Weather in Alanya in October
If you want to describe it in two (three) words, it’ll something like – the beach season continues. With a significant, however, amendment – stable air temperatures of +30 °C and above should not be expected.
This will cause regret, of course, a not so many people. Since the atmosphere, which regularly heats up to at least +25 °C with an almost complete absence of rain, will suit literally all categories of holidaymakers.
In early October, in Alanya, the daytime air temperature “settles” in the narrow range of +26-28 °C. And not particularly eager to leave it even after sunset.
At night, of course, a little cooler. But mostly because the sun is no longer scorching.
In any case, even after the sunset the air will remain heated up to +21-24 °C. Therefore, a very small proportion of vacationers will wish to throw the lightest blouse on their shoulders. While – unless it gets quite cold – sitting on the seashore, listening to the rustle of the waves and the melody of the wind.
During the day, it’s still a bit dangerous to remain on the beach between noon and 4 pm. Since the sun sometimes bakes incredibly, and you can easily get a heat stroke
Those, who, instead of laying the beach, prefer to walk the streets and explore places of interest are unlikely to encounter sunburn. But we still advise you to remember that in October in the south Turkey the sun scorches very much.
In the evenings it’s especially worth walking a lot. Moreover, city and outdoor tours, unlike many water activities, are also conducted in the off-season. And, by the way, their organizers sufficiently reduce the prices…
Close To November
Trough the third decade, you can expect daytime temperatures dropping into the +20-24 °C range. The night ones will be fluctuate around +20 °C.
In any case, Alanya meets November on a positive note. Watching an azure sky and still warming sun, greeting those who decided in late autumn to get out on seaside holiday in Turkey.
The norm of precipitation is insignificant – about 30-40 mm per mid-month of autumn. And in most cases it’s raining heavily in Alanya at the end of October. Probably, in order not to spoil the existing excellent reputation of the area.

Sea Temperature
It seems a bit too high – it’s hard to cool heated skin when the water area is warmed up to + 27-28 °C. But most holidaymakers are happy and even shocked having such realities, they do not get tired of swimming!
By mid-October, the sea off the coast of Alanya cools down to +25 °C. And by November it’s dropping to +23-24 °C that makes swimming in the sea the lot of not every first traveler.
Don’t agree? Come and see how many people of those lying on the Alanya’s beaches regularly go for a dip.
What to Do in Alanya in October
On hot days, you should devote most of your time to beach vacation. Especially if you come here with young children, for whom all these sights, ruins and natural beauties are not worth even one sand castle.
In the evenings, beach leisure can be diluted with walks along the walls of the fabulously illuminated Alanya fortress. Visually, the most picturesque of those that have survived in Turkey since the Seljuks.
The powerful Red Tower guarding the port and the cable car leading from Cleopatra Beach to the very top of the fortress are rightly considered among the main local attractions. Inevitably magnets attention and the Alanya Archaeological museum.
Quite popular among Turks themselves the museum of Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the Turkish Republic. We will not assume that it’s due to the free entry – it’s always interesting to see the preserved historical interiors, typical for “old time” Alanya.
There is a water park in the resort, but it is good fit only for small kids and their parents
Those with bigger requests must go to the Water Planet Aqua Park, which is located 30 km northwest, on the road to Side. Unfortunately, there are vary reviews about this place some visitors are satisfied – others are angry.
But if you hate to queue for the slides – it’s unlikely in October – the impressions will be quite good.
Where to Go
From the point of view of those who came on vacation for 5-7 days, there are enough places of interest in Alanya.
And in October, you won’t get tired while visiting them.
We would pointed out Dim River and Cave, ruins of the ancient of Siedra, beautiful Sapadera Canyon and the ancient part of the resort Side. The latest keeps many wonderful stories, starting from the era of the colonization of Pamphylia by the Greeks.
We aren’t talking about the amphitheater in Aspendos, considered by many to be among the main “Wonders of The World” in Turkey. And the exquisitely beautiful Köprülü National Park.
The travertine terraces of Pamukkale are almost 370 km away from Alanya. And if you will want to get it, be ready to a whole day trip.
As for Istanbul, only a few vacationers decide to get to it from Alanya’s beaches. After all, such a journey will take 2 days min.
Prices
If you have heard that the cost of holidays in Turkey has increased unpleasantly in recent years, then actual prices in Alanya hotels could surprise you. Well, at least, their autumn versions!
What can you say, for example, about modest but pretty good Cleopatra King Apart, where a family of 3 can stay for a week for € 420? And, by the way, the company of vacationers will not have to crowd – the minimum area of the apartments is 45 m2!
Highly praised in some reviews and the Bayram Apart Hotel. Where 2 people can stay for just € 350 (discounts are very likely cut the price) per week.
As outdoor activities, there are quite cheap in Alanya – especially in autumn. So you will pay less than € 25 for a paragliding experience. And about the same money for a rafting and jeep tour in Köprülü Canyon National Park.
