Holidays in Turkey in the summer are almost always the sea, the sun, and, unfortunately, the terrible, unbearable heat. What to do if your body does not fundamentally tolerate such a temperature? Only one way out - to go on vacation in the fall. A trip to Kemer in October is a vacation in Turkey without unbearable heat.
Features of the period
One of the most convenient holiday resorts in the fall is Kemer - a city located in the south of Turkey, in the ancient historical region of Lycia. If you do not like the weather too hot, a trip to Kemer in October will be your ideal choice.
The middle of autumn for these parts is the time when the heat subsides, but the weather still remains soft and warm, and you can enjoy the gentle sea without any problems.
Weather
You will enjoy Kemer's special microclimate. Despite the scorching sun, it is always cool and fresh. The average October air temperature in the city during the day is +25 degrees, at night it drops to +13, while depending on the weather it can be cooler or warmer. It is worth taking into account the fact that Kemer is located in the mountains, and this in some way affects the local climate. It is cooler than in more flat regions, and it rains a little more often.
By the way, Kemer in early October usually does not portend bad weather. Long rains for several days are a big exception, and the maximum that you may encounter is small short-term rains that will not greatly interfere with your sunny vacation.
Water temperature
The water in Kemer in October is still warm. The average temperature will fall during the month, usually varying from +27 degrees at the beginning of the month to +24 - at the end. This, of course, is primarily affected by the weather. In October, the water temperature in the local area never dropped below +22 degrees. Everyone knows that +27 is the temperature that is perfect for swimming in the sea.
In October, by the way, it is still far from the end of the beach season - in Turkey it begins in May and ends in December, with the beginning of winter.
sights
If you come to Kemer in October to spend time at parties, then during this period there is no reason to hope for such leisure, since most of the youth have already left the resort. Holidays at this time of year will appeal to those who are looking for tranquility, comfort and a leisurely tour of historical sights. An excellent way out of the situation can be various excursion trips.
Kemer in October, which reviews are simply amazing, is a great opportunity to visit interesting places and learn more about the history of this city. For example, many tourists were surprised by a trip to the mountain called Yanartash. Here, gas vapors come to the surface of the earth, which ignite when they react with air. The mountain also has another name: it is customary to call it Chimera according to legend, which tells of the arsonist monster living in these places. Yanartash is located a few kilometers, not far from Olympos. Vacationers note that excursions by the mountain are paid - their cost is four lira. It is best to go here by car or with a tourist group.
In addition, travelers often get to Olympos, the remains of which attract lovers of antiquity. Once it was a large port city (in the seventh century BC). Today, only ruins remain in its place. However, the remains of Roman baths, the main street, the theater, warehouses and some graves are well preserved. Olympos decided to travel with excursions from Kemer.
Tourists also recommend visiting the Belbidi Cave, which is best reached by taxi or bicycle. To get to it, you need to move from Kemer to the north of the city. Belbidi is sixteen kilometers from it. In the cave, scientists discovered the remains of ancient tools, as well as monuments of cave painting. There is a motorway nearby Belbidi, so you can also get here by bus. Visiting the cave for tourists is completely free.
Another ancient settlement in the historical region of Lycia is the city of Demre. Tourists advise to go here with an excursion group and a guide. It is mandatory to visit the local museum, as well as local historical monuments.
If you are not a fan of such leisure activities or are tired of excursions, you will undoubtedly enjoy the Kemer hammams. This is a traditional type of oriental steam baths, which is also in this resort. Among the advantages of a hammam, tourists call chic baths, body wraps, massage sessions and so on.
