Holidays & cultural calendar
Upcoming holidays and cultural events in Turkey
Plan RFQs, approvals and deliveries around the days when offices, customs and ports close. Weekend: Sat–Sun.
Business seasonality: Business stops during Ramadan Bayram and especially Kurban Bayram (often extended to 9 days with bridge leave) and slows in late July–August holiday season; Islamic holidays follow Diyanet's pre-calculated calendar, so they move ~11 days earlier each year.
Seaports & logistics
Main container gateways for shipments from Ho Chi Minh City / Cai Mep to Turkey. Steel is shipped in containers, flat racks or break-bulk depending on member size.
