Turkey has been a favorite vacation spot for our compatriots from the former Soviet republics for several years. Excellent climatic conditions, making vacation possible almost all year round, bright azure of the Mediterranean, amazing stony and sandy beaches, and of course a relatively low price, all this makes the country very attractive for our tourists. Perhaps, you succumbed to the charm of the Turkish coast and want to buy a ticket there. But for vacation planning, you first need to become familiar with when the holiday season begins in Turkey, so that your trip is unforgettable and was not spoiled by bad weather or the cold sea.
When does the season begin in Turkey?
In general, this Asian country attracts tourists throughout the year. Surprisingly, even in winter, you can have a great time and relax here. However, thinking about vacation, it is important to decide for what purpose you want to visit the country. After all, in Turkey you can not only sunbathe, visit its many attractions, but also enjoy skiing, for example, in the resort of Uludag, Kayseri or Palandoken.
In general, the swimming season in Turkey begins in the spring, that is, from April to July. It is at this time on the coasts of the Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea is set beautiful sunny weather. The temperature reaches 25 ° C in the daytime, so the suffering from the summer heat does not threaten at this time. True, the sea is not yet warming up to a comfortable temperature: it is barely 20 ° C. But if you want to buy a tan and lie on the beach, this time is the best fit. Moreover, in the territories of hotels there are full pools with heated water.
The height of the swimming season in Turkey
The peak of the beach season in Turkey falls on July-August. Despite the exhausting heat, which does not release even at night, the hotels and beaches of the coast are crowded with people. At night, the thermometer's column rarely falls below 30 degrees, and the seawater warms up to 24-29 degrees. Rest during the holiday season in Turkey suits healthy young people, but patients with cardiovascular pathologies and tourists with children should plan their vacation in late spring or fall.
But a real present can be a velvet season in Turkey, which begins in mid-September and lasts until mid-October. Favorable weather (at this time the temperature reaches 25 degrees in the daytime), the affectionate sun, beautiful even tan, the absence of a large number of holidaymakers - this is what makes the Turkish autumn happy to come to the sea. But because of the unpredictability of the weather at this time, we recommend taking warm clothes, just in case.
End of the season in Turkey
The arrival of the second decade of October and the month will mark the closure of the season in Turkey. In many hotels, the number of attendants is significantly reduced, animators are dispersed, some shops and entertainment complexes are closed. Yes, and weather conditions at this time do not have to rest - the season begins
But in winter time in a hospitable country you can have a great rest, though not on the beach, but on the slopes on the mountain slopes. The season of ski resorts in Turkey lasts 120 days, namely from December 20 to March 20. I am glad that, despite the relative youth of ski tourism, winter sports here are developed quite well.
