about where to rest, opinions will be different, so I will personally say my own. I would go to Kemer. Mountains, air, beautiful nature and all that. The weather will be different, you can get in the rain, you won’t swim, so the hotel should have a heated pool. You can see the tour of Mira-Kekovo-Demre, where the church of St. Nicholas the Saint, Pamukkale with Cleopatra's pool. By the way, these excursions are the closest to visit from Kemer. Then there is fishing, rafting and a number of other excursions, which can be found in any Turkish agency or from a hotel guide (but much more expensive).

December is already the ski season, Uludag, Palandoken. You can't swim in the sea anywhere.
And in the 20th of November, I somehow swam in the Alanya region, it was not hot.
And a very good time for any excursions. Almost all of Turkey is an open-air museum, choose what you like best.

Many thanks to everyone who answered and will answer my question! And here's another QUESTION: how much are inexpensive souvenir gifts (well, there are magnets, t-shirts, baseball caps, etc.)?
аватар Zlata28
the weather in November-December is no longer beachy
I advise on excursions: Demre / Mira / Kekovo
by resorts, beautiful in Kemer and Marmaris/Bodrum
IMHO
souvenirs (magnets): the price starts from 1 c.u./piece
аватар Shime
This year was in October.
Magnets 3 lira = 2 bucks
Shawls (pashmina) 10 lira = 5 euro
T-shirts 5 euros
belts with money from 15 lira (7.5 euros)
I wasn't even interested in other souvenirs
аватар abysfinks
There is also a trip to Cappadocia. For 2 days. in the center of Turkey. Unforgettable impressions. Magnets from lira and above, bracelets with rubber bands with eyes for 1 lira - a dozen, a lot of jewelry and souvenirs made in China, which you can buy in Chinese stores in Moscow and cheaper than in the resort areas of Turkey.
аватар abysfinks
And on the market day, you can buy everything for "penny". According to the principle, everything is for 10 (lira). Jeans, bathrobes, all sorts of blouses, 3 T-shirts with Turkish symbols, 2 baseball caps, a pack of shorts...

There will be no rafting in winter, even in October they don’t carry it anymore, a storm can interfere with boat trips, it’s also cool to go to Pamukkale.
Interesting trip to Ephesus.
аватар Foma2222
How much do these tours cost? We're just planning a trip... :)))
аватар abysfinks
Cappadocia in October cost us $100 per person. This is if you buy in street agencies. $ 60 tour itself + 2 dinners, which are not included in the price + went to the same Turkish night.
аватар mikado_an_1970
Ephesus-Pamukkale from Kemer will be far away, and the rest are relatively close. I don’t know, in the winter in Turkey it’s a little peculiar, but it’s probably interesting :)

in November-December there is nothing to do in TURKEY, there are almost no excursions, you can only swim in the indoor heated pool. PENSIONER HOLIDAYS of sanatorium type with paid procedures.
in November-December in EGYPT is great!
And welcome to TURKEY May-October
аватар LANGIS
do not spend money on TURKEY in winter if you dream of a beach holiday. Each resort will operate 3-5 year-round hotels and then at half strength. EXCURSIONS: yachts will not go out to sea soon, it will be cold in PAMUKKALE (we were in May - we froze), there is no rafting, fishing is bred for 70 dollars / person for 1 fish caught on a stick with fishing line + dubious dinner in nature!
TURKEY IS GOOD IN THE RESORT SEASON - since November there is melancholy ... FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TURKEY it is better in May-October. THE BEACH RESORT SEASON IS ENDING.
аватар LyolyaS
it is worth spending money on Turkey in winter if you are not a fan of a beach holiday. To get acquainted with Turkish culture, color, architecture (and for shopping, of course) - Istanbul and Ankara ($2-3 thousand). For lovers of skiing (rather for beginners) - Uludag, Palandoken, Sarykamysh (something about $ 4-5 thousand for two). *prices from Moscow
аватар nika_1306
If I were you, I would go to Egypt, the same money, only the weather is cool and the Red Sea, last year I flew to Kemer from November 13 to 20, it’s cold and you can’t swim in the sea. It’s cool to fly to Turkey, if in the fall, then September and until October 20.
аватар nika_1306
And Kemer is generally a party resort, disco, you will not be bored !!!!!!!!
аватар HAVE_REST
At this time in Turkey, only the excursion is interesting, it is simply amazing !!!! From Ukraine there are tours like "Antique necklace of Turkey" and so on. in the region of 600 dollars + air, with accommodation in hotels 3-4 **
If you want to learn more about Turkey - this is the time - there are few tourists, there is no heat, Turkey is all yours !!!
аватар Foma2222
Thanks to everyone who responded! We also decided to go to Egypt. Therefore, let's go all over again ... :))) Please advise a decent hotel 3-4 * "all inc" in Sharm. And also, how much, again, are the tours?
аватар nika_1306
Look at the Sheraton Sharm Resort 5 * hotel, a large, beautiful area, there are 11 pools in the center of Sharm! In general, Sharm will cost more than Hurghada. Makadi Bay. Pretty hotel! I advise you to visit Luxor, now it costs about 80 USD per person, but it's worth it, SUPER! And of course CAIRO, PYRAMIDS, SUPER, about the same price. camels for a short time, lunch in the desert with Bedouins, hookah and very tasty tea (not hibiscus), about 50 USD. from a person.
аватар nika_1306
Now the prices are a little high, I advise you to go in early December.
аватар LANGIS
my assumptions came true: since mid-October, an inexpensive beach vacation - WELCOME to EGYPT!
аватар LANGIS
Yesterday my daughter returned from ALANYA with friends from UTOPIA: everything is super: weather, territory, sunsets, but there are no evening shows, their animation is 4 invisible people, the food is modest (lamb chicken, 1 time beef, occasionally fish), there are few people, so disco not incendiary. This year, mostly hotels close 10 days earlier ... There are very few excursions. And last year we returned from there on October 28 and the resort life was in full swing there! We observed closed hotels on the way to the airport and believe me, it’s not very pleasant to see the closing of the season in hotels ...
аватар LANGIS
So far, during the crisis, it is desirable to complete the holiday in the resorts of TURKEY before October 10th. I suppose that the opening of the season will be later - the numbers of May 15-20. In TURKEY, it is important that everything in the hotel is already functioning at full capacity
аватар mikado_an_1970
Like yes, but during the crisis in Turkey, you can have a good and cheaper rest on your own :)
аватар LANGIS
tourists for the first time in TURKEY do not need cheaper, but they need comfortable and interesting, but inexpensive! In this case, they asked about a beach holiday + excursions
аватар mikado_an_1970
And who said that alone is uncomfortable and uninteresting!? However, a lot depends on the tourists themselves :) BUT, you are right (and I agree) in November-April in Turkey there is nothing special to do, the weather is clearly not beach ....
аватар Pachok
Well, this year we went to Turkey on our own. If you're interested, I'll tell you how. Both comfortable and interesting. All the difference from rest with an agency is cheaper, more comfortable and better service. They returned on October 17, it was possible to stay longer, the weather is excellent, until October 10, as LANGIS writes, it was not crowded everywhere at all.
аватар Pachok
mikado_an_1970,
