Turkey and Turkish Riviera in late November?
 

I have planned a trip to Turkey (Istanbul and then down to Kas and Antalya) for thanksgiving week. I was in Turkey 4 years ago and loved it. It was September and was very HOT. What kind of weather can we expect in late November? Is it still warm enough to relax on beaches on the southern coast? Any thoughts on whether to bring winter or spring clothes?

It is cool. Bring some clothes for cold evenings. <BR>If you ned some info about my country ,write me . <BR>Best wishes from Istanbul and my Art Gallery. <BR>NURDOGAN <BR>

tell me Nurdogan...what kind of nights can I expect in Istanbul in March/April??? how about July??? will the nights be chilly or hot??? (how hot are we talking???) what kind of clothing should I bring??? I look forward to your reply :)

Do not wear any clothes, they are unimportant....don't you think????? <BR>Nurdogan <BR>

Good point!!!!..makes for lighter traveling without that cumbersome luggage :) Any sites I shouldn't miss while I'm there????

In Istanbul historic Sultanahmet district,we were elated to find the Sari Konak Oteli.It is a delightful,family-run establishment with 17 rooms.The atmosphere was wonderful and the rooms were tastefully decoratedand extremely clean.The staff went out of their way to be helpful to guests.A wonderful breakfast was served buffet style every morning in their charming garden.The view of Blue Mosque from the roof is terrific! <BR>Doubles were priced at $90 USD but they offer a discount of $10 per night,if the payment is in cash. <BR>ADRESS:Mimar Mehmet Aga Cad.

Michael-- You can't expect the weather in Turkey in November! Unfortunately, this isn't another joke response. The weather in the Eastern Med varies a lot from year to year; we spent three years there and never managed to figure it out. This is definitely a place for the layered look. T-shirts, long-sleeved cotton shirts, sweaters, raincoat. You may be wearing a T-shirt one day and everything you own the next. Long slacks are kinder to local sensibilities, no matter how hot it is. Have a good trip.
