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
- Turkey Beauty Tour
The overall star is a mistake. It would be a good rating. We found some of the food and the accommodations under par and had to ask to have our room changed twice. The hotel in Istanbul was our very favourite! Sirkeci Mansion. The guides were great - lots of information. transportation was good but the itinerary laid out made for a few long days of driving and not a lot of sights - but that has to do with the geography of Turkey as well.
- 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.

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).

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.

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.

Are hot air balloon rides in Cappadocia better in September?
