Summer, the beach season in the Antalya region lasts starting from mid-April to the end of October. This is exactly the period during which the bulk of hotels that do not function in winter work. And what to do if the time of your vacation does not fit into this gap, but I still want to relax? Of course, there are a lot of resorts, where the peak of recreation falls at winter, Egypt, Thailand, Maldives and the like. But not all they arrange. One long flight, other high prices for tickets or for other reasons. I will not say that in winter in Antalya is no worse than in the summer, since there will be no full-fledged beach holidays. Much depends on what month you come and most importantly from nature whims, because the main factor is the weather. This year does not cease to delight with its weather conditions. In the summer, it was quite comfortable, and even can be said cool, according to Antalya standards, since the air temperature never exceeded +42 degrees. And now, in spite of the fact that the middle of November, the air warms up to +27 and sea water temperature +24 degrees
(I yesterday, I went to the beach yesterday, 12.11.2015). I must say that tourists, at the moment, resting quite a lot. Apparently still affects the problem with the visit of Egypt, because the tour operators part of tourists were sent to relax in Turkey. Judging by the weather forecast for the next month, such a holiday should not be sorry and they will receive what they dreamed about, namely the hot sun and the warm sea. But do not think about the rest in Antalya in winter, it is a forced measure, many are specially coming here in the winter. Someone for health, when the active sun is contraindicated, and someone just likes this time of year. Most of these tourists arrive from the countries of Europe, especially the northern part of it, since the temperature of the sea here, even in the coldest month of February, does not fall below +17. For them, this is an excellent indicator, if compared with the Baltic or Northern Seas. And the air when the street is not cloudy, sometimes comes to +22 degrees.
I repeatedly witnessed when I came to the beach of Konyaalti to glorify that tourists in clear weather not only sunbathe, but even use the cream from the Sun, especially in March.
I must say that many people come to Antalya and other resorts located on this coast, during the Christmas and New Year holidays. This is preparing not only in hotels that function all year round. Despite the fact that the Turks, practically, do not celebrate the New Year, there are many events in Antalya itself on this occasion of both cultural and entertainment. First of all, from the fact that at this time there are many tourists here, and in addition, a large number of citizens from Russia and other countries live in Antalya, not only the CIS, but also in Europe. I note the fact that only in Antalya, more than fifty thousand Russian and Russian-speaking people from the former Soviet Union officially live officially. In fact, this figure is much higher.
What you can do in winter, except for swimming in the sea, in good weather. The choice, even compared to the summer months, is very not meager. First, it is an inspection of Antalya's sights. I note that a walk through the old town, where the main historical monuments are located, in winter it is much nicer than in the exhausting summer heat. I will not describe these objects now, because a lot in other topics are told about them. You can go down to the yacht port in Calekov and make a small sea walk on the yacht (of course if the sea is calm).
Shopping lovers will receive a lot of pleasure from visiting small shops and large shopping centers as the Migros 5m, Mark Antalya, Terra City and others, which are a lot in Antalya. It must be said that the winter period is the time when a large number of shares on discounts and sales of various goods, including things. You can, literally for a penny, to buy something that in the summer it is not very cheap.
Almost all cultural and entertainment places in winter work in the usual mode (with the exception of the "water park", which is closed at that time). You can visit the Aquarium, Aktur Park Amusement Park, Antalya Archaeological Museum and Others, no less interesting places. Especially for fishing lovers, I will say that the fish is well caught at this time, which in winter comes closer to the shore, and you can fish right on the beach of Konyaalti. The benefit of the rest at this time is not much and no one will interfere with you. It is fishermen, basic visitors to the beach.
A few words about where you can stay for living during rest. Many now prefer independent trips and for this reason choose apartments in the private sector, which are specially designed for recreation and rental. The choice of their rather large and prices depend on many factors. As for hotels, I can advise Porto Bello Hotel Resort & Spa 5 *,
Which is located on the first line of Konyaalti Beach. In winter, there are always many holidaymakers in it, quite decent and comfortable.
If you do not intend to swim in the sea, you can take a look at something from hotels that are located in the Calecuchi area (Old Town). I want to say that there are quite a few guesthouses, which will cost much lower than the price than hotels. Many of them are located in buildings that are not one hundred years old and there is their own charm. Especially many of them in the place where walkways leading from the historic center to Marina (yachts port).
As a rule, the first floors occupy various shops, and the rooms of small hotels and guest houses are located above them. Over the past few decades, accommodation in this historic district enjoys great popularity among tourists from Europe and Turkish citizens who came to rest in Antalya from other provinces of the country.
According to statistics, it is believed that on the Antalya coast of three hundred days a year, so at any time of the year you will meet the friendly sun, evergreen plants and the beautiful Mediterranean Sea.
