Antalya

What's the weather like in Antalya in March?

Sitting on Turkey’s south coast, Antalya’s both a popular Mediterranean resort and the gateway to the Turkish Riviera. It has a typical Mediterranean climate of long, hot summers with mild, wet winters. This means that you'll have rising temperatures in March as spring takes hold, while the amount of rain reduces. The Taurus Mountains will give you some protection from wind and rain, sheltering you from cool northern winds and giving you warmer temperatures. If you like cooler weather and fewer crowds, then this is a great time to visit.
