Turkey Walking & Trekking Holidays
When is the best time to travel to Turkey?
Our climate charts will give you an idea of the weather conditions in Turkey.
Our Mount Ararat & the Peaks of Van trek is in eastern Turkey. The best time to visit this area is between late June and September, during the rest of the year, roads can be impassable due to snowfall, and temperatures will be bitterly cold. If you'd like to extend your time in Turkey before of after your trek, then May to September is also the best time to visit the coast and Istanbul, though this is the peak season for tourists, so accommodation can be busy.
If you can't make the dates of our group departures, then take a private departure on dates to suit you, or we can create a Tailor Made holiday to Turkey, especially for you and your family or friends.
