Summer is high season for Istanbul. To be safe, make sure to book reservations if you plan to travel in June, July, and August.
Taking advantage of the low season has many advantages, most notably lighter crowds, longer days, and lower prices. Some lodgings drastically cut their prices, and there's no need for reservations. Call restaurants and sights before your trip for their off-season schedule before including them in your itinerary. Even as major cities and university towns exude energy during these months due in part to study abroad students, smaller coastal towns are empty, and sights almost everywhere cut their prices.
For 52 years, we have published the world’s favorite budget travel guides, written entirely by students and updated every year. With pen and notebook in hand and a few changes of underwear stuffed in our backpacks, we spend months roaming the globe in search of travel bargains.
