Bali from Istanbul
10,350 km, about 13h 32m in the air. Every month scored for the weather at Bali and for the holidays that crowd it out at both ends.
Affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you book through one, at no extra cost to you. It changes nothing above — the scores are computed from climate and fare data before any link is built.
Free, on Telegram. One tap — IST is already chosen. We write
when a fare is genuinely below what that route normally costs, and
/stop ends it.
Public holidays at Istanbul move this destination's year too little to make it a different answer, so the Bali page is the one of record. This one is kept for the distance and the flight it implies.
No fare history on IST–DPS yet, so this ranking is climate and crowds only. The price column fills in as the scanner collects.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in TR as well as at Bali, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.
The year in Bali
Bali experiences a wet season from November to March, which could affect travel plans. The peak tourist times are around the end of December to early January.
| Busiest |
mid Dec to early Jan — This period coincides with the Christmas and New Year holidays, attracting many tourists.
|
|---|---|
| Quieter, still good |
early Jun to late Jun — This month sees fewer tourists compared to the peak season yet offers good weather.
early Oct to mid Nov — Transitioning into low season, visitors can enjoy better rates and fewer crowds.
|
| Wet or stormy |
mid Nov to late Mar — monsoon, moderate

This section was written by a language model from the climate figures above, and nobody has checked it. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe. The busiest and quieter periods here also count toward the crowd score, which is 20% of the ranking.
