What people love about Turkey Tours in September
- Turkey in Depth
Really great tour. Oz our tour guide was knowledgeable, responsive and caring. He was lots of fun and the trip went extremely well. Hotels were generally ok, not great but still all right. The was a tip kitty of 700 TL at start which I didn't know about ( for hotels etc) so had to get some TL to pay
- Aegean Trooper Tour
A good tour that gives you a very good feeling for Western Turkey. Ephesus, Pumukkale and Pergamon were particular highlights - but you do have to like ruins to get a lot out of the tour. And while we stopped at carpet, leather and pottery factories, they were all interesting and they aren't too annoying if you're able to resist the sales pitch. The pottery place was the exception - they were fabulous and did not pressure us at all - and of course this was the only place that we bought anything. One word of warning - it seems that the last day of the tour is a long drive with almost no sights, to get back to Istanbul. It is therefore recommended that you get a flight from the airport near Pumukkale for a flight back to Istanbul and miss the final day. For the cost of the flight and taxis you can get a whole extra day in Istanbul. Ibrahim our guide was excellent and really helpful in organising taxis etc. Would definitely recommend
- Turkey Beauty Tour
Great trip, excellent driver, guide and accommodation. N
What our customers ask about Turkey Tours in September 2025
What is the weather like in Turkey during September?
Turkey enjoys moderate temperatures during September with daily averages between 15-25°C (59-77°F).

The Mediterranean coast near Antalya and Kas stays warm enough for beach activities and swimming. The pleasant climate marks a clear shift from the intense summer heat making outdoor activities more comfortable.
What makes September an ideal time to visit Turkey's historical sites?
The mild September weather creates perfect conditions to explore Turkey's rich archaeological sites. Visitors can spend more time at places like Ephesus and Troy without dealing with summer heat or large crowds. The Ilayda Avantgarde Hotel in Kusadasi provides a convenient location for day trips to nearby ruins. Major attractions in Istanbul such as Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia become more accessible as tourist numbers decrease.
Are there any special festivals or events in Turkey during September?
The month brings several cultural celebrations across Turkey. The International Istanbul Biennial runs throughout September while the Grape Festival takes place in Cappadocia's Ürgüp region. Wine regions like Sirince village host local harvest celebrations.

How crowded are tourist attractions in Turkey during September?
September represents shoulder season in Turkey with fewer visitors than peak summer months. Major attractions like Istanbul's Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar see a noticeable decrease in crowds. Hotels such as the MD Barbaros in Canakkale report lower occupancy while maintaining their full range of services giving visitors more space to explore at their own pace.
What are the accommodation options like in Turkey during September?
September offers good value across Turkey's accommodation spectrum. Visitors can find rooms at boutique properties like the Ilayda Avantgarde Hotel in Kusadasi or distinctive cave hotels such as Gamirasu Hotel in Cappadocia. Many properties reduce their peak season rates while keeping service standards high allowing travelers to experience quality stays at better prices.
Are hot air balloon rides in Cappadocia better in September?
September presents optimal flying conditions for Cappadocia's famous hot air balloon experiences. The month typically brings clear morning skies and stable winds. Properties like MDC Cave Hotel help arrange early morning flights that provide views across the unique landscape. The comfortable temperatures and good visibility create reliable conditions for this popular activity.
