The question, of course, is interesting ... Who knows better than you yourself how well you tolerate the heat?
I personally was comfortable, but I love hot weather. After all, there are also beaches in Antalya, at any time you can go to freshen up.
аватар sne03
ollennka yes, of course, it is clear that everyone endures differently and the weather is different every year. I just want to hear some opinions and draw a conclusion.
аватар ollennka
In the Antalya region, the problem is rather not heat per se, but humidity. This is a very nasty feeling when, literally 15 minutes after a shower, you are covered with a sticky film on the street. And the rest is not so hot, I saw a maximum of +42 in July on a thermometer (in the shade).
I prefer Turkey in May or end of September to be honest...

Went to visit a local friend. It's hard to call it rest. although the heat was the last problem. In buses, dolmush, wherever you go, condos, Taxi is unreasonably expensive. They try on private beaches, but everywhere there is some kind of amateur performance and a mess. I will mournfully keep silent about the city. The city is dirty, although all the façade is ostentatiously painted. You leave a tidy house and walk through cluttered yards with mountains of construction debris. In the rests, it’s somehow miserable, insipid and conveyorized. Only hamams pleased. Recreation for the unpretentious and those who like to surf the unattractive spaces, not counting the old city. As for me, the city is huge and stupid. After five it will be hard. Antalya city of contrasts)
аватар ollennka
On the other hand, why on vacation settle in areas with cluttered yards and garbage? You can find a hotel or even a boarding house in the old town, they are very decent there. It will be clean and beautiful. I can find slums at home, on vacation I want beauty.

Remember the summer of 2010 at home, when all the grass was yellow, withered, and the readings on the thermometers went off scale. This will be the standard Turkish summer. Personally, I barely survived this period, therefore, in the high season, not a foot to Turkey.

In the old city it is even more terrible, it remains to walk strictly along the main streets and God forbid, turn into any courtyard. A friend lives in Konyalti in a new house, the tenants pay for cleaning, this is rather an exception. Beautiful area, but how they know how to spoil everything at once. Even in Lara, cleanliness is fragmentary. The people are like that ... where they go, there they shit. Horde in one word. But I readily believe that someone likes such an exotic
аватар ollennka
klichko, choita You are dramatizing... I am from new residential buildings, however, I only saw the Lara area, nothing scared me there. The old city was also clean, at least in 2015. It's been a long time....
аватар klichko
To visit only in Lara from the series do not go beyond the Champs Elysees. And here people want to roam. She furrowed Antalya up and down, helped her friend with business. Pleasure is below average. But you are right, this is my vision and personal drama)
аватар ollennka
About the Champs Elysees. Sorry, boiled up.
Just returned from Lebanon, went with a friend. She kept buzzing: let's take public transport rather than taxis, let's go into those slums, otherwise we won't feel the color of their real life, etc. etc.
Why the hell did she give up on me, their slum life??? You need to return from vacation on a positive note, with pleasant impressions. I want to see all the most beautiful and delicious that they have, and not the backyards of civilization. Slums are the same in any country in the world.
I understand that you had a forced view of the garbage heaps. But on principle I will not go to look at poverty and vice on vacation, so yes, I’d rather walk along the Champs Elysees, smell flowers and poop marshmallows. I am a girl, after all, and this girl is no longer twenty years old, she has to take care of her nerve cells ...
аватар Igor_m
I propose to "run wild" for real, and not go to Antalya, where in August the soles melt on the asphalt, but go to Cirali, Adrasan, Kas, Kalkan, Gelemysh, Dalyan, etc.
аватар klichko
I lived in a good place, I went by car, but this did not save me from the feeling of general clutter. Heaps appeared in unexpected places and looked like sabotage. In the morning you leave for a clean (relatively) city, in the afternoon a sharp blockage begins, by the evening a mess. For me, Antalya is not a city for life, but a continuous long-range chaos. Ankara lay more on the soul. I will subscribe, no overcoming urban difficulties, only a carefree comfortable stay
About the climate is a separate requiem. Humidity is just deadly, you can’t clear up. It happened in a few minutes the clothes were wet, and the breath was like that of a fish on the shore. Twice with a friend was in May, "lucky" for the rains. There were days when she categorically refused to crawl out from under the condo
аватар sne03
For some reason I thought about city vacations on the seashore. The city is old, there is a lot to see. We love walking around old towns. We spent the last two New Years in Istanbul, we really like it. And we were not only within the radius of Sultan Ahmet. The city is very colorful and the districts are very different: both the rich and the slums. I thought that in the summer it would not be bad to spend time just as interesting, but plus the sea.
аватар klichko
The old city with a gulkin navel, in half a day you can climb everything. The city is sprawling and stupid. City beaches are dirty. Antalya did not lie next to Istanbul
аватар ollennka
sne03, do you want to see Izmir? It will be cooler there, and the sea is half an hour away from the city: Cesme, Kusadasi.
аватар sne03
ollennka no, half an hour drive to the sea is not an option. Let's think about other options.
аватар Natalia1421
By the way, just returned from Kusadasi. Sympathetic town. And yes, in the summer it is clearly more pleasant than Antalya, not so humid, the breeze. The front embankment, and the slums available, boutique hotels and big chain hotels. Ephesus and Selcuk are nearby (7 lira on dolmush). You can rush to Izmir for a change (we really didn’t have time). Car rental hassle-free...
аватар sne03
Natalia1421 the sea is cold on that side. That summer, at the beginning of July, we were in Oludeniz-sea, it was 20 gr., and the year before last, near Fethiye, also in early July, and the same dubak. My husband likes it, he does not like warm water, but I am always cold, tired, I want to splash in warm water.

