The ceremony of the Whirling Dervishes is an 800-year old tradition in Turkey, and consequently an important part of Turkey’s cultural heritage. In fact, UNESCO proclaimed this unique ceremony an Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2005.
Turkey has many areas that offer superb skiing in a variety of snow conditions. The ski season generally starts in mid-December and ends in mid-March, although the season starts in mid-November in a few places and ends in April in others.
