Turkey DECEMBER 07

Country forums / Eastern Europe & the Caucasus / Turkey

Hi!!

Anybody interested in visiting Turkey on December 07.
Aroung 10 or 15 days.....Estambul, Gallipolis, Ephesus, Konya.......

Im a Spanish woman who loves travelling (india, nepal, sri lanka, france, UK.....), but I prefer not to do it alone in Turkey.

Im a bugget traveller who loves walking through the places, visiting temples, mosques....cafes, pubs....shopping....hanging around and enjoy of the surroindings

December is the worst time of the year to visit Turkey. For one thing, it gets dark about 4:30 PM in the afternoon. Second, Turkey gets most of its rainfall from November to March, so you can plan on getting wet most of the time. I don't know what your schedule is like: From your profile, you may not have done much planning. It's hard to enjoy the surroundinging when you are drenched in rain most of your tour.

You'll have problems finding a hotel in Konya as this is Rumi festival time - 6 - 17 December. As this is the 800th anniversary of Rumi's birth every place is likely to be fully booked.

muxulaki - please ignore mcunsal. He's just joined this board, made two postings - and they're both to 'lone female travellers'.
I shall ask the board moderator to remove him. We don't like that sort of thing here.
