Turkey has been one of the most popular holiday destinations for Russians for many years. Where for relatively little money you can get enough high-quality relaxation after difficult working months. But, unfortunately, this country is not the place where the warm sea and the sun shine all year round. Therefore, it is very important to know when the season starts in Turkey and when it ends, so that only positive impressions remain from the rest.
This eastern country has a fairly large territory, on which there are several resort areas. In turn, the coast is washed by the waters of three seas - the Black, Aegean and Mediterranean. In the average version, the swimming season in Turkey lasts from April to mid-October.
Mediterranean coast
The most comfortable conditions for recreation are created on the southern coast of the country - the Mediterranean. The climate here is subtropical, and already in April, almost every year, the waterwarms up so that you can safely swim in it. In this region, the season in Turkey lasts the maximum period, sometimes until the end of October. The peak is in July-August, when the air temperature reaches 40 degrees, and the water - 28. During this period, the highest prices for hotels and air tickets are observed. Resort cities on the Mediterranean coast: Antalya, Kemer, Side, Belek.
Vacation on the Aegean Sea
The holiday season in Turkey on the Aegean coast is almost the same as in the south of the country, but still it is cool here in April and October. In summer, the heat can also reach 40 degrees, but in the period from October to April, life stops here, and many hotels simply close due to lack of demand. Bodrum and Marmaris are the main holiday centers in this region.
Black Sea Resorts
The northern part of the country's coastline is the least popular with vacationers. If we talk about such a concept as the season in Turkey, then here it lasts only three months: June, July and August. In principle, the same period of time as on the Black Sea coasts of Ukraine and Russia. The rest of the time the weather is wet and cool. There is only one plus. Holidays on this coast are noticeably cheaper than on others, due to lower demand. So if you are good at timing your vacation, you can save a lot of money.
Turkey - central part
The most famous city in the country is Istanbul, which is located in the northwest of the peninsula, on the coastSea of Marmara, in the zone of continental climate. The main characteristics of this area are arid, hot summers and cold winters. The season in Turkey starts later here than in other regions. You can usually swim in the sea from mid-June until the end of summer. But Istanbul has an undeniable advantage over all other regions - the city has many different attractions, which you can come to see as early as March.
Despite the fact that in recent years, Russians have begun to travel a little less to rest on the resorts of this peninsula and have moved to more exotic places, a significant part remains true to the beaten track. The main thing - do not make a mistake with the rest time and get the most pleasure for your money!
