The Mediterranean Sea in the Alanya region - +21 - + 23C in mid-May. Everyone swims, including children)) The air temperature is also quite comfortable - there is no sweltering heat (although I feel hot during the day). T-shirts and shorts are enough for the evening.

It was cold in Turkey (Alania) in the middle of May! In the evening, wearing a jacket and a sweater was uncomfortable! We didn't even think about swimming! Why are we, Siberians, hardened, and then few dared to climb into the water! Although the locals shout that it doesn’t happen year after year! And, sure! I remember how they froze in September 2014 in Antalya!

I love Turkey in May, I was twice in mid-May in Kemer and even once in early May in Cesme (Aegean Sea). In Kemer, the water after May 15 is 23-25 degrees, in Cheshme, of course, it is colder - 20-22 degrees. But for me it’s the best thing to jump into cool water from the heat.
The main thing is not to run into cloudy weather and rains like Kolhoznic, but in the Mediterranean Sea in the second half of May they are not so frequent.

every year, since 2005, I have been resting in Alanya since May 10 - it is very warm during the day and in the evening, it is pleasant to swim in the sea ... what kind of jackets (?!) and sweaters (?!) are we talking about ??? T-shirts and shorts - no more! at night you can put on a denim jacket as much as possible, and then if you sit, if you walk briskly, it will be hot ...

My husband and I are definitely not a merzlyachka, but it doesn’t happen year after year. We have been going to Turkey for the last 10 years (except 2017) in May from the 18-20th ..... And the temperature in the sea has never been comfortable. My husband and I bathe in the fonts in winter and go into the sea at +18, but this is not swimming, but rather extreme sports, I slipped out of the series and jumped out. In May, of course, the water begins to warm up, but in May 2016 the weather was cool, often cloudy, the evenings were cold and the water was, respectively. Once I plunged, and so they sat in heated pools. Children in May never swam in the sea, they are cold.

For example: in the 2017 season, it was cool in May. My friend has been away with children in Alanya since 25.05 and complained about the weather. In addition to cool water, there are also big waves. On May 19, 2017, a hurricane passed along the entire Antalya coast and it got colder after it. Personal vacation with family in Belek from 3.06.17 to 17.06.17. In the first days, the water temperature in the sea is + 23gr. The further, the warmer. Of course, year after year is not necessary. But it is not logical to expect the temperature of water in the beginning / middle of May, like fresh milk. But it is definitely possible to have an excellent holiday in mid-late May on the Antalya coast, since the air temperature and humidity are very comfortable and easily tolerated.

As for, for example, the Aegean coast (Marmaris, Bodrum), then in the middle of May, I think it's too early for a super comfortable swim. There, the water temperature is on average a couple of degrees lower than in Antai. But, I repeat, year after year is not necessary. It is also necessary to take into account the personal threshold of sensitivity: one bathes with pleasure at + 22 degrees, give another + 25 degrees.

Kolhoznic, you were so unlucky in SEPTEMBER 2014 that you still scare everyone with the beginning and end of the season?

I was from May 10 to 22, 2017 in Alanya... there was no hurricane there! it was hot ... yes, the water in the sea is not fresh milk, + 21C + 22C, but EVERYONE BATHED ... I always have a rest in Alanya to avoid the heat from the second decade of May and from the first or second decade of October ... every year in May it’s even hot for me, the water is normal, I swim ... about October - I was unlucky 2 days in 2014 - there was a hurricane on October 24 or 25. All other years (since 2004) everything was OK.

In May, we chose the Antalya coast, as it is considered the warmest during this period. Even when the weather was sunny, the water never warmed up to a comfortable level on the 20th of May. I have never seen a bunch of adults and children actively swimming in the sea ..... A few adults - yes, but the children were poking around in the sand at most .... But in June 2017 (second half) the water was excellent, we rested in Kemer. Although my son said that this is not the Indian Ocean where the water was 27-28 grams, he swam. The youngest is still only in the pool. I suppose that the water was about 23-24 grams in the sea, otherwise both would have bathed. And this is at the end of June. The water was comfortable for me and my husband, because it was hot and the water refreshed well. But May is good for a holiday anyway. It is not yet so hot, and there are not as many vacationers as in the summer months.

Nicole, May 19, 2017. The hurricane hit the Antalya coast, but of varying intensity to the regions. The local population is well aware of this. Somewhere more, somewhere less. Cool water in Alanya in late May. For me personally, 21g, for example, is cool. In Belek, a hurricane damaged wires on May 19 at the Tui Magic Life Waterward Hotel: power outages and the Internet.

At the beginning of May 2017, a separate acquaintance at Max Royale in Belek. Supercomfortable water temperature was not felt. The children did not jump into the water. The guard was sitting on a top in a jacket on a bike. :)

ollennka, Believe me, when the water is 27 and above, it's very cool. Because t air is much higher, then entering the water of such a temperature you feel very cool. Pulling children out of such water is simply unrealistic, but they don’t freeze in it at all, they swim until the skin on their palms becomes wrinkled :) We go to Turkey only because of the children, where it is possible to choose a high-quality all-inclusive hotel with cool animation, water parks and food for all ages and tastes, and of course, a short direct flight is very important for the youngest .... The older ones fly everywhere with us without any questions, but because of the youngest (4 years old) so far the nearest and direct directions, and from the city of our residence in priority. And this is either Turkey or Egypt.

Last year I went with my family to the coast of Bulgaria, we started swimming, the water was +18, I would not say that it was cold, given that we go to the outdoor pool all year round. Thank you all, I will look after the direction of the Antalya coast then

Cesme water in mid-May 18, 20-22 degrees in early June. It is cold to swim there in May, maybe once in 10 years it was 20 degrees in the water in the sea. Much warmer on the Antalya coast

In Cheshme itself, yes, but there is a gorgeous Ylydzha beach in the village of the same name, a very gentle entry into the sea, the water warms up more, and indeed a paradise place. But the normal season is of course from June, in May it is often overcast and rainy.

According to my experience, Turkey at the beginning of May (it happened 5 times), it doesn’t happen year after year, it is warm and comfortable, but sometimes the water is cool (Kemer district, Beldibi). The sea is much warmer for the velvet season - September, mid-October.

Damn it, Kolhoznic, you need to go to the sauna for the whole vacation, and not to Turkey and Thailand))).

ollennka, you can swim in Thailand. But, not always. Storms and jellyfish do not give! In Vietnam - sometimes you can also swim. When there are no jellyfish, stinging plankton and waves. And in Turkey the season is short - from late June to early August. And not every year the water warms up to plus thirty!

Kolhoznik, no need to generalize! If you are unlucky in some year with the weather, this does not mean at all that this is always the case. It just happens that at the beginning of May the weather is quite hot, and then there is a temperature dip for a couple of weeks. But in the last days of May, the weather is already getting better. This year we rested in Side from May 23 to June 2. Yes, at the beginning it was not hot, especially in the evenings, then a downpour passed, and the temperature went up. The water in the sea was about 22 degrees, for us it is not critical, in its Baltic Sea already at 18 degrees. we start swimming. In autumn, of course, it is warmer than in spring, because. the sea cools down slowly. But the sun sets early, and in October in the evening you have to wear sweaters and jackets.
