Also for my traveling readers who want to apply the same tactic. Public holidays, special days and holiday periods of the academic year in 2023I prepared what. All you have to do is make your travel plan!

How Do We Get Maximum Vacation With Minimum Leave?

When we look at the public holidays in 2023, a total of 14,5 days of leave is available due to the public holiday. Unfortunately, this number also includes the days that fall on the weekend. And 2023 is a very stingy year in this respect, most of the public holidays come to the weekend. Let's not get discouraged though. It is possible to increase this period to 4 days by using only 30 extra days off.

In the table below you will find the table on how you can increase your total leave period to 4 days by using only 30 days of extra leave.

2023 Academic Term Holidays

Your hardworking blogger has also taken care of you during the school holidays for families with children.

  • Semester Holiday: Monday, January 23, 2023 – Friday, February 3, 2023

As the details of the 2023-2024 Academic Year calendar have not been finalized yet, the 2023st Midterm Holiday dates for 1 have not been determined yet. Those who are childless during this period not to take a vacation can plan, it will also benefit them, because when the schools are on holiday, everywhere is extra crowded.

Vacation Plan Recommendations for 2023

If I were in your place;

  • I would extend my April holiday to 3 days by taking 9 days off before Eid al-Fitr. That week can also be a holiday opportunity for schools, especially for families with children.
  • You can extend that holiday to 15 days by taking leave the week before or after Eid al-Adha. Thus, you can comfortably plan your summer vacation.
  • Before and after the Victory Day, which came on Wednesday, I would take leave for 4 days and take 9 days off. Consider these options, especially if you want to use long leaves.
  • Also, even though it's not a public holiday Valentine's Day For those who want to celebrate, it will be on Tuesday, February 2023 in 14. You can consider making a romantic getaway for 4 days using Monday-Tuesday leave. For example, Kars would be a great route to go on those dates! Places to visit in Kars My post will give you an idea.

The biggest disadvantage of using leave on public holidays is that the places to go especially in the country are very crowded, and in parallel with this, transportation and accommodation costs are high. For this reason, I can recommend that they prefer international routes instead of domestic, especially for those who plan to travel as long as 9 days.

Have a pleasant trip already!
