Turkey is one of the most ancient countries with a rich history and distinctive traditions. There are many attractions, interesting structures and beautiful nature. Moreover, this country is famous for its developed industry of beach recreation, which is in demand by residents of different countries.
Length of the beach season in Turkey
The beach season in Turkey begins in May, when the air temperature becomes warm enough for sunbathing and the water gradually begins to warm up. If it was very warm and sunny in April, you can already swim in the Mediterranean in early May. The water temperature at this time usually reaches 20-21 ° C above zero, while the air warms up to 25-27 ° C. Of course, at such a time on Turkish beaches it is better to relax for those who love refreshing and invigorating sea water.
It is better to go to the beaches of Marmaris closer to mid-May, since in the first days of this month the water temperature in the Aegean Sea may be still cool.
In June, the sea warms up to 25 ° C, while the daytime air temperature reaches 30-35 ° C. And at the end of the month it gets even hotter in the resorts of Turkey - this weather persists until the end of summer. There are practically no rainy days in Turkey, but the air humidity remains quite high, especially in the morning.
Throughout September, the water in the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea remains very warm, while the air temperature begins to gradually decrease. This is the best time to relax on Turkish beaches, since there is no longer a strong heat, a pleasant breeze blows in the evening, and swimming in the sea is especially pleasant. In addition, by the end of the month, the hotels no longer have such a crowd of people as in the summer.
The velvet season in Turkey begins in October, the last month of the beach season. Usually, in the first decade, the weather is still good and the sea water remains pleasant enough for swimming, and in the middle and at the end of October, rainy days are much more frequent and a rather cool wind can blow. However, year after year is not necessary - October can please holidaymakers with good weather for the whole month, or, on the contrary, from the first days, drive everyone off the beach with prolonged rains.
In October, it is better to relax in the resorts of Antalya and Alanya, from where the warmth and sun leave in the last turn.
What to see in Turkey
During a beach holiday in Turkey, you can enjoy not only the bright sun and azure water, but also go on excursions. You can visit the mountain springs in Pamukkale, the ancient cities of Ephesus and Mira, go down the mountain river or ride the mountain range on ATVs. In addition, tourists on Marmaris are often offered excursions to the Greek island of Rhodes, and those who are vacationing in Kemer or Alanya - a trip to Israel for a couple of days.
