What people love about Turkey Tours in October
- Best of Turkey (36 destinations)
The Best of Turkey tour was exactly that, the best of Turkey. I had a fantastic time on this fast paced, diverse, cultural and active tour. It exceeded all my expectations and Turkey is a beautiful, fascinating country. The itinerary is excellent, hotels great, food delicious, and public transport comfortable. The cultural and historical knowledge of our guide was extraordinary. There was also plenty of time for relaxing at the beach and having drinks in the evening, and generally lots of fun.
- Turkey Beauty Tour
Tour was well organized but pieced together differently than itinerary showed. Didn't see leather goods being made only a video of processing skins into leather. Didn't see jewelry being made. Nice, clean hotels with good food. Very early departures eliminated interest in evening options.
- Turkey Flyer Tour
Can't speak more highly of this tour - I had an incredible time and would book again with Fez Travel in a heartbeat!! I went on the Turkey Flyer tour in early February 2021 and wasn't sure what to expect given the coronavirus pandemic - but I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the tour and how limited the impact of the pandemic felt on what I was able to do and see Fez Travel was great - extremely well organized tour and it all went without a hitch despite numerous internal transfers and a busy itinerary. Canan at Fez Travel was an easy point of contact and always a call/message away. Transfers were seamless and accommodation was excellent. In particular, my guides in each location were all fantastic (Necat in Istanbul, Goksu in Hieropolus/Ephesus area, Done in Cappadocia). They were all very accommodating to any requests I had and extra activities I wanted to do On COVID, a couple of points. (1) Fez Travel were extremely accommodating in helping me get a test. If you need to get a COVID test done before leaving Turkey to get back to your home country (like I did), they will help organize. I was a bit worried about this before going on the trip, but it really could not have been easier. I got a full PCR test done in the morning of the second last day of my trip and had the result later that evening. (2) Everyone is very respectful of social distancing throughout the trip and mask use is required unless eating. Some restaurants etc are closed at the moment but overall I felt like COVID barely impacted the tour - there was always somewhere to eat, and all the activities you'd want to do were available. And importantly, everything felt safe with no corners cut Overall, though it is a bit tougher traveling in a pandemic given testing requirements etc, if you can do it I think it is well worth it. I can't recommend this tour or company more. And the country is relatively quiet at the moment so you can really enjoy your time and see things without the usual crowds
What our customers ask about Turkey Tours in October 2025
What special festivals or events happen in Turkey during October?
Turkish cultural life comes alive in October with the prestigious International Antalya Film Festival drawing cinema enthusiasts from across the globe. The month culminates in nationwide Republic Day festivities on October 29th complete with parades and fireworks. Visitors can experience traditional folklore evenings in Cappadocia where as one guest noted "the evening ceremonies inspired by Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi were unforgettable." The Whirling Dervish ceremonies at Konya's Mevlana Museum take on an added dimension in the crisp autumn air.
What is the weather like in Turkey during October?
October brings comfortable temperatures across Turkey ranging from 15-20°C (59-68°F). The Aegean coastline near Kusadasi maintains warmth suitable for exploring outdoor sites like Ephesus while Cappadocia's cooler climate creates ideal conditions for outdoor activities. A recent visitor shared "The October weather was perfect for exploring the ruins without the intense summer heat." Istanbul's mild autumn weather proves especially favorable for city walks with convenient bases at the Nidya Hotel Galataport or Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel.
Are hot air balloon rides available in Cappadocia during October?
October ranks among the most reliable months for balloon flights over Cappadocia thanks to stable weather patterns and clear morning skies. Flights cost from 170 USD per person including hotel transfers and insurance coverage. A recent visitor reported: "The balloon ride over Cappadocia in October was breathtaking with perfect morning conditions and amazing views of the fairy chimneys." Local cave hotels like Gamirasu Hotel and Dere Cave Suites offer convenient launch point access.
What type of accommodation is available in Turkey during October?
October visitors find a full range of lodging options from Istanbul's Recital Hotel to Cappadocia's Arte Cave Hotel and coastal retreats like Kusadasi's Charisma De Luxe. Many properties maintain their summer amenities through autumn as noted by one guest: "The hotel pools were still open and perfect for afternoon swims after sightseeing." The reduced crowds allow for more attentive service across all accommodation categories.
What are the prices like for tours in Turkey during October?
October tours represent good value with prices generally between 800-1800 USD. The 10-day Exclusive Wonders of Turkey tour costs approximately 1320 USD while 5-day itineraries begin at 994 USD. According to one traveler: "October pricing was reasonable and we got great value with smaller crowds at major sites." Standard tours include stays at established properties like Istanbul's Celal Sultan Hotel and Kusadasi's Ilayda Avantgarde Hotel.
Is October good for visiting Turkish beaches?
While October signals the transition from high season the Turkish coast remains pleasant particularly around Kusadasi where water temperatures hold at 22°C (72°F). Morning beach visits prove most enjoyable as noted by guests at the Ilayda Avantgarde Hotel though evenings require light layers. The Mediterranean shoreline maintains especially favorable conditions throughout the month.
