What people love about Turkey Tours in October
- Aegean Trooper Tour
The variety of sights was excellent and the guide was friendly and well informed. Unfortunately the accomodation on 2nd and 3rd night was poor. We were put in smoking rooms and the hotel was very unhelpful. No wi fi availible on night 4 and again hotel very unhelpful
Fantastic tour!!! Beautiful sights!!
Turkey Beauty Tour
- Aegean Prelude Tour
Tour and Itinerary were comprehensive and good. Driver was very good at his job, but would have preferred if the Guide and Driver didn't have loud, animated conversations during our drives, as that was when we were all resting. There were a few extras along the way, that we were not informed about as an option from the guide, until I asked. Also, there was a Museum with relics, etc. in Efesus, that we were not told about either. I understand one has to pay extra for it, but we should have been told about the option to visit it. When I asked what the building was, we were already quite far from it, and the little free time at the end, would not have allowed for enough time to go all the way back. Would have worked well if the guide had given us a little free time in between as the distances are large, but I guess he didn't want to wait for us, and instead wanted to finish off his tour and go back to the van. Logistically, this was not to the advantage of the clients. Also, accommodations in Kudasadi were below average. The hotel is really run down and we were expecting to be put up at the Ilayda Avantgarde Hotel (or similar) as per the itinerary, which was much nicer. Lastly, the guide was extremely professional, pleasant, knowledgeable and factual, but lacked a personality and the ability to make the information he was giving us, less dry and more interesting. If these few things could be improved on, I think it would be a very good tour.
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.
