Your passport needs at least 150 days left on it when you arrive. Check entry rules and the latest travel advice on GOV.UK before you book.
Temperatures are the average daytime high in °C.
May, June, September and October are the best months, hot and sunny with a warm sea. July and August are very hot, often around 34°C, and the resorts are busy. The season runs late, and October is still warm enough for the beach. Winter is mild but rainy, and many resorts close.
Ottoman houses, boutique hotels and Hadrian's Gate inside the old walls above the harbour.
Konyaaltı is long and pebbly with mountain views. Lara has fine sand and big resorts.
A river tumbles straight into the sea from a cliff. Boat trips go to see it from below.
Statues and treasures from Perge and other ancient cities nearby.
A Roman city and one of the best-preserved Roman theatres anywhere, a short drive away.
A cable car rises to the top of Mount Tahtalı, more than 2,300 metres above the sea.
Kaleiçi suits a city and culture trip. Lara and Belek are known for all-inclusive resorts. Side and Kemer are nearby beach towns.

July and August are very hot. Many people prefer May, June, September or October.
About four hours from most UK airports.
