In the Aegean coast of Turkey, Bodrum recently is one of the most popular resorts and stands in the same row with Marmaris and Kusadasi. The climate in this region is not so hot, as in the Mediterranean coast in the Antalya area, as a result of which the summer season itself is shorter than almost a half or two months.
It begins in mid-May, when the air temperature becomes enough warm for a beach holiday, although the sea is still quite cool and is located in the area of +20 degrees. Of course, it's not entirely comfortable to rest with children, but the plus of this period is lower prices for the tickets, and in the case of individual travel, accommodation in hotels and guesthouses, as well as rental properties. The evenings are cool enough, but since it is a very youth and a party resort, where the life with the onset of the night does not stop, but on the contrary it becomes more busy at the expense of numerous restaurants, discos and nightclubs, we can safely say that coming here to rest during this period , the evenings will not have to blame.
It becomes more hot only in the second half of June, when the air temperature begins to translate for +30, and the sea itself is already suitable for the + 23 + 25 mark, which allows spending more time in water.
The greatest number of tourists is observed in July and August, when the air and water temperature in the sea reaches its maximum. The geographical position of Bodrum is such that there is practically no sudden temperature drops and during these months the air warms up to +30, plus a minus a couple of degrees, and the sea holds within + 25 + 26. It is this time that tourists choose to relax with children, although in my opinion, Bodrum is not the best for this option, especially if children are preschool age for which it is preferable to choose quieter and quiet resorts.
As for excursions that offer local travel agencies, it's probably only a trip to Pamukkale at this time will be a little exhaustive, since there in July and August are quite hot, and those that are associated with the Bodrum region will not be in tennes.
In September, despite the fact that the temperature becomes quite a bit lower than in previous months, the influx of tourists is significantly reduced, especially from the second half of the month. Apparently, this is due to the fact that young people are mostly starting classes in educational institutions. If you certainly decided to visit this resort, but prefer not too noisy and measured rest, then the second half of September, as it is impossible to suit it. And the sea can be said, completely warm and by the end of September, only up to +24 degrees fall. Having young children this period is also quite possible to be viewed as an option for recreation. In addition, prices since mid-September begin to descend, which is undoubtedly a plus for a budgetary and independent rest.
Some prefer to come here in early October, when the prices for accommodation are even lower, but for Bodrum it seems to me risky, as in this region October can be held with the weather. Sudden rain will not only spoil the rest for a while, but also significantly affects the temperature of both air and water in the sea. Therefore, it is better to limit the period from June to September inclusive when the amount of precipitation is minimal.
And it is advisable to book your holiday for previously in July and August, especially when buying a ticket, since during this period when buying in fact, the price can be quite high, or the choice may not be not to be, because the bulk of hotels in Bodrum is designed for Europeans, The ratio of which to the Russians is approximately as in Kemer tourists from Russia to Europeans. By the way, they are trying to go to rest in Bodrum, because Russian tourists are not very much and believe that with Europeans to relax much calmer.
