- There will no longer be such a scorching sun that will not allow you to get to the sea at any time of the day or make all the planned excursion trips.
- At this time, you can easily find a suitable hotel with reasonable prices and a range of services.

Weather
Closer to winter, the weather becomes more unpredictable and it is impossible to say with certainty whether the heat will be there, or the cold snap and the rainy season will begin. However, in November, weather conditions can still please vacationers. For most of the month, the country has warm and comfortable weather, and sometimes it is even hot. In this regard, you can take both summer clothes and warmer clothes with you, so as not to sit in your hotel room for most of your vacation.
Even though the weather is colder, be sure to bring sunscreen with you. In the absence of heat, you can also get burned.
The weather during this period does not imply rest on the beaches, but it is great for traveling around the country and visiting all kinds of excursions. Do not rush to take down jackets with you, because here the cold snap occurs moderately, but it is better to take a light jacket. Sometimes there can be cloudy days with rains for several days, but in their absence, you can make trips to the ancient ruins.
If we talk about the temperature regime, then during the day the temperature can reach +25°С, during the cooling period the temperature can drop to 15 °С. The water temperature in different resorts drops to +20°С. For some people who want to have time to swim, this is an excellent temperature.
If you still want to have time to plunge into the sea, then you should choose a vacation – in Alanya, Belek, Side. Here, warm weather conditions last longer, but you should be extremely careful, as there may be large waves. If you are traveling with children, then the hotel’s swimming pool is the best option, where you don’t need to worry about safety.
Ways of entertainment
Even though during the autumn the beach infrastructure is unavailable and many water parks stop working, there are many indoor activities in Turkey where you can have a great time. Several entertainment centers continue to operate in Antalya, where you can relax and have fun with the whole family.
The Land of Legends theme park is open to visitors in Belek. This is an indoor complex where you can find entertainment for both children and adults. Children can relax on carousels, while adults can enjoy roller coasters and rope courses. The whole family can go to the cinema, attend circus performances and watch dolphins at the dolphinarium.
In Antalya, you can introduce your little ones to the life of underwater inhabitants in the aquarium.

It is also recommended to visit the local markets, as before the beginning of winter, local vendors arrange sales of their goods.
