In the last month of winter, tourists can enjoy the air temperature: + 14C during the day, + 5C at night. Long walks can only be overshadowed by frequent rains. However, the absence of sweltering heat allows you to enjoy the excursion program. If you wish, you can spend your vacation in a different way.
In the mountainous regions of Turkey, the snow is dense, thanks to which skiers can have a pleasant time here. However, ski resorts are young, so you should prepare for the fact that they are just developing. Tourists are attracted by Izmir, Uludag, Palandoken. Local trainers are ready to teach beginners. Professional skiers prefer Erciyes, located on a volcanic mountain.
In Turkey, in February, sea water only warms up to 11 degrees, so a beach holiday is impossible. However, tourists can enjoy a dip in the indoor heated pools located in most hotels.
