The Flintstones and is the result of volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. Tons of ash combined with clay and hardened to form a porous rock called tuff. Over time rain and wind did their job, carving remarkable shapes into the soft stone. Because they were both safe and comfortable, the local people would escape to the caves during times of war and danger.

Some of the rock formations still serve as homes, while others house secret churches and chapels adorned with Byzantine frescos. You can find whole communities below the surface in Derinkuyu and Kaymakli, which at times have housed thousands of people, along with everything from a school and apartments to a drunk tank and a wine press.
Today, Cappadocia is one of Turkey’s biggest attractions. Many tourists make their way to the small towns of Göreme and Ürgüp to marvel at the thousand-year-old rock churches at the Göreme Open-Air Museum and watch the sunset over the spectacular rock formations of Pasabag.
The landscape covers a wide area, with pleasant surprises lurking around every corner. Life in quiet villages such as Ayvali is unassuming and rustic. Apricots are left to dry on the rooftops, and tandir ekmek (tandoor bread) is baked in underground ovens. Hidden valleys, such as Soganli, are ripe for hiking, while the amazing Uzenge Vadi is reminiscent of a shining oasis, with figs and the sweet sound of nightingales.
And don’t forget the food. The local delicacy, testi kebab, bubbles away in a clay jug that is broken open upon serving, releasing the rich aroma of lamb, onion, garlic, tomatoes, chili, and much, much more. The refreshing local wines, on the other hand, give you a taste of the volcanic earth itself.
Things to do
Guided hikes are offered by companies including Walking Mehmet, and Kirkit Voyage. With Akhal-Teke, you can experience Cappadocia on horseback. Hot air balloon rides with Butterfly Balloons, cost €165 upwards. The highly reputable Ekstra Tourism & Travel, organizes tours and accommodation.
Where to stay
Try the beautiful Aydinli Cave House, in Göreme. In the quiet village of Ayvali is the romantic Gamirasu Hotel, which is housed in a thousand-year-old Byzantine monastery. Argos in Cappadocia, in the village of Üchisar, offers exquisite, well-designed accommodation that is something special. The Esbelli Evi Cave Hotel, offers beautiful and comfortable rooms in a cave in Ürgüp.
Where to eat
The renowned Seten, at the Kelebek Cave Hotel in Göreme, not only offers traditional local dishes and Anatolian gourmet dining but also organizes cooking classes. They have their own excellent wine cellar. Ziggys, in Ürgüp has beautiful, relaxed surroundings that are reason enough to come here. The food and wine give you yet another. Try the pastirma-, the local air-dried beef, or sample several different dishes at once with a meze platter.
