Beautiful weather in May, there is still no sweltering heat, but it is already warm around +30 during the day and you can sunbathe and the sea temperature will depend on the rest period, the beginning of May or the end of May, and whether March-April will be warm or cold
Many families with children have a rest in May at all popular Turkish resorts

In general, I consider the second half of May to be the best holiday period for Turkey. The air is already 27-30, and the water still has not lost its invigorating properties. It is absolutely possible and necessary to travel with children.

If we consider May as a beach, or rather, a bathing month, then I would abstain. For me, the May sea is cold even at the end of the month.

We often rested in Turkey at the end of May with the transition to June, and my children did not swim in the sea. Cold water for them. Therefore, we always took a hotel with heated pools. And my husband and I periodically ran into the sea and took turns dipping. And May is not May. I remember cloudy weather and water 18 degrees and it was at the very end of May, but it happened once and for a long time, mostly the weather was great. Who would not say anything, but the sea for children (and some heat-loving adults) is still not very bathable. I plunged into +9, but in order to swim and not climb out of the water with blue lips, the water should be at least more than 20 degrees, but preferably 23 and above. If the hotel has heated pools, then you can go from the beginning of May. Such, for example, long beach and harmony. There are questions to the hotel, but at the same time, an excellent children's and adult water park and heated. May is a great choice.

For all our experience, we got in May both on relatively tolerant water and on icy water.
Consider the area of Kemer.

"May is not lower than 24 too" - basically this is not about May in Turkish resorts, except that spring 2022 will be abnormally warm or Cesme resorts where there are thermal springs near the coast and the sea near the coast is definitely higher than +24

rested in Alanya from June 1, 2021. there was no sweltering heat, because. it was late summer, the water was also refreshing. I think for children the month of May is not yet an option.

Vika284 I know that in May and even at the beginning of June +24 the sea is unlikely to be. This I wrote a comfortable temperature for swimming in the sea. And so, usually by the end of May it’s about 20. And then let them decide how much such a temperature regime is acceptable for their family :)

moy_contakt and that's why I write "" not less than 24 May too" - basically it's not about May
except that there will be an abnormally warm spring, there were such rare years when in Bodrum in warm bays on May 9th holidays it was +24, but this is very very rare
There are beaches in Cesme where there are thermal springs in the sea, where the water temperature will definitely be much higher than +24. As for small children who do not need depth or for adults who like to soak in the water, it is very suitable.

Last year in May we rested from 1 to 8 in Side. The weather was great, not a single cloudy day. The sea was about +20°, it was cold for me, my son was swimming, but he is an adult. I swam in the pools. Earlier, when we flew to Turkey in Alanya in May, the weather was also beautiful, and the sea was warmer. Of course, it doesn’t have to be year after year, but I like to relax in May.

Marija628157, the topic of water temperature in the sea is always a topic of debate on this site. :)
I’ll tell you honestly, since 2014 I’ve been away with my family only on the Antalya coast (Kemer, Side, Belek) at times: June, July, August, and September. For me personally, the coldest water in the sea beat in early June. The warmest water hit in early September. Personally, my opinion: a full-fledged swim in the sea, even after the warmest spring, in early and mid-May, again for me personally, seems somehow unrealistic. That's why I don't consider otd. with a child in May on the Antalya coast. If considered, then the end of May, if the main thing is in the department. - a full-fledged beach. Of course, there are pluses in May: the absence of heat and comfortable air temperature, lower pricing than in the season, incomplete occupancy in the hotel, less use of air conditioners, etc.
