How about a trip to Turkey Northwest
A Brief Summary
Tucked away in the North West corner of Turkey, you’ll find a truly unique place and this region of Turkey’s biggest attraction, the largest and most cosmopolitan city within Turkey, Istanbul. Straddling the Bosphorus this is a city who’s history very firmly sits in the middle east, but who’s future could very well be European. Culturally this is a mixing pot of a city, with architecture, food, ways of living, religion and entertainment all as diverse as you could possibly wish for. It is a very large city, with an ever-growing population and it is not somewhere for those looking for a little peace or quiet, you simply won’t get it. But if you’re after a city break to somewhere that has a wealth of sights to see, from ornate and beautiful churches and mosques, some of the largest souqs and markets in the world, fabulously decorative underground cisterns (no, we’re not joking), or taking a cruise along the Bosphorus and seeing the very best views of the city, Istanbul will rival most other large cities in Europe, or even the world… and it’s a darn sight cheaper than the Barcelona’s, Rome’s and Paris’s of this world too!

About the Weather
Winters in Istanbul are generally cool, cloudy and humid, with frequent heavy rain and occasional, but heavy snowfall. Temperatures range from 3-10°c on average, but can drop as low as -15 or as high 25°c. Spring slowly warms, but is relatively cool for the region, often because of the city’s location on the shores of the cold Black Sea, moderating any regional warmth. Summers are warm (averaging 26°c) and sunny, but with showers once a week on average. Autumns are warm and start sunny, but very quickly increase in cloud during October with rainfall doubling from September to October.
