Can anybody tell me when the official start of the tourist season is in Turkey, Kalkan in particular. We will be renting a villa so it is more a case of making sure all the restaurants and beach clubs are open.
We are looking at going Mar 30th 2013 to April 13th, these dates are pretty much fixed as going during kids Easter holidays.
Many thanks
Hi Kazd, the first holiday flights this year started on May 8th and so, apart from some ex-pats, it is going to be very quiet at the time you intend going. All the same, I will go and ask your question on another Forum to see if I can get more information for you.
The holiday season is normally May to end of October although some of the larger resorts such as Antalya are year round.

Tourist season for pretty much all the resorts in Turkey is 1st May to 31st October. If you go Easter time it will be very quiet as lots of bars and restaurants wont be open. The weather may not be brilliant either and the sea will be freezing!
As promised, I have obtained information for you kazd. The Beach Clubs don't open until the end of April. As for restaurants, there are some that stay open all year and being Easter, a few more are likely to join them.
Thank you for yor responses. May have to re-think then. Having said that maybe could get villa with pool heat.
Are you fixed on Kalkan ? The only area that is seen as all year round is the areas served by flights into Antalya you would be more likely to get a villa over in that area and the weather might be marginally better. Resorts like Side, Belek, Lara Beach etc tend to be in the winter sun brochures as well as summer sun ones. Which makes the likelyhood of restaurants and shops to be open as well to serve any tourists that fancy a change from their hotels.
