Turkey's resorts occupy a special place among tourist "targets". Thanks to the huge variety of holiday destinations in the country, everyone will find an option to their taste, regardless of the time of year. From picturesque beaches to historical sites, from a vibrant nightlife to beautiful mountains - such an abundance of holiday options delights travelers. But the most beloved of them is the seaside!
Comfortable months for a holiday in Turkey by the sea are the period from April to October. But do not be afraid of rainy and cool days, because you can get new bright impressions in any weather.
Rainy season on the coasts: when you can get bad weather
Like in any other country, Turkey has its own seasonal features, including the rainy season.
Autumn
At the beginning of autumn, a period of light rains begins on the coasts of Turkey. September is the time when precipitation is still rare, and the sea remains warm for swimming. By mid-October, the amount of precipitation increases slightly. Despite this, the autumn season attracts those who prefer a more relaxing holiday and want to avoid large crowds of tourists. But November is the month when the rainy season begins in Turkey. That is, there are more cloudy days.
Winter
In winter, the rains become more intense, and the rainiest months are December and February. However, even during periods of high humidity, Turkey does not lose its appeal. Many resorts in the southern regions offer various alternative entertainment, such as visiting historical sites, national parks or thermal springs. Therefore, the rainy season can add a touch of romance to your trip. This can be a Turkish holiday for only a couple of months, that is, exactly as long as the rainy season in Turkey lasts.
Spring
Spring brings with it a gradual decrease in precipitation. March and April can still be a little rainy, but by the end of April, sunny weather sets in. This period is considered one of the best for visiting seaside resorts, as the weather becomes comfortable and nature comes to life. From mid-May, you can freely swim in the sea. The water temperature at the end of spring will be especially pleasant in the south of the country - on the Antalya and Alanya coasts.
Summer
The time of maximum sunny days and minimum rainfall. Summer is the most popular season for visiting coastal resorts, when the sea is warm and almost always ideal for swimming. Summer rains are rare and usually short-lived. It is in June-August that Turkey attracts the most travelers who love hot and sunny weather.
Thus, we can conclude that the concept of "bad months for a holiday in Turkey" does not exist. Each season is good in its own way and is suitable for different activities and types of vacations.
