Cheap flights to Turkey

Peak season: Spring and autumn are the best times to search for cheap flights to Turkey and visit. Istanbul is best seen between April and June and in September and October. The Marmara (Bodrum), Aegean (Ephesus) and Mediterranean coasts have a typical Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. Central Anatolia (Cappadocia) has hot, dry summers and cold winters, while Eastern Anatolia (Nemrut) has mild summers and long snowy cold winters. Off season: The winters in Turkey are harsh and the country doesn’t really have a winter tourist season. While cheap flights to Turkey and cheaper accommodation are likely during this time, the weather will play a significant part in your travel plans. Search and compare: cheap flights to Turkey

Flights to Turkey from Hong Kong (HKG) range in flying time depending on which airline you fly with, your final destination and any stopovers you have.

You can also choose Antalya (AYT) as the destination for your international flight, a popular destination in summer.

Turkey is well connected by multiple forms of transport. Flying can be a great time saver, and there are many flights around Turkey with Turkish Airlines and low-cost carriers like Pegasus Airlines. Bus, however, is the most popular way to travel long-distances. For example, you could travel by bus from Istanbul to the capital Ankara in about 6-7h, while you could fly the distance in about 55min. There are two types of buses — coach and Dolmus (minibus). Coaches cover journeys longer than two hours and are luxurious and cheap. Dolmus minibuses are an easy form of short-distance transport (less than two hours). The destination is displayed in the windscreen and you pay the driver. Hire cars are reasonably, priced but petrol is expensive, so if you’re travelling long distances, it might be better to go by coach and hire a car locally.

Istanbul, previously known as Constantinople, is Turkey’s ancient, bustling, colourful and most populated city and has so much to see. Visit the Hagia Sophia, a cathedral-turned-mosque-turned-museum and now a mosque again. It was built in 537 AD. In the area, you’ll also find the impressive Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace Museum, which housed sultans and their harems for 400 years. If you enjoy bargaining, head to the 500-year-old Grand Bazaar – one of the biggest covered bazaars in the world. Watch the Sufi whirling dervishes performing their spiritual dance at a dervish hall. Beyond Istanbul, visit Ephesus, one of the most intact ancient Roman cities, or take a hot air balloon ride over the world-famous Cappadocia rock valleys. Pamukkale is an amazing natural wonder consisting of white limestone terraces cascading down the hillside and filled with warm mineral water. On the Turkish Riviera, you can visit Antalya, Turkey’s largest sea resort and a city full of heritage and attractions. Of course, you also have to take the opportunity to try all the Turkish culinary delicacies, such as Turkish delight, Iskender kebab (doner meat covered in tomato sauce on pide bread), saksuka (a diced aubergine dish), hamsili pilav (an anchovy and rice dish), manti (Turkish ravioli) and gozleme (pastry pockets with salty cheese and spinach).
