New Year’s Eve is approaching and with the date of 31 December 2018 coinciding with a Monday, one day off creates a 4-day holiday opportunity.. Although those who want to take advantage of this opportunity have already started researching where to go for a holiday at New Year’s, we have prepared a list that will answer the question where to go on holiday on New Year’s for those who have not yet decided and left work to the last days.
No matter what culture they belong to, Christmas means snow for many people, so the recommendations in our article will be in this direction.. In addition, for the 4-day New Year’s holiday, domestic rather than abroad will be more suitable.. If you say I want it to be warm, we think Phuket is suitable for both the season and the New Year, the precipitation is less in this period, so you can have a nice summer vacation, you can check our Phuket article for details.. After reminding you that you will need to take a few more days off, let’s go back to the places to go for New Year’s holidays in Turkey, by the way, you can find our plan for this year at the end of the article.
1- Uludağ – Bursa
We seem to hear you say we know this, but we still said let’s not go without giving the first place, although it seems like the most suitable place, considering the prices, we don’t think it’s worth it.. It has rained well this year and as of now, the slopes are suitable for skiing, it seems that the 2018-2019 ski season will be good for Uludağ.. We can say that Uludağ is the best place in terms of New Year’s entertainments, as Uludağ is the place where entertainment is the most intense among Turkey’s Ski Centers.. Hotels in the ski resort are flying around during the Christmas holiday, so you can also consider the idea of staying in the center of Bursa.. Many hotels organize a night of their own.
2- Palandöken – Erzurum
It is definitely a good alternative next to Uludağ, the prices are more affordable and there is enough Christmas entertainment in Palandöken, although not as much as Uludağ. you can find. At the moment, the runways are already open, and snow making machines are actively used here, so it seems that there will be no problem with snow at New Year’s.. In our opinion, Palandoken is the most suitable place for New Year’s holiday this year, but we will not be here, the reason is that we will go here on January 4th.. Since it would be unnecessary to spend the New Year’s Eve in Palandöken and come to Istanbul on January 1 and go again on January 4, we wanted to make a more affordable plan for the New Year’s holiday.
3 – Kartalkaya – Bolu
Preferable if entertainment isn’t your top priority. There is always Christmas fun, but not like Uludağ and Palandoken.. It opened the season on December 14, but on December 16, the snow has softened due to the southeastern region and we cannot say that it is suitable for skiing, but it will probably not be a problem at New Year’s.. If you prefer the hotels on the Dorukkaya side, you can find a little more entertainment than the Kartal hotel side, and snow making machines are also an advantage here.. Our Kartalkaya Ski Center article can give you more ideas, we definitely recommend you to read it.. It will be a more expensive holiday compared to Palandöken, but its close proximity is a great advantage, if you are late in planning your New Year’s holiday and Erzurum flight ticket prices have increased, you can turn your direction to Kartalkaya.. You can reach it either by your own vehicle or by road through tour companies.
4 – Erciyes – Kayseri
For us, Christmas entertainment is not a must, we want to use the 4-day holiday more efficiently.. That’s why we chose Erciyes for New Year’s holiday this year.. We leave Istanbul on Friday evening and arrive in Istanbul on Tuesday evening.. Our accommodation will be in the center of Kayseri, where it does not take long to climb the mountain; so it is ideal to stay in the center.. We say we’ll see if we can find something there for New Year’s entertainment, frankly, we don’t think we can find much, but we can enter 2019 by eating ravioli; no problem for us. The cost of this program is 1.180 TL per person, this price includes transportation between Istanbul and Kayseri, morning and evening transfer between the hotel and the ski resort, 3 nights accommodation, 3 meals a day and 3 full-day ski-passes.. Transportation by bus seems to be a bit of a disadvantage, but considering the price, it is quite affordable and Erciyes is a suitable place to open the season.. Although the snow situation is not at a sufficient level at the moment, according to our experience and the ski instructors there, we do not think that there will be a snow problem at the beginning of the new year. The fact that we have not had a snowless New Year’s Eve until now has made it easier for us to plan and decide on Erciyes.
Short for you. and we tried to prepare a concise list.. Of course, there are many places that can be added to the list of Places to go on New Year’s Eve, but we have eliminated it for various reasons; For example, Bansko is one of them, but getting a Bulgarian visa for a 4-day holiday is meaningless, if you already have a Schengen visa, you can consider it.. Hotels such as Antalya, Cyprus, etc. can also be considered, but staying in a hotel for a New Year’s dinner is not for us, it may be preferred if the purpose is for New Year’s Eve entertainment, but we eliminated these places first because we consider it New Year’s holiday.
