Real Estate Turkey

Turkey's national and regional holidays fall into three categories: religious feasts celebrated throughout the islamic world, festivities associated with events or people in Turkish history, and traditional festivals, usually with a seasonal theme. The joyful spirit is tangible on public holidays and religious feast days when old and young, rich and poor unite and extended families gather.
Regional events celebrate Turkey's diverse origins in term of music, folklore, sport and the performing arts.Urban centres like Izmir and Istanbul host wellpublicized festivals, but smaller towns also stage lively celebrations. Luna Park are wildly popular.
The passage of the seasons is important, as many venues are outdoors. In the eastern provinces, harsh winters restrict the types of events that can be staged.

Muslim Holidays
The date of the Muslim calendar and its holidays are governed by the phases of the moon and therefore change from year to year.
In the holy month of Ramazan, Muslims do not eat or drink between dawn and dusk. Some restaurants are closed during the day and tourists should be discreet when eating in public.
Straight after this follows three-day
Şeker Bayramı (sugar festival), when sweet measts are prepared. Two months and 10 days later, a four day celebration, Kurban Bayramı (feast of the sacrifice), commemorates the Koranic version of Abraham's sacrifice.
This is the main annual public holiday in Turkey, and hotels,trains and roads are packed.
