If you want to fly to Turkey at the end of October, check the indicated departure time on your ticket. The times must be up to date: Turkey will stay in the summertime permanently, while all European countries change to winter time. In Turkey only summer time is applicable. This makes it possible to make full use of daylight throughout the year, says Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım. The time difference with Central European Time is two hours from Sunday on. In the far east of Turkey (1000km away), it will no longer be dark at 16:00 hrs. from now on. In the West, it will be light later in the morning. Even in the EU, people are always talking about the use of summer time.
