New Year’s Day in Turkey starts with fireworks after the traditional countdown at the end of the New Year’s Eve. Celebrations usually last until dawn and many people use the day off on January 1 to relax and visit friends and relatives. New year´s day is celebrated in Turkey, very much like it is celebrated anywhere in the world. After all, it is yet another opportunity to have a holiday and enjoy ourselves. You can see large groups of people outside, counting down the seconds as loudly as possible during the last seconds of the year.
