Turkey is packed to the brim with picturesque scenery, ancient monuments, pulsing culture and vast history. Straddling between Asia and Europe, every inch of Turkey is endowed with a rich history and glorious landscapes. Whether you want to laze on the Istanbul beaches or showcase your adventurous side in Cappadocia, Turkey has attractions of all sorts. Istanbul will require 3 days, Cappadocia and Pamukkale 2 days each and if you're into Greek-Roman cities, we'd suggest a day trip to Ephesus as well.

Turkey has minibuses called dolmuşes that enable trips to the villages and can seat up to 20 passengers. For travel between cities on Turkey holidays, a lot of private bus service providers are available who facilitate these services. Also, taxis are common in most cities in Turkey and driving around the city is yet another way to explore the country in an authentic well-paced way.

Best time to visit Turkey

Turkey is a year-round destination, however, the best time to visit Turkey depends on the places you want to include on Turkey tour packages. While Spring and Autumn are considered as the best time to traverse the archaeological sites, June to September is mostly preferred by travellers to get the best of the beach and island hopping. If you're looking at walking tours and exploring the ancient sites of Turkey by foot, we'd definitely recommend the months between April to October when the temperature is pleasant. From late October, you can expect the weather to cool down a bit and the interior areas of Cappadocia get predominantly cold. But if you're someone who loves the winter period, you can very well travel from November to March since the top attractions will be less crowded.

How to Reach Turkey

Turkey is about 4600 Km away from India and the most convenient way to reach this land is by air - not by carpets perhaps! With more tourist destinations and varied landscapes. Depending on the time of year you plan to visit, book your flights well in advance to avail healthy discounts. However, getting to understand the internal transport helps you to choose the pocket friendly transport option. Read through to understand which suits you the best.

By Air

A flight from India will directly take you to the capital city of Turkey - Istanbul. You will arrive at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport. Major cities like Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi cater direct and connecting flights to Istanbul. The average flight time is around 6 hours and the quickest among the options is to travel from Mumbai. However, the stopover flights take more than 10 hours to reach Turkey. Popular air services like Air India, Oman Air, Turkish Airlines and Ukraine International Airlines cater flights from India to Turkey. Taking flights could be the most reasonable and convenient option to reach Turkey as they are quick and less tiring.

By Train

Turkey is well connected with Asian and European countries. However, travelling by train could turn out to be a little tiring. The journey almost takes upto 10 days. You will have to pass through countries like Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The route is -Istanbul-Ankara -Tehran followed by Tehran-Zahedan, Zahedan-Quetta, Quetta-Lahore, Lahore-Amritsar and Amritsar to Delhi. It requires you to switch to ferries also in between. This journey will consume more days and money. Keep in track of the timing and get ready with your visas well in advance. If you are someone who enjoys long train rides, this option is for you.

By Road

It takes about 12 days or more for you to reach Turkey from India by road. You will have to cross countries like Pakistan, Quetta, Zahedan and Teheran. You will have to spend more and keep your border permits ready. This journey could turn out to be very expensive and time consuming. Hence, it is not preferred generally.

Flights are the quickest way to travel even within the borders of Turkey. If you are travelling to a nearby place, prefer taking a train or bus. However, if you intend to travel on your own time, hire a cab. If you are willing to commute to local places, renting a bicycle could be the cheapest option.
