Climate features
The weather in Turkey for the New Year 2020 is characterized by the absence of heat and warm sea. The column of the thermometer in the daytime varies from 15-20 ºС, and at night it drops to 10-12 ºС. The water temperature in the Mediterranean does not exceed 17 ºС, which makes swimming almost impossible. Despite the prohibitions, many Russian tourists, heated by alcohol, manage to swim in the coastal zone, which causes a storm of surprise for local residents.
January is the rainy season in Turkey, when up to 200 mm of rain falls in the southern regions of the country. On the continental part of the state there is less rainfall, but here there are no more than 10-12 sunny days per month. In inclement weather, the wind becomes piercing and increases to 10-15 m / s, causing discomfort. Nevertheless, in January Turkey is warmer than in Russian resorts, for example, Sochi, Anapa or Yalta.
How to celebrate a holiday?
The new 2020 year in Turkey is a varied leisure that will not leave you indifferent. Among the popular entertainment, we note:
- Shopping
- visiting restaurants;
- skiing;
- sightseeing.
Turkey is a Muslim country, as a result of which the celebration of the European New Year is held only in large cities (Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, etc.). Unfortunately, nobody decorates the Christmas trees here, and decorated artificial beauties can be found only in shopping centers. On the evening of December 31, several hundred tourists, mainly Russians, who behave rather modestly, gather in the central squares. Large-scale celebrations are held only in hotels, and here guests are provided with a rich entertainment program with songs, dances, contests.
Culturally, New Year 2020 in Turkey is offered by cozy restaurants that serve local or European cuisine, various wines (for example, sharap) and vodka (crayfish). It is worth trying kebab, pilaf, sujuk, fish dishes. For dessert, most often ordered are Turkish delight, baklava, tulamba, and Turkish coffee. The price of a gala dinner will be $ 50-100 from the table, but most bars and restaurants close at 2 a.m. If the soul requires, to continue the celebration is recommended in nightclubs, open until morning.

Unlike coastal hotels, apartment prices in nearby hotels for the New Year only increase (the average room price is $ 60 per day).
