We went once for the May holidays. Vodichka will, to put it mildly, invigorate. We mainly went from the end of May (and then, the water was not ice, the children only swam in heated pools, the sea was cold for them) and to a hotel with heated pools (otherwise there is a chance that you will rest without swimming at all). At this time, it’s good for excursions, the surroundings, but now, how will this thing be ..... Turkey has tightened quarantine ....

Statistics on water temperature in May for May Day May 1-5
2018 Kemer +21; Belek +21; Alanya +21.5; Fethiye +21; Marmaris +20-21; Bodrum +20-21; Kusadasi +20
2019 Kemer +19-20; Belek +20; Alanya +20; Fethiye +20; Marmaris +19; Bodrum +19; Kusadasi +18.5

Right now in Antalya in the morning +26, it is very warm, the water temperature in the sea is +19-20, some tourists are swimming. It is a little cooler in Bodrum and Marmaris, no matter how much I love the Aegean region, the spring of 2021 was colder here and it is better to choose the Antalya region for May.
Keep in mind the pan-Turkish lockdown which starts from April 29 to May 17.
We are now changing trying to change tickets to leave Turkey

Turkey is big, in which place is the sea of ​​interest? I once went to Cheshme for May holidays, in the village of Ylydzha the water is super, there is a shallow bottom. But the weather is unstable, it rains every other day. What other options do you have besides Turkey? In normal times, I would not fly to Turkey for May holidays, but are there many options now? If there is something better, fly to another country, if not, forget about the weather and rest at least somewhere.

"You can swim in the sea at the beginning of May."
- Can. And you can swim all year round. Nobody forbids.
"How many degrees of water in the sea?"
- Turkey is washed by several seas with temperatures ranging from 10 to 20 degrees in early May.
"Which is the best place to stay?"
- Who is crazy about snow-capped mountains, who from walking around the metropolis, and who from walking along the coast. Nobody knows better than you.
"Is it worth it to fly to Turkey in May?"
- Of course it's worth it. Not only in May, but in general all year round to fly to Turkey.

ksena-71, of course, is possible in Turkey for the May holidays. The air temperature will be comfortable. But if the main thing for you is a full-fledged bathing in the sea, then Egypt can be considered as an option. Although, I personally looked and looked at hotels in Sharm and Makadi, but, alas, I didn’t come to a final decision ... I let go of the situation and just wait for the summer.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

Well, such a vacation with a cold sea, with tougher quarantine, where restaurants are closed, excursions are not held, some sights are closed. If we go then for the sights, and in the direction of Kurdistan. And swim .. Egypt is from an inexpensive holiday. Well, whether to choose the area of ​​u200bu200bAlanya, there is at least a chance that the sea will be warm ... but this is not accurate).

I'd rather go to Egypt...

About 5-6 years ago we were in Side in the middle of May (I don’t remember the dates from 05 to 16), the weather was normal, there was no rain. During the day they sunbathed, in the evening they sometimes put on a light blouse. The sea was invigorating), 20 degrees, many swam. I can’t stand extreme heat, it was comfortable. If you like roasting straight, it can be uncomfortable. For comparison, I can say that the sea in Side in May was warmer for me than in Bodrum on the 10th-15th of June).
ps In a week we fly to Belek), so we'll see what the weather will be like). In any case, on the sea coast and UAL is better than in Kyiv))

lana_181. Read the official information on the website of the Ukrainian Consulate in Antalya. The lockdown promises that it will not affect tourists, only the local population. Let's see how it goes.

Vika284, you can be smart and argue as much as you like! Me your statistics and numbers to one place. I've been there more than once, so I'm talking about my feelings. According to your answers, it has long been clear that there can be no other than your opinion, and there is nothing more to read. It's already disgusting to read. Feel free to reply to my post! Good luck!

Veronica7081 and? what is it for .. read .. blah blah .. Of course it won’t affect, like in Istanbul, it doesn’t concern the type. but you have to go with the application, and it is asked in many places. where restaurants close after 8. and soon will be after 7 evenings, etc. The same thing will happen on the coasts .. well, maybe take off your masks near the sea, they will still have restrictions. Of course, it is possible to walk in the evenings and you can, but what's the buzz. go to a place where almost everything is closed and even with a cold sea .. I was in the fall - when there was no type of lockdown ... but there were raids on tourists and fines if you go without a mask around the resort town, and at 40 degrees. heat in masks all day long in Ankara for example ... such a pleasure. The easiest way was near the sea .. but then the sea was more than 25 degrees. So of.infa is very different from the real one.

