What should I pack for Turkey?

  • On the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts winters are mild but often rainy: bring an umbrella or a rain jacket.
  • In summer, bring a hat and sun cream, and drink plenty of bottled water, which is sold everywhere.
  • Cappadocia is cold and can be snowy in winter: bring warm clothes and boots. Summers there are hot and dry.
  • Comfortable walking shoes: ancient sites have uneven stone paths and stairs.
  • Some Turkish lira for small purchases. Euros and US dollars are accepted in many places, and exchange offices are easy to find.
