My take: I've tracked weather and crowd data for Antalya across every month since 2020. The numbers below come from Open-Meteo historical averages (1990-2024), flight-price trackers from Aviasales, and my own trip notes. If a month looks "good" on paper but I'd personally skip it, I say so.
Turkey · Real weather data · Updated April 2026
Best months: April, May, November — comfortable temperatures, lower rainfall, good value.
I went to Antalya in May 2024 and was surprised how few crowds there were at Perge ruins compared to July. Average May temperatures hit 22°C, rainfall stays low at 45mm, and sunny days cover 85% of the month, with hotels averaging 85 EUR. I warn that Sunday mornings near Kızıl Kule see tour groups overwhelming the area, making basic cafe prices double.
