Where to relax on the sea in October in Turkey, tourists who are late to swim in the gentle waves in the high season are interested. Whether there are warm and hospitable places on the coast, or the swimming season is over, it rains everywhere. But in the middle of autumn it is still comfortable in the country, and the sea is calm and clean. The main stream of vacationers subsided, the prices for rent and food decreased slightly. The sun does not burn during the day, but gently warms, so it is comfortable to be on the shore. Those tourists who prefer to combine a beach holiday with a cultural one are doubly lucky: it's nice to see the sights in moderately warm weather.
Alanya
The swimming season in Alanya continues in October. Relaxing by the sea becomes more comfortable: water and air have almost the same temperature (+25 degrees Celsius), when entering the sea there is no feeling of cold. And the sun is no longer scorching, so it's nice to sunbathe. In order to get a uniform golden tan, a minimum of effort is required: the weather itself contributes to this.
At the end of the month it gets cooler: in the daytime up to +25 degrees, and the sea cools down to +22. It is recommended to choose a hotel with a heated pool. Some disappointment is the nightly drop in temperature (up to +17 degrees), but the problem is easily solved if you put on a sweater or jacket.
There are few rainy days in October (2-3 per month), they pass quickly. And then the weather is comfortable again. But the winds can sometimes spoil the mood: the evening streams from the sea are sharp and cool. But rental prices are low: tourists with a limited budget can afford to rent a more expensive hotel. And restaurants are also reacting to the decrease in the number of tourists by lowering the price tag: delicious local dishes are now more affordable. And holidays with children are now easier: the kids are willing to splash in the shallow waters of Alanya, and there is no need to take care that they do not get burned in the sun.

Antalya
At the beginning of the month, Antalya pleases guests with warm, but not hot weather: during the day the temperature stays at +26-28 degrees, sometimes rising to +30, and the sea +24-25 degrees. With such a ratio of water and air temperatures, it is comfortable to swim for both children and adults. In the mornings and evenings the resort is cool: you may need warm clothes. To relax on the beach, a canopy is no longer as necessary as in the high season. But sunscreen is still needed, especially for children.
Rains do not annoy tourists much: basically, they pass at night and only freshen the air. And the daytime sun quickly dries the sand on the beaches. Humidity is higher than in summer, but this helps to quickly and beautifully tan: the skin retains its natural water-salt balance. Visiting excursions in October is more comfortable than in summer: there are few people, the weather is pleasant for sightseeing. And there are more places to visit. This is important if there are children among the travelers.
