Palandoken Ski Center

I suggest you to rent your equipment early in the morning. The queues can get long, especially on weekends. I waited almost an hour, which cut into my skiing time.

I think it's a great idea to sign up for a group lesson even if you're experienced. It helped me pick up some new tricks and was way less crowded around 11 AM rather than later in the day.

I recommend checking out the local eateries for lunch. It's way cheaper than eating at the resort and you'll find some delicious traditional Turkish food.

My advice is to explore the off-piste areas if you're feeling adventurous. The views are stunning and it's so much fun to get away from the crowded slopes!

I suggest booking your lift pass online before you arrive to save some cash and avoid those long queues. I got stuck waiting, and it was not fun.

My advice is to rent your gear from local shops instead of the resort. You can save a bit of cash and find better options too.

I recommend grabbing lunch at a nearby café instead of the resort. The prices are way better and you'll get to try some local flavors which is a win-win!

I suggest hitting the slopes early, like around 8 AM, to avoid the crowds and get fresh powder. Trust me, it makes a huge difference!
PenguenTepe

Get to PenguenTepe by 9 AM if you can. The slopes are less crowded and you can try beginner runs without the rush. It’s a totally different vibe in the morning.

I suggest trying to book a lesson with a ski instructor. They know the best spots and tricks to make the most of your day. It made my experience way more enjoyable, trust me!

I found the equipment rental pricing a bit high, so my advice is to bring your own gear if you can. It saves some cash and you won't waste time waiting in line!

My advice is to grab lunch before 12:30 PM. After that, the lines get super long and it took me almost an hour to get food. Plus, bring your own snacks to munch on while waiting
