Which resort in Turkey should you choose?

The season in Turkey lasts from May to October. The ideal time to plan a beach holiday is June or September. During the day, temperatures here reach 30 degrees Celsius, dropping to 20 at night. The water temperature remains around 25 degrees. We do not recommend visiting with children in August, as the heat is unbearable and you will need to cool down in various ways. If you decide to travel to Turkey in the summer, it's better to prefer the Bodrum resort.

It's best to visit the local beaches before 11 AM and after 4 PM when the sun is weakest. During the midday hours, it's better to relax in your hotel room. Many people also vacation in Turkey during the winter, for example, in November. The cost of rooms in good hotels during this time is very reasonable.
