Alanya is one of the warmest places in Turkey, with a long season that stretches from April to November.
Warm from April, with the sea reaching 20°C by late May. Good for the castle, canyons and caves before the heat.
Hot and humid, regularly above 35°C. The sea is bath-warm and the resort is at its busiest and liveliest.
September and October are perfect: hot days, warm sea, cooler evenings and lower prices. Swimming continues into November.
Mild at around 15°C with sunny spells, but many hotels and bars close from November to March.
May, June, September and October give you the heat without the extremes. Families tied to school holidays will find July and August very hot but perfectly set up for it.
