Reviews with the opinions of tourists about the warmest resort in Turkey are subjective and not always true. Therefore, we propose to study the climatic map of Turkey in order to figure out where to go in April or May, that is, in those months that are considered unsuitable for a beach holiday.
The warmest resort in Turkey in April
Beach in the suburbs of Istanbul
If you think that the most suitable conditions for a great holiday in April are offered by the southernmost resort of the country, Alanya, then you are wrong. In search of warm weather and warm sea, it is worth going to the following cities: Istanbul and Fethiye.
Many don't see Istanbul as a beach destination - and in vain. In April, the air temperature here is a comfortable 25 degrees, and the water in the two seas that wash Istanbul warms up to +20 degrees. However, beaches convenient for taking sea baths are located on the outskirts of the city.
The well-maintained Istanbul beaches of the Sea of Marmara are chosen by tourists with children. Particularly worth paying attention to is the Jaddebostan area, where there are free municipal bathing areas equipped with umbrellas and sun loungers. The water here warms up much faster than on other city beaches, since the sea near the coast is not very deep.
The beaches of the Black Sea can be found in the Sariyer district of Istanbul. The clean and well-maintained beach belonging to the Uzunya Beach Club is very popular with vacationers.
Istanbul as a city for recreation can be recommended to those tourists who plan to see the sights of the former capital of Byzantium and go shopping in between swimming.
The season in Fethiye, located on the Mediterranean Sea, starts at the end of March. The air temperature here is a couple of degrees lower than at the same time in Istanbul, but the water warms up better. Therefore, there are those who want to soak up the cozy sandy beaches of this resort, especially since they are all free and do not belong to specific hotels. On Cleopatra's beach, far out into the sea, some daredevils swim even in winter.
Which resort to go to in May
Kemer
Most tourists in May choose either Istanbul again, where the air temperature reaches 30 degrees, or Kemer, which is considered the warmest resort in Turkey at this time of the year. The air here warms up to 28-30 degrees, and the water - up to 20.
One of the most popular resorts on the Turkish Riviera, Kemer boasts a dry Mediterranean climate. Precipitation is very rare here. Cold air masses trap the Taurus Mountains. By the way, in just 20 minutes in Kemer you can climb the snow-covered Tahtali mountain. This contrast between winter and summer attracts many holidaymakers to the Kemer resort.
The best sandy beaches of Kemer are located in the suburb of Tekirova, just 10 km from the city center. There are few discos and restaurants, but in the immediate vicinity of the hotels there are groves of tangerine trees and pine forests, where it is so pleasant to walk and enjoy the silence. Divers will love the underwater grottoes. The northern region of Kemer called Beldibi is known for pebble beaches and a river, which was chosen by rafters.

In autumn - to Alanya
Finally, in the fall, it is best to go to the southernmost Turkish resort - Alanya. The water there warms up so much that it is suitable for swimming even in October. The weather is mostly sunny, but for walks in the evenings and early morning, it is worth stocking up on windbreakers or sweaters.
Attractions and entertainment on vacation in Alanya
When choosing a hotel, ask about the schedule of its work. Most of the hotels in Alanya are closed for the winter, you need to have time to book a hotel before it closes.
Getting to Alanya is very easy: the nearest international airport to the resort is located in Alanya itself. But even more flights go to Antalya airport. Ticket prices are around $ 300 round trip. The flight takes approximately 3.5 hours.
