Antalya in September
Great time to visit
September offers the best of both worlds — summer's warm sea temperatures with more comfortable air temperatures for exploring. Crowds thin slightly while weather conditions remain nearly perfect.
Weather
September brings welcome relief as temperatures drop back to comfortable levels while keeping the summer's dry conditions. The sea reaches its annual warmest at 26°C, and humidity decreases noticeably. You'll still get 11+ hours of daylight for activities.

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.
