Monastir has plenty of festivals that’d make the perfect centrepiece for your holiday, here are a few of our favourites:
National Sovereignty and Children’s Day
Gifted to the children of Turkey by the first president of the Turkish Republic, the 23rd of April is both a celebration of the nation’s independence and the children who will foster that freedom for generations to come. The celebrations are ideal for families with plenty for kids to see and do.
Victory Day
A celebration of Turkey’s victory at the Battle of Dumlupinar on August 30th during the Turkish War of Independence, Victory Day is an important day in the Turkish calendar. Celebrations involve military parades and street parties, making it a great time to get a snapshot of the country’s culture.
