CLIMATE / WHEN TO GO :
The Aegean and Mediterranean coasts have very hot and dry summers, and
wet, mild winters when the coastal towns more or less shut down between
October and April. Winter in Istanbul and Cappadocia can be very cold with
a dusting of snow. The peak tourist season is during high summer, roughly
between July and September. From June the mosquitoes can be a problem.
Spring and autumn are the best times to visit, as the climate is still hot,
but not unbearable. Eastern Turkey should be visited during summer as
roads and mountain passes may close due to winter ice and snow.
