- Nevşehir, Cappadocia
One of the first places to come to mind for a holiday in February is Cappadocia! This region has breath-taking views in all four seasons but has an extraordinary atmosphere when it is covered in snow. You should head to Nevşehir to view Cappadocia from above in a hot air balloon ride allowing you to see the region in a new light!
When staying in Cappadocia, cave hotels are an experience not to be missed. The unusual structure of cave hotel rooms will allow you to immerse yourself in the history and mysterious atmosphere of Cappadocia. We need to remind you that Cappadocia is quite cold in winter, so dress appropriately, you do not want to get cold while walking to see the fairy chimneys.
2. Bursa, Uludağ
If you want to give your children a memorable experience during the February break head to a resort where you can ski as a family. Uludağ is a holiday destination where you can ski and relax surrounded by flaky snow!
If you are an early riser, we recommend that you first enjoy breakfast with a mountain view at one of the breakfast restaurants. Then make your way to the runs before they get too crowded.
If you are an experienced skier, you probably already have your own ski equipment. However, if you are going skiing for the first time on this holiday, it is a good idea to get at least two hours of ski training from the ski instructors. Ask the instructors for help in choosing the appropriate equipment. In addition to skiing, in Uludağ you can also take a cable car ride to admire the view and snap beautiful photos.
3. Sapanca, Sakarya
If you are asking, “What is there to do near İstanbul during the break?”, we suggest you go to Sapanca! With its location in close proximity to İstanbul and its impressive atmosphere during the winter, Sapanca, Sakarya is one of the most beautiful places in winter, you will see why it is a favourite of İstanbulites.
Lake views and snow-covered forests make this spot an ideal destination for the February break. You can enjoy Sapanca with a large group of friends or you can choose to have a more romantic time with your significant other.
If you want to stay for more than a day, it is important to make your accommodation plans early. Especially in winter, bungalow hotels are very popular and fill up quickly. If you want to have a cosy Sapanca holiday surrounded by nature, in a warm and snug house, book your room with Odamax before it is late!
4. Sarıkamış, Kars

Ayder Plateau, one of the heavenly corners of the Black Sea, stands out among the other places to go with its clean air and vivid greenery. This plateau, which is beautiful year-round provides a bit more of a nostalgic and romantic atmosphere in February.
