Snowy landscapes always come to mind when it comes to winter vacation. So where is it best enjoyed in winter? Birten Çankaya, the phenomenon traveler of Instagram and the author of Seyahatimgeldi, has seen and wrote the closest winter holiday routes to Istanbul for you. It is an amazing pleasure to travel in the winter season when nature is covered with a white blanket. If you want to get rid of the stress of work, take nature walks under the snow, and take pictures like postcards, this article is for you. Moreover, they are all just a few hours away from Istanbul by car. Isn’t it too early to plan the winter vacation? Not.
Because early booking ensures that you always have an advantage. So if you wait for the snowfall for the winter holiday, be sure you will be making your reservations at much higher prices than today. Not only accommodation but also travel will be more expensive as the ideal days for the winter vacation approach.
My advice is to travel by rent a car. Do not start without checking the Istanbul car rental prices on Yolcu360. The ones who hire now will not regret it.
