Turkey is known for its wide geographical area, the extension of its lands, and the diversity of its climate, as its north is somehow cold, and the south has a warm climate mostly, which made it suitable for tourism in all seasons of the year.
One of the warm tourist destinations in the winter is the Fethiye region, as it is located within the state of Mugla on the shore of the Aegean Sea. Marmaris also is a good choice in the winter, and it is located north of Fethiye. The Bodrum region can also be a good choice and it is located on a marine headland overlooking the Aegean Sea, and the region has a warm climate and distinguished by the beauty of its picturesque nature. In winter, Antalya sits on the throne of foreign tourism in Turkey after Istanbul, where it receives more than two million tourists annually.
Yalova city can be also among the cheap tourist destinations in winter. Yalova State is located on the southeastern shore of the Marmara Sea, opposite the beaches of Istanbul, and is famous for its sulfurous water baths, which people visit for tourism in Turkey in winter because of its very hot waters on the coldest days of winter.
Choices in winter are endless in Turkey as we have Sakarya city with its beautiful Sapanca Lake and Mount Kartepe, one of the most popular tourist areas suitable for snow skiing near Istanbul. On the other hand, winter tourism in Istanbul is amazing in all its details, as there are dozens of museums that open their doors to visitors in Istanbul, and it turns into a warm park on winter days.
Furthermore, Bursa is one of the closest states to Istanbul as it is separated by the Sea of Marmara by sea and the state of Gebze and Yalova by land. Bursa is mainly known for its majestic Uludag Mountain and the longest cable car in the world, in addition to resorts dedicated to snow skiing.
We have also the Turkish north in winter and the black sea borders most of the states and cities located in the Turkish north. These states enjoy a pleasant winter that is predominantly cold, and one of the most famous regions of the Turkish north in winter is the state of Trabzon that has a magical atmosphere and warm resorts famous for hot sulfur waters.
