Antalya by season

Spring

Spring (April to June) is arguably the perfect time. Days are warm and sunny (20-28°C), wildflowers bloom, and the sea becomes swimmable by late May. Crowds are manageable before the peak summer rush.

  • + Ideal sightseeing weather
  • + Lush, green landscapes
  • + Lower prices and fewer tourists than summer
  • − Sea can be cool in early April
  • − Occasional spring showers

Summer

Summer (July-August) is hot, dry, and bustling. Temperatures regularly hit 34°C+ and the sun is intense. This is peak season for beach holidays, with all resorts and beaches in full swing, and a vibrant nightlife.

  • + Guaranteed hot weather for beach lovers
  • + Warmest sea temperatures
  • + Lively atmosphere and all amenities open
  • − Extreme heat can be exhausting for sightseeing
  • − Highest prices and biggest crowds

Autumn

Autumn (September to November) mirrors spring with pleasant temperatures (mid-20s°C) and warm sea. The summer crowds dissipate, making it excellent for exploring ruins and enjoying outdoor dining in comfort.

  • + Perfect balance of warm weather and smaller crowds
  • + Great for both beaches and cultural trips
  • + Harvest season for fresh local produce
  • − Increased chance of rain in November
  • − Some beach clubs and tourist facilities start to close in late October

Winter

Winter (December-March) is mild (averaging 12°C) but wet. While not for sunbathing, it's a quiet, low-cost time to explore museums and the old town without crowds. The nearby Taurus Mountains offer skiing options.

  • + Lowest prices and fewest tourists
  • + Pleasant for city exploration without heat
  • + Possibility of a day trip to Saklıkent for skiing
  • − Unpredictable and often rainy weather
  • − Too cold for swimming
