Antalya can rightly be called the most unusual resort. It is surrounded by mountain peaks, dense forest plantations, flower meadows and the sea. The sea in Antalya is clean, the water is clear, which is confirmed by the UNESCO World Organization.
Climatic features of Antalya
The city's coastline is washed by the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, giving it a Mediterranean climate. The warm sun contributes to the growth of lush tropical palms, olive, and citrus trees.
The main features of the climate in the resort:
Winter here is moderately warm and characterized by high humidity. Therefore, in winter, precipitation falls extremely often.
Summer dry and sultry hot. The warm period lasts for about 9 months of the year. The average summer temperature ranges from +27°C...+28°C.
low clouds prevail. Because of this, during the rainy season, an interesting phenomenon-illusion can be observed - it seems that the rain is falling directly from the sky.
The proximity of the Mediterranean Sea to the coastline of Antalya is advantageous for vacationers. The distance from the hotel to the water takes a minimal amount of time.
Water temperature
To enjoy the weekend to the full, you need to choose the right time for the trip. As a rule, the water temperature does not fall below +17°C, and by the end of summer it warms up to +28°C. The best months for swimming in Antalya:
From April to May, the water temperature is +17 °C...+19 °C;
From June to August, temperatures fluctuate between +23°C...+27°C;
From September to October, the water warms up to +24 °C...+26 °C.
As you can see, it is better to visit the resort from late summer to mid-autumn. Water at this time is the most optimal for splashing.
