The entire multi-million tourist fraternity, albeit very conditionally, can still be divided into two large groups according to the degree of susceptibility of the body to changes in time zones.
Representatives of the first group easily endure a sharp change of time zone and quickly adapt to the rhythm of life of the country where they flew for vacation. As a rule, these are people who are able to fall asleep when they want, and not at the behest of the clock.
Tourists from another group painfully endure even a relatively short "voyage" across time zones and are forced to "accustom" their bodies to a new schedule for several days. Obviously, these are people who have been living the same daily routine for years (or even decades), due to the peculiarities of their bodies, and more often because of their damned job, which requires early rising and equally early going to bed.
Of course, the unlucky representatives of the second group need to carefully approach the choice of a tourist route, because it is not right to walk around like a sleepwalker for the first few days instead of enjoying the rest. And the vacation is not unlimited...
Turkey! This is simply a great option for a vacation for such "time-dependent" people. The time difference with Turkey for residents of Moscow, St. Petersburg and the vast majority of the European part of Russia is simply ridiculous - only minus one hour. Citizens of Ukraine are even luckier, because the countries are in the same time zone and whatever time it is in Turkey at the moment is the same in Kyiv, Kharkov, Donetsk, Nikolaev, Odessa, etc.
Of course, Russia is huge, and there are many time zones. The further east you go, the greater the difference. For example, residents of Yekaterinburg or Perm will have to set their clocks back three hours upon arrival in Istanbul. Is that a lot or a little to maintain normal health? Who the hell knows, ask your body…
Turkey Time Zone
Turkey's summer time zone is "UTC +3", which means Eastern European time, the same as in Belarus, Ukraine, Hungary and Bulgaria, Egypt, Poland, the Czech Republic and many other countries. The undoubted advantage is that the entire territory of the country is in one time zone, that is, there is no time difference between the resorts of Turkey: Antalya, Izmir, Istanbul, Marmaris, Kemer, Side, Fethiye, etc. - all cities live according to the same regime. By the way, you can find out what time it is in Turkey now by looking at our online clock, posted for your convenience a little below.
Are you confused by the phrase "in the summer" at the beginning of the previous paragraph? Yes, your guess is correct, Turkey does practice switching clocks to summer and winter time, although it would be possible to abandon such an atavism by now. So, the summer time zone of Turkey is "UTC +3", and the winter time zone is "UTC +2". The clock hands are moved forward an hour on March 31, and back an hour on October 27.
