What people love about Turkey Tours in October
- Turkey Beauty Tour
Our tour guide Metin is knowledgeable and take good care of the whole group well. The help we received from him was beyond what we expected. Transport was comfortable however the flight from Istanbul to Izmir seemed unnecessary. Comsider we were waiting for the bus other the other side and it was at peak traffic so we ended up waiting. It makes more sense if we were taking flights for the long distance drive instead. Despite that, the driver was polite and kept everything nice and clean for us. Accommodation was average in general as they are located in the middle of nowhere. One of the accommodation had no hot water for two days although there was a nice view. Some accommodations had very limited food choice and not fresh at all.
- Turkey Super Saver (Small group)
The reason that I gave 5 stars is because the tour guides were very nice. Other than that I would give many be 2 stars. The hotels are horrible. When I was in Capadocia, the hotel was terrible. The location was bad. It was in the town call Ürgüp. It is not a good tourist location. I don't know why they pick that place. it is far from town and no walking distance for tourist. If you go to Capadocia, it is better to stay at the town called Göreme, great town with everything in working distance. Not only that the hotel smell like dead rats. I would not recommend that. In Istanbul, it is good to stay in old city or Taksim. I hope they can change the hotel location in the future.
- Turkey Explorer - 11 Days
The last day/night was a nightmare due to hotel location. Flight from cappadocia arrived at midnight and our flight the next day to LA was at 6 am. Had to stay all the way in old Istanbul and was picked up at 2 am. Last night should be booked closer to airport.

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.

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.
