we will be heading east from Istanbul along a more northerly route towards Georgia, then further south on the return leg. Depending on how hot it gets will dictate how far south we go.

Just shake this thread tree and see what falls out!
Anyone heading out this way still?
I leave on the 8th Aug as planned for Istanbul by 15th. But sightly earlier in the day - midday from Essex. No set route very flexible.

We are going to Turkey but from the opposite direction, Russia, Georgia, Turkey and may then head to the south coast depends on how long it takes to ride round the black sea. Andy.

Having just returned from the trip I can say that of the two weeks we spent in and around Turkey only two days in the south of the country were HOT ( 40 something!) the rest ranged from very "warm" to very cold & wet.
Overall it was hot where I expected it to be hot and cooler where I expected. Would I go in August again? Yes probably.........
However............camping in the south is not too good. Get a cheap hotel with aircon!  I expected that too
