OCTOBER (Ekim,
eh-KEEM)
The
month begins with very good weather,
but the autumn rains may
begin sometime in mid- or late October.
There
may also be freak snowstorms in Central
Anatolia, but overall this is
not too bad a month to travel in
Turkey.
Even so, and even though the days
are shorter, this is high season for
individual travelers wanting to stay
in boutique
hotels
in Istanbul and Cappadocia,
so expect higher prices, and reserve
your rooms early!
The International
Istanbul Biennale art
exhibitions begin in mid-September and
last through October into November in 2013 in Istanbul.
The Eurasia Marathon (Avrasya
Maratonu) in Istanbul is the big event
mid-month.
Kurban
Bayramı, Turkey's
major religious holiday, shuts
down the country during a week
in October ber in 2012, 2013
and 2014 (dates). More...
Republic
Day (Cumhuriyet Bayramı,
October 29), is
Turkey's most
important patriotic national holiday,
commemorating the proclamation
of the Turkish
Republic by Atatürk in
1923. Lots of parades and speeches. There's
a half-day holiday on October
28 in anticipation.
