There are a few downsides to planning travel to public holidays:
- Since everyone goes on vacation at the same time, popular resorts get very crowded. Even if you go abroad, if you are going to a place preferred by Turks, be prepared for crowds everywhere or choose less preferred destinations.
- The second and more important problem is that airline companies, car rental companies and hotels do not include these periods in discount campaigns. If you want to have a holiday during these periods, try to make your reservations early.
Although not a public holiday, February 14, Valentine's Day, falls on a Monday in 2022. A 1-day long weekend holiday can be planned by taking 3 day off.
I especially tried to add the academic year holidays to the calendar, but since the 2022-2023 calendar has not been clarified yet, the 2022 autumn semester break is not included in the calendar, I will update it again when it is announced.
