16 Best All-Inclusive Resorts in Antalya

Antalya is one of Turkey's Mediterranean vacation hot spots.

An international clientele flocks to this seafront city throughout the summer months to laze on a coastline fringed by sweeps of sand and backed by the jagged peaks of the Taurus Mountains.

One of the bonuses of a holiday here is that visitors have both the beach and the tourist attractions and buzzing cultural life of a big city on hand.

Some of Turkey's most famous ancient archaeological sites, including the great theater of Aspendos and the vast city ruins of Perge and Termessos are also within day-tripping distance from the sand.

Map of All-Inclusive Resorts in Antalya

Antalya, Turkey - Climate Chart

The best time to visit Antalya for beach resorts is during the months of June, July, August, and September, which is beach vacation season along Turkey's Mediterranean coastline.

The busiest months at the resorts are July and August when the average daytime temperature is 29 degrees Celsius, with regular peaks of between 33 and 34 degrees. During these two months, there's no need to pack a warmer layer to throw on after dark, as the nighttime average temperature is 27 degrees.

If you prefer fewer crowds on your beach vacation, the months of June and September still bring plenty of warm, sunny weather but are quieter, as they are outside the main school holiday period. The average daytime temperature during both of these months is 25 degrees, but it can still reach up to 31.

Keen swimmers and water sports enthusiasts will probably want to stick to July, August, and September for their beach break, though, as this is when sea temperatures are at their warmest, averaging between 27 and 29 degrees during these months.
