The
weather is hot,
the sky is blue, the sea is warm,
and Turkey's Aegean and Mediterranean coasts are crowded with vacationers
both Turkish and foreign, including Blue
Voyage yacht cruises, which are
most expensive now.
In Istanbul,
the crowds have thinned and prices
are lower as many locals as well as foreign
visitors head for the beach.
The International
Istanbul Jazz Festival brightens
Istanbul's nights during the first
two weeks in July.
This is one of the best months to
tour eastern
Turkey, which is pleasant
in July. The southeast will be hot,
but not as hot as in August or early
September.
