Although Turkey is situated in a geographical location where climatic conditions are quite temperate, the diverse nature of the landscape, and the existence in particular of the mountains that run parallel to the coasts, results in significant differences in climatic conditions from one region to the other. While the coastal areas enjoy milder climates, the inland Anatolian plateau experiences extremes of hot summers and cold winters with limited rainfall.

With mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers, the climate in Alanya is typical of any town on the Mediterranean coast. December and January are the wettest months while August is the driest.The area of Alanya is very warm in the summer with temperaturs topping 40 Degrees and in the winter we experience temparartures topping 21 Degrees on a good day ! Another factor to take in is the length of the summer season over here, it is very long in fact the good weather starts towards the end of March and runs through until the end of October/November. This has a huge impact on tourism within this area, which is one of the reasons a few of the resorts prefer to stay open throughout the winter which makes Alanya the only place within Turkey which caters for guests throughout the year.

August is the hottest month with an average of 29 degrees while January is the coldest with an average of only 14 degrees. The temperature in the mountain plateaus is normally 13-14 degrees lower than the temperature in Alanya . In the town night frost is rare and snow is almost never seen. Nevertheless bananas, oranges and vegetables are always planted in places where the cold and the north winds from the mountains cannot reach them.
