My suggestion would be Turkish Bath in the Sirkeci Area. That will deffinately feel well at that time. Don't forget to drink your lime soda after the bath :) </p> http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/topic/christmas-in-turkey#post-398 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 12:46:30 +0000 kemal 398@http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/ <p>Christmas actually does not mean anything in Turkey. Turkey's population is mostly muslim and they dont celebrate christmas.<br /> On the other hand New Year's eve is special. You can expect lots of crowd on New Year's Eve in Istanbul but you wont be in Itsanbul on that day.</p> <p>23rd - 30th December, you wont feel any difference during your holiday. </p> http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/topic/christmas-in-turkey#post-105 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 23:00:32 +0000 peg 105@http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/ We are a couple visiting Turkey between 23rd - 30th December, and have already booked flights and hotels using the vast amounts of information elsewhere on the site. We have visited various areas in Turkey on previous occassions, but this will be our first visit to Istanbul. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Would I still be right in expecting some facilities such as transport etc. to be running at less than peak levels, or is it really business as usual? <br /> <br />Are tourist numbers high - as suggested by peak rates at most hotels? <br /> <br />Any advice
