Holiday breaks
March mid-term break: family trips from Antalya
Antalya follows the national MEB calendar. Its spring mid-term break is the school week of 8–12 March 2027, Monday to Friday; with the weekends either side the gap is nine days. The example below uses five days within that window; adjust the trip length to match your available days. The longer semester break (25 January – 5 February, return 8 February) and the autumn break (16–20 November 2026) are alternatives. The school year ends on 25 June 2027.

What to weigh
- A seven-day trip in March would need the weekends at both ends; five days fits the school week itself.
- Switch to January in the tool for a longer semester-break trip.
- The shortlist is ranked on modelled cost only; it does not filter by flight time, direct service, weather or entry rules. Check those yourself.
- The budget is an editable illustration in local currency for a family of four, not a typical, recommended or guaranteed amount.
Questions
- Why five days and not seven?
- The mid-term is a Monday–Friday week; seven days only fits if you use both weekends.
- Are these live prices?
- No. They are modelled whole-trip estimates for the example inputs shown. Change the departure city, days, budget or party to recalculate.
