Weather in Turkey

Turkey’s climate in the Mediterranean makes it the perfect destination for a beach, activity and watersports holiday. In late spring and early autumn you can soak up the warm, dry days and pleasant evenings in quieter resorts making them a wonderful time of year to visit.

On the other hand, July and August bring long hours of sunshine which makes the days hotter and more humid, so you'll appreciate the beautiful sea breezes coming off the Mediterranean and love the balmy evenings.

Discover the Turkish Riviera

Our Phokaia Beach Resort is located in Foca, on the Turkish Western Aegean Coast, north of Izmir. The Turkish Riviera, known as the ‘Turquoise Coast’ stretches from Izmir on the Western Aegean coast to Antalya on the southeastern Mediterranean coast.

 Very close to the Turkish Aegean coast you will also find a number of Greek islands such as Rhodes, Lesbos, Kos, Samos and Chios for you to explore.
