Türkiye's shores offer summer warmth in the autumn

October is the last time to enjoy the sun, the shores and the sea until next summer. For those of you who missed the chance of a summer holiday, it is time to discover Türkiye's autumn warmth.

If you did not get the chance of a summer holiday, or if you still want to enjoy the sea, this is your last chance to holiday without stifling heat and crowds.

Antalya is Türkiye's most famous tourism centre, as it is known as the area where summer never ends. Antalya's town of Alanya is one of the most popular tourist spots in the autumn. Kaş is one of the best places in Türkiye for scuba diving, with 50 sites including underwater aircraft and ships. The 15-kilometre-long Patara Beach in Antalya, close to Fethiye, is also the Mediterranean's longest beach.

Patara Beach, a true wonder of nature, is surrounded by historic remains and is a truly matchless place to rest. As well as visiting the historic sights in Side in Antalya, it is also an ideal place to enjoy sunbathing and swimming in the clear waters. The canyon set between cedar trees and the Köprü River awaits adventurous spirits wanting to discover unspoiled scenery in Antalya.

Another destination for enjoying the autumn warmth on the Aegean coast is the province of Muğla, with its perfect combination of history, nature and peace. Muğla is famous as much for its calm, peaceful settings waiting to be discovered as for tourist spots such as its crowded beaches and energetic club scene. Muğla, home to the magnificent views and serene, warm beaches at the point where the Aegean and the Mediterranean meet, is home to holiday spots such as Bodrum, Fethiye, Datça, Ölüdeniz and Marmaris.

With its turquoise sea and lively beach, Ölüdeniz is among the favourites, especially when it comes to transport and accommodation options. It is surrounded by many holiday resorts such as Ovacık and Hisarönü. Fethiye is set on the remains of the ancient city of Telmessos and contains many historic sights such as the Tomb of Amyntas and the Telmessos Theatre, where many important Greek plays first appeared. Çalış Beach is considered Fethiye's best beach. The beach is famous in particular for its tourist facilities and water sports.
In Muğla's famous holiday resort, Akyaka is a true hidden gem with its perfect atmosphere suited to an autumn holiday. Akyaka, once a small fishing town surrounded by pine trees in the Gulf of Gökova, is the home of calm holiday spots. Akyaka also offers nature-focused sports and activities such as windsurfing, cycling, kitesurfing, sailing, paragliding, rafting, trekking, horse riding, rock climbing and sea kayaking. İzmir, Türkiye's third-largest city on the Aegean coast, is a famous holiday spot with its perfect waters for swimming and its villages hidden along the shore for resting. In İzmir it is found in the districts of Çeşme, Menderes, Seferihisar, Karaburun and Selçuk. In Çeşme, Türkiye's westernmost point with nine Blue Flag beaches, you will find one of the country's most famous beaches along with numerous marinas, hotels and restaurants.
