Prices are indicative, shown in AUD and refreshed from provider APIs where available. Always confirm the final price on the provider's site - it is the price that applies. We may earn a commission if you buy through our links, which never changes what you pay. A row labelled "Featured partner" holds a paid position at the top of the table. Partners are listed before providers who pay us nothing, as our terms set out; sorting by price ignores all of that and orders on the number alone. How we make money.

Planning what to do in Türkiye

When is the best time to visit Türkiye?

April-May and September-October

Istanbul is pleasant most of the year. Cappadocia gets very cold from December to February and the balloons are grounded whenever the wind is up, in any season.

Worth knowing before you book in Türkiye

  • Cappadocia hot air balloon flight - Cancelled for wind more often than people expect - book for early in your stay.

How these comparisons are made

Activities listed are bookable in AUD with instant confirmation where the platform offers it. Jamie has personally booked and taken activities through the platforms recommended on this site. Editorial notes on whether something is worth pre-booking are opinions and labelled as such - a queue-skip that saves three hours in July can be pointless in February.

Türkiye things to do FAQs

Do Australians need a visa for Turkey?

No, not since 17 April 2026. A presidential decision removed the visa requirement for holders of ordinary Australian passports travelling for tourism or transit. You can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period with nothing to apply for.
