Antalya in February
Not the best time
February offers rock-bottom prices and empty attractions, but the weather remains unpredictable. Good for serious history buffs who don't mind trading sunshine for solitude at ancient ruins.
Weather
February stays cool and wet, though slightly warmer than January. Rain comes in bursts rather than steady drizzle, and you might catch a few sunny days between storms. The humidity remains high, making it feel cooler than the actual temperature.

All Months
May through June offers the sweet spot — warm enough for swimming but not hot enough to melt your phone. Temperatures hover around 25-28°C, and the tourist crowds haven't hit full force yet. Hotel prices stay reasonable, and you can actually get a table at good restaurants.
September and October deliver perfect weather for exploring ruins without sweating through your shirt. The sea stays warm from summer, but the crushing heat breaks. This is peak season for anyone over 30 who's learned to avoid July in the Mediterranean.
Winter isn't dead here — temperatures rarely drop below 15°C, and many hotels stay open year-round with reduced rates. You can't swim, but you can explore Perge and Aspendos without competing with tour buses. Just pack a light jacket for evenings.
Avoid July and August unless you enjoy feeling like a rotisserie chicken. Temperatures hit 35°C+ and everyone else had the same vacation idea.
