Kalkan Weather – What to Expect Throughout the Year

Kalkan, Turkey enjoys a long Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. Thanks to its sheltered position between the Taurus Mountains and the sea, it is one of the warmest towns on Turkey’s southern coast.

Spring (March – May)

Spring in Kalkan is a great time for exploring, hiking, and visiting historical sites. Daytime temperatures in March and April range between 15–20°C, with occasional light showers. The region turns lush with blooming wildflowers, making it perfect for walking holidays.
In May, the weather becomes noticeably warmer, with temperatures climbing into the mid to high 20s, signaling the early start of summer.

Summer (June – August)

Kalkan's peak tourist season begins in June, with temperatures typically reaching 30°C or more.
July and August are the hottest months, often exceeding 35°C, especially in the afternoons. The sea is warm and perfect for swimming, and humidity levels can be high. Light clothing, sunscreen, and plenty of hydration are a must.

Autumn (September – October)

Temperatures begin to drop gradually in September, with highs in the mid to high 20s. Nights become more comfortable.
October is an ideal time for sightseeing, as the weather is warm but not oppressive. Interestingly, the sea is warmer in autumn than in spring due to seasonal lag — water retains summer heat into late October.

Winter (November – February)

Kalkan winters are generally mild compared to much of Europe. November and December can still see sunny days with temperatures in the low 20s. Swimming is still possible on warmer days.
January and February tend to be the wettest months, with short, heavy rainfall spells. Nights can be chilly, so warmer clothes are recommended. The town is quieter, with limited services available as many shops, beach clubs, and restaurants take a seasonal break.
