🔵 INTRO March is when Antalya wakes up. The almond blossoms of late February give way to wildflowers pushing up between the fallen columns of ancient cities, the days stretch noticeably longer, and by the end of the month café terraces are full again.

🔵 INTRO February is the month tourists skip and locals quietly enjoy.

But so is the 29°C sea, the electric evening atmosphere, and the feeling of being at the absolute epicentre of Mediterranean summer. Here is what August in Antalya is actually like, from

🔵 INTRO July in Antalya is intense, in the best possible way. The sea hits 28°C, beaches buzz from dawn to midnight, and the city runs at full summer capacity. But with daytime highs of 35 to 38°C, it is also genuinely hot. Is it too much, or exactly what you are after? Here is
