What can surprise you about winter in Turkey ?

When people talk about Turkey, they think of summer, sea and hot sun. But winter is also special here, and each region has its own.

On the coast, winter is mild but humid. In Antalya, Izmir and Bodrum, the temperature rarely drops below +5°C, but the high humidity makes the air seem colder. It can rain for several days in a row, and strong winds make the sea rough.

In the central regions (Ankara, Cappadocia) winter already resembles European winter with snow, frosts down to -10°C and cozy evenings by the fireplace. In Cappadocia, snow-covered landscapes create a real fairy tale, especially against the background of balloons.

In the mountains - a real winter. Turkey is not only about beaches, but also about ski resorts! In Uludag, Palandoken and Kartalkay in the season snow lies stable, and the ski infrastructure is developing every year.

On cooler days, hot drinks such as salep (warm milk drink with cinnamon) and ayran with garlic, which is considered healthy in winter, are especially popular. In the evenings, many people warm themselves at the soba stoves or go to hammams - traditional Turkish baths, where it is warm and cozy at any time of the year.

Winter in Turkey is a time when you can see the country from a different perspective. Without the hustle and bustle of summer, but with its own special traditions and atmosphere.
