You don't have to worry about the water temperature. The Mediterranean Sea is cooling slowly. At the end of September, it will be comfortably warm, which cannot be said about the pools. They cool down during the night and heat up by the afternoon. At the end of September, I do not recommend going to the Marmaris area. This is a windy region. It will not be very pleasant to leave the sea, despite the relatively high temperature indicators.
In general, you can go to the Fethiye region (this is the Aegean coast) or choose the Antalya coast. You can see Kemer with the surrounding villages. You can go the other way (Belek, Side). It is better not to choose Alanya, it will be difficult for a child to endure a long journey.
Meals depend on the chosen hotel. In cheap triples, the food is usually appropriate.
It is difficult to advise something without knowing your budget and the number of nights.

There is also the problem of "Turkish" infections. Seasonal viral diseases are not uncommon. Once a child caught the Coxsackie virus, a harmful and contagious thing, and not only he, but many children in the hotel were infected. The virus spreads in the water and floats along the coast.

Nutrition for a child at this age is determined by the level of the hotel. If this is a five, then in any case, something will happen)) Hotels with a lower class may not please you in terms of food for a child. There are few initial data: what does the child already eat, are dairy products needed? Where are you planning to go, which hotel?

I didn’t take risks in your place and didn’t go, especially with a child, it’s not calm there, it used to be far from the resort and now there are disassemblies and explosions in the resort area, I really love this country and the rest there is super but we didn’t take risks. If you still eat good luck! there will be fewer people. and the temperature is lower but not like in Russia. still warmer, see the forecast. take warm clothes. and there are no problems with baby food

That's just with small children, we went to Turkey at the end of September for two weeks - we captured the week of September and the week of October. The water in the sea at that time was about 27-25 degrees. The air temperature was about 29 during the day, the wind could rise in the evening, I had to put on a blouse. Sometimes a thunderstorm could fly - but this phenomenon was short-lived. everything quickly dried out and became warm. Ideally from my point of view at such a time - the coast of Belek, Side, Alanya - it is definitely a few degrees warmer there. In Kemer - due to the proximity of the mountains to the sea - after 16.00-16.30 there is a shadow on the beach (the sun sets behind the mountains), therefore it is very uncomfortable to be on the shore. By the way, an afternoon storm happens very often, somewhere stronger, somewhere weaker, but in the afternoon waves often rise at the end of September. Viruses subside at such a time, this season is "low" - the influx of people is not so big, it becomes cooler, therefore it is easier with this.

With a baby, carefully choose a hotel and read reviews, as a rule, in good hotels there are no problems with food for children - there is a diet menu, and packaged yogurts, children's cereals, there is a blender on the table. Look at the location of supermarkets near your hotel and pharmacies - in these establishments you can buy baby food (jars of purees, juices, cereals, milk formulas, yogurts, even kefir - in Migros it is called "Kefir"). In general, my children fly to Turkey from the age of six months, twice a year - we get only positive emotions. If you are mentally prepared for a trip with a child, then everything will be fine for you and the baby!

helgshnider, Coxsackie virus, like rotaviruses, ka and enetroviruses, do not spread along the coast with sea water. The salinity of the Mediterranean Sea is too high for them, and the concentration in the water is minimal. These viruses are brought by tourists, transmitted by airborne droplets, incl. and through swimming pools (pool chemicals do not kill viruses). At particular risk are hotels with many small children. Because they are the main carriers, communicate in children's clubs, swim in children's pools, where their own specific water and carry around the hotel. For example. most recently there was a rotavirus outbreak in 2 Otium hotels. which are traditionally considered "children's" because of the infrastructure aimed at the younger generation. It is enough for one sick child to visit the kids club. animation, children's pool, chat with other children - and the virus can spread quickly.

nata-80988315569, you don’t have to worry about T water - the sea is relatively "warm" even in winter on the Antalya coast - it gradually cools down to + 17-18 and does not fall below. And until November there will always be legal +26. Minus: there may already be storms. Air = warm during the day. At night, T drops to +20, and in the Kemer region, due to the proximity of the mountains, the nights are always a little cooler. But it's always warm during the day. As for food, just choose a good hotel that has a children's menu for children under the age of 4 (because basically the "children's menu" in most hotels means that children after 3-4 can eat years). Definitely pay attention to the quality of the food in the reviews. If it has a good rating among adults, then a 2.5-year-old child will have something acceptable to find. Of course. with a baby of this age, you cannot consider 3 * hotels, and carefully choose budget 4 or 5 *. Do not consider options for "Roulettes". "Fortune", etc. - hotels that are not suitable for kids get there.

xena_pr about the star rating of the hotel: good 4 * now provide much better food than budget 5 *. So with a child it is not necessary to consider only 5 *, because. they are different.

The people, what cans of purees and milk mixtures ???????????? Baby is almost 3 years old! I always chose hotels for my granddaughter sooooo carefully, these were Amary, Boran, Mirada and others like that. But her menu is pasta, cucumbers, corn, apples)))) I don’t eat anything else on vacation) I cook fresh orange myself every day. I don’t know what other children eat, it’s hard to believe that these are vegetable mixtures of broccoli, zucchini and eggplant) you can always feed a child if he’s just not used to eating caviar and mangosteen, and if at least going to a hotel is not the lousiest.

When the child was 5 months old, they chose the Queens Park Tekerova hotel, now we rest with children only there for several years in a row from the end of September to mid-October. The sea is warm, there is no hell. Excellent children's animation and club. Meals - children's restaurant and menu. Your child is no longer breastfeeding, there will be no problems with nutrition for sure. But, for the record, at your request, they can cook something individually for the child. We are back there this fall.

oh, don't listen to the "experts" a la "I Wouldn't Risk It". Well, I didn’t take the risk - stay at home, go out to Sochi, where all the infection hospitals are overcrowded ...
Fear nothing in Turkey. Our daughter visited Kemer for the first time at 11 months old - everything went perfectly. But of course you need to choose a hotel that is focused on the rest of the kids ... I traditionally advise the Garden Resort Bergamot.

Yes, what kind of pay there .... I'm just guided by personal observations. We were advised this hotel 4 years ago in Teza and since then I have fallen in love with it. It was about the rest with an 11 month old baby. Well, you wouldn’t remember our heated debates)))) Everything went just super. Now my daughter celebrated her 4th birthday directly in Bergamot. And after all, this year the current situation has become a real litmus test for Turkish hotels, you know that. Therefore, I can safely say that Bergamot has passed the test. With glitter. now at the end of September-October they have almost 100% reservations. And a lot of repeat guests. That says something, doesn't it?

Yes, Alexander, I agree with you that this is an indicator of a hotel) but))))) I could not do it like this, every year, in one hotel))))) there are still many interesting places in the world, as well as hotels in Turkey) I was also a fan of Boran, then I decided to compare it with others) and did not regret it! Now, due to circumstances, she changed Turkey to Greece. And believe me, fell in love with this country! For children, the climate is more comfortable there, and for everyone too. And if it is financially possible, I will choose Greece) I am such a "traitor"))))
