Hello Sheila, can't give you any info on this trip but agree that it sounds great - if I go, it will probably be November 2011 when it's cooler.

It was a number of years ago when I was last in Istanbul in February but just to let you know my experience: it was very cold and wet when I arrived in the evening and when I woke up in the morning Istanbul was covered in a heavy blanket of snow which stayed for the rest of my long weekend trip. So take layers, gloves etc. just in case. After saying that the city looked amazing - enjoy your break 🙂

Hi ysb12, Thankyou for weather info, that really helps. Not bothered about the cold as long as I can leave U.K. ok, I got caught up in last Xmas's weather, it was very stressful but great when I got to my destination!

Hi, the same thing happened to me - I visited Istambul one February (must be about 15 years ago) and the first evening, it snowed, and the snow stayed for the entire trip - the locals didn't seem too surprised, either - maybe it is a regular occurance or you and I were there at the same time!!

I'm thinking of doing this trip next October (2011) - still a lot that I didn't see first time.

Hi Rosimo, I would have liked to avoid the snow if poss but Feb is the only time I go as I work in a school, roll on retirement so I can go anytime!!! shouldn't wish my time away.
