Popular Turkish resorts often amaze tourists with their beauty not only in the middle of the summer season, but also in the deep autumn. Many travelers are sure that it is already quite cold on the coasts of the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas at this time, and therefore they do not have the desire to go there. However, the autumn weather on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey can be a pleasant surprise. In addition, at this time you can have an exciting vacation without too much fuss and crowds of vacationers.
Those who decided to relax in November at the sea in Turkey, should choose the right resort place. Many hotel complexes continue to receive guests. Prices are falling rapidly, so the last month of autumn can be a profitable period for spending the best vacation days. Here are the best places to stay in the last month of autumn.
Antalya
The city attracts tourists not only with its well-developed hotel infrastructure, but also with magnificent landscapes, well-groomed beaches and historical sites. In November, the bathing season comes to its logical conclusion, but warm sunny days continue to delight guests of the resort. The majestic slopes of the Toros Mountains protect Antalya from the northern biting winds.
In the first half of the month, the thermometer does not fall below +23°C. The November sun significantly moderates its ardor, but gently warms up those who do not need the standard set of summer entertainment. Comfortable weather allows tourists to enjoy the surrounding scenery, fresh sea air, peace and tranquility.
The azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea are washed by luxurious sandy coastline, surrounded by lush palm trees.
