There is practically no rain in April, and if there is, then no heavy rainfall. Night showers can only catch on the coast in Alanya or Genik.
The period of spring blossoming of greenery, parks and gardens begins.
April is not the best season for swimming, it rather disposes for leisurely walks and a variety of excursions. April's cool climate is suitable for people who cannot stand the exhausting hot weather, which will be established in a month and a half.
Perhaps, it is in April-May that you can fully enjoy the fresh air, which will be full of aromas of blooming plants and greenery. April is one of the most beautiful seasons in Turkey in terms of natural beauty. If you want to swim and sunbathe a lot, then stay in hotels with indoor pools or in those where the pools are heated.
The influx of tourists increases only towards the end of April, when air and water temperatures are actively beginning to rise. Until the 15th, you can count on a leisurely rest in the still deserted resort towns.
Snorkellers should come to Turkey during the hot summer months.
