The best times to go to Turkey are Spring and Fall, when the climate is 'visitor friendly' so to speak. Between October and April, a lot of sites are closed and, depending on the region, it can get really hot in summer. What's more, summer is peak tourist season, so it's crowded, often claustrophobic. May to September is best for the northeast, as it can be too cold the rest of the year.

I loved Turkey and found it a very safe country to visit. A lot of places are set up for tourists, which carry pros and cons. The first day I participated in a tour organized by the local tour agency, I was quite shocked to encounter 3 different shopping stops, as I did not realize I had signed up for shopping tours. The tour agency didn't think to alert me to this as they are accustomed to setting up this type of tours for other tourists. As someone who is used to more independent travel this was not my style and quickly grew to resent the amount of time I was 'stuck' in these shopping stops. On this same trip I signed up for a few Airbnb Experiences and found them to be much closer to my ideal way of experiencing the place—spending time with locals doing what the description of the experience said we would do (no hidden shopping stops). I tried to tell my local agency about Airbnb Experiences and they did not believe that these experiences would not contain shopping stops. The tourism industry offering the types of tours consisting of shopping stops needs a huge rehaul if it were to appeal to millennial and middle-aged travelers who are more used to custom-tailored experiences that don't make people feel stuck and having their precious little time abroad wasted on activities that do not appeal to them.

This trip was centred on a trip to visit our son who is in Ankara. I decided that this was an opportunity to visit Istanbul. Via Evaneos I made contact with Demavend travel (Mehmet) who booked our hotel in Istanbul, arranged transfers (airport to city; city to rail station), two days with a guide (Ms Pelin) and onward travel to Ankara by train. We arrived on Monday evening, had two days of guided tour, one day free and then one day of travel to Ankara by train (Friday). We flew home from Ankara on Wed. Istanbul was the tourist city, Ankara less so though it has a very good museum of early civilisation (amongst others).
