If you are tired of celebrating the New Year with traditional Olivier salad and a Christmas tree, New Year in Turkey can be a great and memorable holiday. This is not a country where you can safely swim in the sea in winter, unless you like cold water. Although on the Mediterranean coast the temperature rarely drops below 18°C. But if you work a little and organize your New Year holidays in Turkey, this New Year will certainly be memorable for you.

Turkey offers a huge number of all kinds of entertainment and activities for the New Year holidays. But not everyone knows what opportunities the holidays provide in this country. Therefore, you can often hear reviews about a boring New Year holiday. You create the holiday yourself! And there are plenty of opportunities for this in Turkey. But the most important thing is that if you are tired of the routine, buying an apartment in Turkey to celebrate the New Year under a palm tree, in sunny weather and in shorts is a great way to diversify the routine. Traditional (and most popular) winter holiday destinations in Turkey are:
- Istanbul
- Ski resorts
- Seaside resorts
New Year in Istanbul
Istanbul is one of the most visited cities in the world. It is the cradle of both Turkish history and the more ancient Byzantine one. There are many monuments of ancient architecture and historical sites with a rich heritage. Regardless of the season, Istanbul is always ready to offer a lot of interesting and entertaining things. Among other things, Istanbul for the New Year will be especially interesting for lovers of New Year shopping (in shopping centers there are just ubiquitous promotions and discounts for the New Year), as well as for connoisseurs of Turkish history and culture.

What to see in Istanbul:
- Grand Bazaar
- Pedestrian street Istiklal with a large number of boutiques of world brands of various goods
- Hagia Sophia Cathedral
- Topkapi Palace
- Galata Tower
- Celebrating the New Year on the Bosphorus on a modern liner
- Houses decorated with lights and spectacular fireworks and New Year's fireworks
- Cozy restaurants and cafes
And although buying an apartment in Istanbul is not the best investment from a long-term point of view, using this opportunity to diversify your vacation is a good option.
Ski resorts in Turkey for New Year
Visiting one of the ski resorts in Turkey for the New Year is a great idea for a family holiday. It is better than the Carpathians or the Caucasus precisely because of the developed infrastructure around the ski resorts and in them. The best winter resorts in Turkey are considered to be:
- Sarykamysh,
- Uludag,
- Kartalkaya,
- Palandoken,
- Erciyes.

You will be pleasantly surprised by the prices and level of service at these resorts. A good solution if you like active recreation, frosty days and sun, lots of snow and skiing with a snowboard. Foreigners are usually concerned about the question: what is better – to rent an apartment in Turkey or to rent a hotel room? We offer a completely unusual option – to buy an apartment or a house in Turkey. Of course, if you are just looking for a one-time vacation in Turkey, this option will not suit you. But if you want to radically change your approach to your holidays and to celebrating the New Year in particular, buying a villa or a private house somewhere by the sea already looks good. In addition to the fact that this will allow you to diversify your own vacation, you can turn this investment into an investment that will also bring profit while you are not living there.

Do they celebrate New Year in Turkey?
Traditionally, Turks celebrate the New Year according to the Eastern tradition in March. This month, both Muslims and Jews celebrate the beginning of the year. But since Turkey is a tourist country that hosts many Europeans, celebrations according to the European tradition are held throughout the country from December 31 to January 1. Many resort towns also hold celebrations on the occasion of Christian Christmas.


For example, in Alanya they have recently even started to install and decorate Christmas trees for the New Year, as they do in Europe. And most hotels and restaurants prepare a holiday menu in various cuisines. This food can always be ordered home and celebrated with family somewhere on the coast.
