Turkey weather reviews

Last year I went on holiday to Turkey in the city of Bodrum. I was given leave in May. I rested for 3 weeks, during which time it never rained. It was sunny the whole holiday. The air temperature was high, but not too high. By that time, the Aegean Sea was pleasant for swimming, the water temperature was comfortable. I can safely say that summer begins in Bodrum in May. This is a great time to relax, sunbathe on the beach and the risks of getting sunburned are minimal.

My wife and I decided to take a vacation without children. April is not yet a mega active season in Turkey, which means lower prices and fewer people. Friends recommended a hotel that is for adults only. They moved into it. The weather in mid-April was wonderful, there was a lot of sun, and the temperature rose to 25°C. My wife didn’t dare swim, but I took a dip every day. Although it is not a particularly hot month in Alanya, I was well tanned. This year it would be possible to come there in May.

I was in Antalya in January and couldn’t resist the offer to go to Alanya for a day. The journey takes 2 hours and during this time such landscapes open up. Just on the day of the trip it was a sunny day, although the temperature was no higher than 13°C. This is normal for January in Turkey. Nevertheless, I enjoyed visiting the red tower in Alanya and walking along the seashore. The wind was average, but it ruffled my hair well. However, there were brave souls who, in this weather, took off their sneakers and caught the “warm” waves of the sea.

Antalya is not particularly hospitable in winter. Especially in January. In my latitude there are many days off in January, so this is the ideal time to go to see my mother in Turkey, who has been living there since the beginning of 2022. During the 5 days of my stay, it rained periodically for 2 days. The city was really drowning in water. The maximum temperature was 10°. But when it was partly cloudy, it became warmer and it was even possible to walk along the embankment. I wasn’t going to swim myself, and I didn’t see anyone else wanting to. I don't think January is a good month for a holiday in Antalya.

Turkey is another country that can surprise you with its architecture and natural beauty, and its culture will amaze you doubly. Personally, I was there this year, in January. I only rested for a week, but next year I plan to visit again this year, but this time in the warm season. In January it is quite cold in Kemer. At night the temperature can drop to +6C, and during the day it rises to +23°C. The water temperature is quite high and averages as much as +18°C. You will probably be able to buy. There are so many sunny days that I can’t help but rejoice. But the average daylight hours are 9 hours. It rains often, but there is no snow.

I went on a last minute trip out of season, in mid-April (vacations were not given at other times), I chose what was cheaper. The sea by Turkish resort standards is not warm. The water is 17 degrees, no more. Locals don’t particularly swim at this temperature and there are few tourists. I not only swam, but also managed to scuba dive. Out of 10 days, only 2 were cloudy and there was no rain at all. Air - 18-20 degrees. The nature there is simply amazing: sea, mountains, pine trees. Beauty!

The most pleasant weather conditions in Kas are considered to be from May to October. We chose the end of May for our trip. Several days were rainy, and not to say that it was directly hot, on the whole it was normal. The beginning of the tourist season, depending on the weather. The temperature outside the window was +17-20 degrees during the day. When it was raining about +14. In the evening it’s fresh, it’s nice to take a walk before going to bed, the air is clean, the temperature is around +13 degrees.

I was in Belek in February 2024 and I can say that this is not the best time to visit this resort. The weather was quite cool and changeable, sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy, sometimes rainy. The air temperature ranged from 10 to 18 degrees, and the water temperature was only 17 degrees. It was cold to swim in the sea, and there were few people on the beach. Most hotels operated during the winter season, so many services and entertainment were unavailable or limited. On the other hand, February was a good month for excursions and sightseeing. I visited the ancient city of Mira, the Church of St. Nicholas and the sunken island of Kekova. It was very interesting and educational. I also enjoyed the Turkish bath and the pirate yacht. It was fun and relaxing. I got to know the local culture and cuisine, which I really enjoyed.

The decision to go was spontaneous: several days off plus the March holidays and it turned out to be a week of vacation. The agency suggested Turkey, Kusadasi, because... we were looking for something without the heat. This is not the time for a beach holiday. The sea is cold, only 15°. We were going for a change of scenery, for a reboot. From this point of view, we were lucky with the weather. During the day the temperature was comfortable - 15-19°. We walked a lot and visited Bird Island. In the evening it became cooler, about 10°. Leather jackets were clearly not out of place. The rain caught us only on the last day, and it didn’t last long. We were pleased with the trip - we got what we came for.

I vacationed with my friend and my son in Turkey, in the city of Cappadocia, which is attractive to diverse tourists, in the month of March. We chose this city because... We consider it quite attractive due to its historicity; it is quite an ancient city with an interesting landscape. We visited it in March, since the season is just beginning and as they say “less people, more oxygen”, what I mean is that there are not so many people yet, there is more choice of accommodation and everything else. Yes, of course the weather is not hot like in the summer , but you won’t faint from the heat either. The temperature remained 11 degrees during the day, 2 at night, and it rained only once. Great time to go on excursions, especially the hot air balloon ride, that was our main goal. I think, in addition to March, you can also return to this city in September to visit the remaining excursions that you didn’t have time to do.
