For international travellers, it is best, if possible, to try and avoid travel to Çeşme during Turkish public holidays (and adjacent weekends), especially those in the summer months. While there may be additional events and festivals, hotels and car hire prices can increase dramatically, and facilities such as the public beaches can get crowded. Such peak periods can also challenge public services, such as causing power outages, lowering water pressure, and reducing mobile connections and internet speeds.
Below are the provisional public holiday dates for Turkey:
