Off-peak season, for a vacation, is going to depend upon the destination, but it is the time when the least amount of people go there. Off-peak season for the Caribbean, which is a great time to go, is going to be June, July, August, where people don't think of Oh, lets go to the Caribbean. You can also get some exceptional hotel and resort values in the Caribbean in those months: June, July, and August. With Europe off-peak season, the best off-season time is right after New Years. Also, if you want to go shopping it's great after the holiday sales. You can get some great hotel deals, so Europe is going to be during January or February. Turkey, Istanbul, is cooler. It's probably about 45 degrees in Istanbul, but it's a great time to go - the city's empty, it's not hot, and you can get in to see some wonderful places pretty much on your own.
