Bottoms: In hot weather, shorts are excellent choices for staying cool during outdoor activities at daytime, whereas light pants are preferable if you’re heading to a mountainous region or traveling around during the night.
Shoes: When it comes to visiting various destinations, it is crucial to have appropriate footwear. For instance, you need a comfortable pair of sneakers to make your travel easier in Istanbul’s steep slopes and Cappadocia’s mountain roads. Additionally, if you plan to have an island cruise, a pair of slippers should come in handy, offering comfort and convenience during your excursion.
Others: In July, with soaring temperatures, packing anti-heat medication is necessary. And don’t underestimate the intensity of ultraviolet rays, as they can cause severe sunburn. Thus, be sure to put sunglasses, parasol, sunhat and sunscreen into your bag. If you plan to engage in paragliding, it is advisable to prepare motion sickness medication beforehand. This will help alleviate discomfort caused by the sensation of weightlessness during takeoff.

Tourism Rate:Considering the unfavorable climate condition and higher travel expenses in the peak season, July is actually not a good time to visit Turkey. But it’s right the time to have fun along the Mediterranean coast. If you can’t give up enjoying the fun of summer in 2025, be sure to protect yourself from the sun and stay hydrated. Here are some recommended destinations:
1. Ephesus
Ephesus may be a bit crowded in July, but its distinct charm is reflected in this bustle. To avoid unpleasant experience brought by high temperature, you’d better visit it after 18:00 pm. Ephesus is open from 08:00 am - 24:00 pm, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough time to explore. On weekends, there are also nighttime performances for your appreciation. As the largest and most well-preserved Greco-Roman city in the world, Ephesus offers a fascinating blend of ancient Greek and Roman cultures. Except from Rome, it was the second-biggest city in ancient Rome. You can imagine how busy it used to be when you visit the Library of Celsus, the Temple of Hardian, and the Temple of Artemis here. Additionally, buildings like the theater, racetrack, and arena have been preserved, demonstrating its prosperity at the period. For capturing the perfect photographs, twilight provides the most enchanting backdrop.2. Fethiye
Fethiye boasts ideal temperatures for an exciting paragliding adventure and water activities in July, which will definitely delight those who love summer. As you take off from a 2,000-meters-high mountain, soaring through the sky with a unique view of the Mediterranean Sea, you'll be surprised at this unparalleled experience! Make sure to capture your bravest smile with cameras. Your paraglider will land on the picturesque Oludeniz Beach, where the turquoise waters captivate visitors from all over the world. You can snorkel here and interact with fish in the sea. Additionally, a Mediterranean island cruise is an absolute must-do. You will view the beautiful scenery of Butterfly Valley, Blue Cave, and St. Nicholas Island.
