Seasonal offers · Eid al-Fitr 1448 AH
Eid al-Fitr 2027 offers in Turkey start with early planning. Eid is expected around March 9 or 10, 2027, depending on the moon sighting, and it is a busy travel season for families from Turkey and abroad alike. We arrange your flights, hotel and driver in one program that fits your holiday days.
Eid al-Fitr 2027 falls at the start of spring, a good time to visit Turkey before the heat and crowds of summer. But the Eid days themselves are peak season: many families from the Gulf and other countries travel in the same week, and Eid al-Fitr (Ramazan Bayramı) is an official holiday in Turkey, when Turkish families also travel between cities.
That is why we recommend booking flights and hotels early, especially family rooms, suites and the bungalows in Sapanca, which are limited in number and fill up early in busy seasons. Booking early gives you a wider choice of hotels and flight times, and makes it easier to arrange the driver who stays with you throughout the trip. Those who book before Ramadan usually have more flexibility in choosing direct flights and arrival times that suit the children.
In March, Istanbul is cool to mild with rain showers, snow may remain on the summit of Uludağ in early March, and Antalya is warmer and sunnier. Choose from the suggested programs below or ask for a custom one, and we will suggest the best way to divide your holiday days. We can also combine two cities with different atmospheres, such as Istanbul with Antalya, so the family can enjoy both city and sun.
Options
If you only have a few days, the 5-day Istanbul program combines the old city, the Bosphorus and a day in Sapanca and Maşukiye.
Istanbul and Bursa in 7 days or Istanbul, Sapanca and Bursa in 8 days, with a chance to see snow on Uludağ if it lasts into early March.
Trabzon and Uzungöl in 7 days for mountain and lake lovers. Note that March is cold there and some plateau roads may be affected by snow.
Add the 3-day Cappadocia program to your Istanbul trip with a short domestic flight. The balloon ride is optional and depends on the weather.
The 7-day Antalya program for families who prefer sun and resorts, with tours to the waterfalls, the old town and the Olympos cable car.
If your vacation lasts nearly two weeks, the 12-day Turkey program for families combines Istanbul, Sapanca, Trabzon and Uzungöl at a relaxed pace.

Questions & answers
Eid al-Fitr 1448 AH is expected around March 9 or 10, 2027. The final date is set by the moon sighting in each country, so we recommend leaving a day or two of flexibility in your travel dates.
Usually yes. Eid is an official holiday in Turkey, when Turkish families travel between cities, and it coincides with many families traveling from abroad. We ease this by starting tours early and choosing quieter times for the busiest places.
In Istanbul it is cool to mild during the day with a chance of rain. In Trabzon and the Black Sea region it is colder with fog, in Cappadocia nights are very cold, while Antalya is warmer and often sunny. These are general patterns and vary from year to year.
Snow may remain on Uludağ near Bursa in early March, and also in the mountain highlands of the Black Sea region, but it is not guaranteed and depends on the season. We check conditions before your trip date and suggest a suitable alternative.
The earlier you book, the better, ideally before the expected start of Ramadan around February 8 or 9, 2027. Booking early gives you a wider choice of flights and family rooms.
Yes. The suggested programs are only a starting point. We can adjust the number of days, the cities and the hotel category, or add Cappadocia or Antalya to an Istanbul trip.
