This is a proper Mediterranean climate with a proper winter, and the difference between here and the Canaries is the whole point. The Taurus mountains behind the coast trap Atlantic weather systems that track across the Mediterranean, and the wet half of the year is genuinely wet — this is one of the rainier stretches of the Turkish coast, not a place that merely cools down. The sea, being enclosed and shallow along the bays, holds its warmth well into the autumn and takes a long time to recover afterwards.
Seasons, prices and the full Dalaman guideLanding in Dalaman
You lose 3 hours flying out. Eastbound is the harder direction to adjust to, because you are asking your body to fall asleep earlier than it wants to. Book an arrival that lets you stay up until local evening rather than napping.
| Airport | DLM, Dalaman. Forty minutes to Fethiye, an hour to Ölüdeniz, two hours to Kalkan and nearly three to Kaş — which is the single most useful fact on this page. A resort transfer is not a short hop here, and the far end of the coast is a long tired drive after a late flight. |
|---|---|
| Currency | Turkish lira. Cards work in hotels, restaurants and larger shops; markets, dolmuş minibuses and beach kiosks want cash. Change money at a döviz office in town rather than at the airport, where the spread is punishing, and expect prices in tourist areas to be quoted in euros or sterling. |
| Language | Turkish. English is spoken throughout the resorts to a high standard — this coast has been receiving British holidaymakers for forty years — and thins quickly once you drive inland. |