Stasya_99 These are not my personal statistics and the numbers are not mine. These are statistics from several weather informer sites so that everyone understands what the temperature of the water in the sea and air is when they write cold sea and warm sea, cold warm, hot - how to understand if everyone has a different perception of comfort and all people have different feelings, because people different
For many years of answering the truth that there are those for whom +18 sea standards - this tourist with many years of experience in relaxing with his family and children swims in the sea in the Kemer region in early April, there is a tourist for whom the sea in Belek is cool in September 2020, +28 at the end September 2020
My personal opinion is that +24-25 is comfortable for me personally, the temperature of the water in the sea, I definitely know a tourist on the tourist truth, who is also a long-term tourist experience for whom +24-25 is cool and not comfortable.
Everyone is right in their opinion for whom +18 and +27 and +25 and +20 and +30 are comfortable

lana_181. Well, what does "blah ... blah .. blah .." have to do with it. I personally in Side at the end of July 2020, a friend - in September 2020. Well, honestly, no one drove us and there were no "raids". You can beat, and go to Novamol, and Discovery Park in Manavgat, and to the pharmacy, and go on a dolmusha. Yes, we did not go to Antalya. In Istanbul in the fall of 2020, my colleague and friend were treated in a Turkish clinic. The police didn't touch them. It is clear that in public places it is necessary to wear a mask. Well, these are the realities of the quarantine period and not only in Turkey. If the incidence declines, then after May 17, the Turkish authorities will remove the hard lockdown. I, like V, am a lover of the warm sea and full-fledged swimming in it. Therefore, I personally never consider the May holidays for otd. in Turkey.

There was only one time for the May holidays, in 2018, the vicinity of Kemer, and more specifically Beldibi, I was comfortable - the water was warm and the weather was also suitable, although it often rained. But later I was told that the weather was unpredictable at the beginning of May and I was very lucky as May 2018 turned out to be very warm.

Always fly from May 10th. For freezing water, the water is cool, but it depends on the region. Closer to Antalya, the sea is warmer. in Kemer and to the north it is cooler. You can rest.
аватар allaalla1
The weather will be super, even hot, but the sea is cold. Look for a heated pool. Well, we warmed ourselves in the hammam and ran into the sea))))

Vika284, I hope that no offense! Judging by the text, it looks like it's about me. But it was not at the beginning of April, but on the 28th))) And the water in the sea was +20 ° C +22 ° C, but since your mother was resting in some neighboring village during this period of time, you are foaming at the mouth then they proved to me - "THAT THIS CAN'T HAPPEN))) Since according to your statistics, the water in the sea during this period of time a priori cannot be higher than +18 ° C !!!

Turkey is closed until June 1st. From May 1, the PCR test will need to be taken 2 times upon return from any country. There are no exceptions for vaccinated children and children of any age. So consider other avenues.
аватар Konstantin345875
assent5, I have slightly different information on this matter - From May 15, it cancels PCR tests for citizens of Ukraine and 15 other countries, but Russia is not really on this list.

Until what date is the lockdown in Turkey again, who knows? Until June 1st too?

ollenka, lockdown until May 17th.

Veronika7081 and what does Side have to do with it? We are talking about water temperature and restrictions here)) And where I was resting, they drove and tourists went through the fences to their hotels ... So we drove around half of Turkey, but then there was no lockdown! And in general places, you still had to wear masks, and in large cities all the time it was at 40+. The fine if you are without a mask is something around 300 euros. Well, you, too, are talking about the warm sea and I .. so that no one tells us there, at the expense of the warmest sea in Turkey in May, this is not so. It is considered warm from 23 degrees, and anything less is not a warm sea. There is a generally accepted classification. And not to anyone as comfortable in the cold sea))

Konstantin345875 I repeat this is not my statistics, these are statistics from 9 different sites of Russian, Turkish and English weather informers
It's not about you
Let me remind you that I clearly indicated that my mother had a rest in Belek at the Gloria Golf Resort at the end of April and the beginning of May 2019, and your answers were in several branches where I indicated this - I ask you very much without a hatred in the direction where my mother is resting
Since my memory is so bad, I remind you that in that question-answer there were other tourists who answered you
"We just returned, it was sunny and very warm ... But !!! the water is not more than 18 ... I swam, my wife did not :("
"We rested in Kemer from April 28 to May 5. The water was cool"
"We are now in the village of Goynuk. The water in the sea is not higher than 19-20 degrees"
"My daughter is currently resting in the Alva Donna World Palace, the one in the village of Kirish (Kemer). I don’t know what the degrees are there, the water was icy. Even for those who are "knee-deep".)"
аватар Veronika7081
lana_181. Maybe you and I are just mortals. :) According to my feelings, I’ll say that even at the beginning of June in Belek in 2018, for me personally, I had to get vaccinated in order to enter the sea. Yes, then every day the water became warmer and warmer. And leaving after 14 days, the water in the sea was generally cool. My girlfriend beat in Alanya in parallel with the child: she also vaccinated when entering the sea at the end of May 2018. And the warmest water beat for me at the end of August 2016, at the beginning of August 2020, in Side.

Vika284, everyone would be happy to relax in such a "village", as they called "Gloria Golf" in Belek. Premium hotel with appropriate food, service, etc. You can say a dream at today's prices and exchange rate.

If this is true, then in principle I don’t want to get involved in another whore with you. With memory, everything is fine with me, it’s just that some things and details are simply not interesting to me. This concludes our conversation! All the best !

If Turkey tightens quarantine, then why fly there? Swim in the cool sea?
Don't go on excursions.
You can’t walk around the city, markets and shops are closed. Restaurants are open for takeaway.
The only plus is that there are no Russians. Yes, you do not need to take a PLR test.
And what, the prices for tours have fallen? If it is essential, then it is necessary to fly. If only not to return from there with a crown.
