bad! May 29 to June 4 in 2023, we had 2 mornings and 1 afternoon sunshine,for the rest rain.
OliviaSunny days, clear skies, almost no clouds. Of course it was hot - about 35°C every day, but thanks to the proximity to the sea, the heat was bearable. Best experience!
EsméeWe were able to enjoy plenty of sunshine during the day, but it did get a little cooler in the evening. A few rainy days, but generally good weather.
JoelleSometimes rainy days, but generally good weather to enjoy the beaches and sights.
JochemInland snow offers real winter sports opportunities.
Jeroen SchraderThe sun shone almost every day and it was pleasantly warm, which was ideal for both relaxing on the beach and sightseeing. Ideal sunny 5-star location!
CecileThe temperature is hot, perfect for beach days. High UV levels require protection. Sun from morning to night!
MaxAlthough it was not warm enough for a beach day, there were plenty of sunny days with a cool breeze.
ElineA good combination of sunny and cloudy days. Ideal for a sunny winter vacation.
LianneThe weather in Turkey in June was perfect! Full of sunshine, blue skies and temperatures around 30 degrees. It was great for sunbathing during the day and pleasant enough to dine outside in the evening. Very pleased with the climate!
ElbertDuring the day it was sunny and warm, but at night it cooled off considerably. A light jacket is handy for the evenings.
Dirk OosterbroekDuring the day it was sunny and nice and warm, while the evenings were pleasantly cool. There was almost no rain. In short, ideal vacation weather.
mirjamlovely warm, fresh breeze. Early dark
AstridI live here and in July August too hot for that and then lovely warm and in winter it can be cold but not as cold as Holland. Sun shines with regularity in winter only in the evening it is very chilly to cold, lasts on average 2.5 months. After that it gets warm again. April does what it wants so also in Turkey.
Carlotte HuijsSun, sun, sun :)