If my answer to the question "how hard it is to travel around the city in summer in the heat" helps you, I will give an example from my own experience. The case was in 2015. Deciding to abandon the package tour, I bought air tickets to Antalya and back, planned to stay in Turkey for 20 days from the beginning of July. As a result, I could not stand the terrible heat for me and, most importantly, the humidity, like in a sauna - exactly a minute on the street, and the body became wet ((I spat a non-refundable return ticket, and flew to St. Petersburg a week later ... By the way, There I was also waiting for abnormal heat, but that's another story))
аватар iNicole
I forgot to add that before I had a rest in Turkey exclusively from the second decade of May and at the end of September-October ...
аватар sne03
That's why iNicole asked a question here - to read those who survived it :)) Now I understand that we will probably consider a different scenario for the rest.
аватар Mila__
I rested in Antalya itself 2 times in the month of July, I liked it even more than in Kemer, Side or Alanya, as if I had never left Russia there. It's hot, of course, but at this time in the Antalya region it's hot everywhere. I liked the city park, very well-groomed, it's nice to sit in a cafe in the fresh air.
аватар lazy_person
I have vacationed in Antalya twice in the summer. In the hotel "Antalya Adonis" and in the hotel "Porto Bello Hotel Resort & Spa". Yes, it's hot in summer... it's unbearable to walk the streets of the city. I want to sit in the shade, sometimes even unnecessarily, I have to go to a cafe under the air conditioner in order to somehow move away from the city heat. In some cafes, where the tables are outside, cooling gas is sprayed around the perimeter of the cafe .. But, being on the beach, near the sea, you don’t feel it. Even at 40..42 degrees on the beach it is comfortable.
аватар Pachok
Surprising nearby :))) Slums in Kaleici? Yes, everything is doll-like and combed, unless, of course, you don’t drag yourself to the bar street at midnight :)
Antalya is a normal city, no worse and no better than other seaside resort cities. There is nothing special to do there for the whole vacation, of course, 2-3 days on Kaleici, waterfalls and a museum are enough. Wandering there in the heat is pointless.
About the weather - I have been traveling to Turkey for more than 20 years and usually I choose September-October for the Anatolian coast, I don’t like the heat. But there were circumstances that two years in a row - 2017 and 2018 had to be there from mid-June to mid-July. And everything is fine :) Hot, but not deadly. Maybe lucky twice in a row, I don't know.
Z.Y. I join the advice to choose another coast. And even better - take a car and drive from Antalya to Izmir, stopping at different places. It is possible both in hotels and in small boarding houses. 20 degrees of water in July is a strange anomaly :)))
аватар sne03
Pachok in the Marmaris area, the sea is actually much colder. They say that there is an admixture of water from the colder Aegean Sea. Of course, if the bay is warmer.
аватар ollennka
Great idea with the car! The most correct format in Turkey. And the air conditioner will not let you go crazy from the heat.
аватар veritasana
On June 18 ... I remember Antalya ... like a bad dream .. hot and stuffy .. we decided to go to the Oceanarium with a child ...
аватар helena_fortuna
You can, of course, stay in the old town.
There are small hotels and boarding houses. It's hot during the day. But in the evening you will walk.
It is beautiful there.
Every year, at least for a day or two, I visit Antalya. I just love that city.
This year will be no exception.
But, I don't know where I'm going to stop yet.
Another hotel that I liked is Laren Family Hotel & Spa - Boutique Class, despite that, it is located in the Lara area, which I do not like.
But, most likely, anyway, I will choose the old city.
I can't imagine that when I return to the hotel, I won't pass Hadrian's Gate.
аватар Pachok
sne03, I visit both Marmaris and Fethiye, as well as Didim, Bodrum, Kusadasi, there, in general, the Aegean Sea is already there, I also know about its temperature not from the Internet :)))
20 degrees in July is, I repeat, an anomaly. Usually around 25. On the other hand, if you like very warm water, then you really need to go to the Antalya region, there will be 28.
