Hello,
I'm signed up for the first Turkey tour of the season and wanted to know about the weather in March.
If anyone has taken the Turkey tour in March of any year what was the weather like, how cold/how hot?

I haven't done the Best of Turkey tour, but I have been to Turkey twice in March, and I would be prepared for the probability of a cold snap or two. Istanbul can often be cold (~40° F) and/or rainy in March --- not always, but often enough that I would prepare for it. Capadoccia will almost certainly be dry and cold in the evenings. Pamukkale was in the high 30's in the mornings but warmed up considerably in the afternoons when I was there in mid-April. Even in sunny Antalya, I have sometimes needed a fleece in late March.
Layers are your friends in the shoulder seasons in Turkey.

Karen, thank you for this question. We are on this tour starting April 7 and in Greece prior.
I’ll be checking for responses. I had picked the earlier times to avoid being overheated. Now I’m wondering if it will be cold. Looks like layers for me.
