In May, the summer tourist season opens at Turkish resorts
In May, warm spring days are just beginning to please us. And in Turkey at this time, the sun is already not spring-like hot, which allows you to fully enjoy beach holidays. The opening of the tourist season in Turkey falls precisely at the beginning of May. In Antalya, for example, you can swim in the sea even in April, since the temperature at this time is already consistently above 25 degrees, unlike the cities of the country's western coast, which at this time of year are characterized by somewhat cooler weather.
Many sights of Antalya can cause admiration – both the stunning waterfalls, the magnificent mountains, and the Green Canyon. However, the main attraction of this resort city is the sea, which, according to most vacationers, is the best in Turkey. Therefore, Antalya is rightly considered one of the best cities on the southern coast of the country, and a May vacation here guarantees an even tan and pleasant swimming in the sea.
Antalya is the capital of Turkish resorts, so it is full of a wide variety of hotels. The closest to the sea are the most expensive hotels in Antalya, but you can save money by staying a little further from the coast. By the way, many hotels in Antalya offer accommodation at quite reasonable prices, designed to meet the needs of any guest visiting Turkey.
However, any tourist city is suitable for a May vacation in Turkey. After all, on May 5, all of Turkey celebrates a fun and bright spring holiday – Hidyrellez, dedicated to worshiping nature, renewal, and birth. Young girls and women tell fortunes about who will be lucky to get married during the year. You can just watch the fortune-telling of Turkish girls, or you can directly participate in these rituals. The traditional treat at the Hidyrellez festival is young lamb and Turkish sweets.
Spring tours to Turkey are in great demand, so if you want to bask on the beaches of Antalya, visit the historical monuments of Istanbul or Side, admire the picturesque springs of Pamukkale, or watch the colorful regatta in Marmaris. You just need to purchase tours in advance. Before choosing a hotel, it is advisable to read reviews about it, and when booking a tour, you should choose reliable and trusted travel agencies. Then the May holidays in Turkey will become truly unforgettable.
