Travel Tips for Hiking Tours in Turkey
- Book your Turkey hiking tour between September and October or April and May. These are the best months as you will get nice weather and fewer crowds.
- Learn a few Turkish words or phrases for basic communication with locals. Most people in Turkey do not speak English, especially in rural places and less-known areas of the country.
- Wear sunscreen generously and drink plenty of water during hiking tours. Turkey gets intense sun exposure all year round, so it is important to protect your skin and stay hydrated.
- Dress conservatively, covering your shoulders and knees, especially if you are visiting outside the city areas or places of worship.
- Always bring tons of water with you. Turkey’s weather can be pretty dry and you will dehydrate fast without realizing it.
