NOVEMBER (Kasim,
kah-SUHM)
The
weather can be pleasant, with
cool to warm days and chilly nights,
but you play cat and mouse with the rain.
Kurban
Bayrami, Turkey's
major religious holiday, shuts
down the country during a week
in December in 2009 and 2010 (dates). More...
Swimming may still be possible and pleasant
along the Mediterranean coast—or
not (especially later in the month).
If your luck holds, you can have
a marvellous late-year beach vacation.
The
most important day of the month is November
10, the day Atatürk died in
1938 (at 9:05 am) in Istanbul's Dolmabahçe
Palace. The entire nation still
observes a moment of silence on that
day, at that time.
Though
not a public holiday, on the day
of Atatürk's death, the
banners of newspapers are in black
rather
than the customary red, and the national
hero's accomplishments and philosophy
are reviewed in schools and on radio
and television.
