Frequently asked questions about Turkey resorts

Which Turkish resort is best for a first-time visit?

For a first trip to Turkey most travellers recommend Antalya or Side — solid infrastructure, sandy beaches, convenient flights to Antalya Airport (AYT) and plenty of excursions. For somewhere quieter and greener, look at Kemer or Fethiye.

Where in Turkey is the climate best for hypertension or asthma?

For cardiovascular issues the Aegean resorts work well — Bodrum, Çeşme and Kuşadası: dry air, the steady meltemi wind and a low dew point (16–18 °C). For asthma and breathing issues Kemer, Belek and Marmaris are best — pine-eucalyptus air softens attacks. Alanya runs an official speleotherapy programme in Damlataş Cave.

When is the best time to go to Turkey?

The velvet season — May–June and September–October: warm, the sea is around 24–27 °C, without the July humidity. In July–August the Aegean coast is easier to tolerate thanks to the dry meltemi. December–March is low season — most beach hotels are closed.

Which Turkish resort is best for families with children?

Side, Belek and Alanya — gentle sandy entry into the sea, water parks and big all-inclusive hotels. For active families with teenagers — Antalya: aquarium, Tahtalı cable car, dolphinariums and dozens of excursions.

What's the difference between the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts?

The Mediterranean (Antalya, Kemer, Side, Belek, Alanya) has a hot, more humid summer, warm sea from June through October, and a strong all-inclusive infrastructure. The Aegean coast (Bodrum, Çeşme, Kuşadası) has drier air, a steady breeze, a cooler sea, stylish boutique hotels and good wine tourism.
