April in Antalya offers pleasantly warm days, averaging 18–22°C, with longer daylight and fewer crowds than summer. The live forecast above gives the current outlook, but expect a mix of sunshine and short showers, making it a solid month for sightseeing and early-season beach visits.
What’s the weather really like in Antalya in April?
Spring arrives properly, with daytime highs reaching the low 20s °C by late April. Evenings cool to around 12°C, so a light jacket is useful. Sea temperatures hover near 17–18°C, so swimming is possible for the hardy, but most visitors prefer the hotel pool. Rainfall declines through the month: early April can still see a few wet days, while the second half is generally drier and sunnier. It’s a sweet spot for culture and coast without the peak-season heat.
What should I pack and when should I go?
Pack layers: T-shirts, a light jumper or cardigan, a waterproof jacket, and trousers. Sunscreen and a hat are wise for sunny afternoons. Easter often falls in April, bringing a lively local atmosphere and manageable prices – avoid the UK school Easter holidays if you prefer quieter resorts. The end of April sees consistently warmer conditions, ideal for hiking the Lycian Way or exploring ruins like Aspendos.
Is April a good time to visit Antalya?
Yes – it’s one of the best months for combining sightseeing and beach time. Days are warm enough for shorts and swimming, but you avoid the intense heat and throngs of July and August. Prices are also lower outside the Easter peak.
Can you swim in Antalya in April?
The sea is cool at 17°C, so it’s a brisk dip rather than a long wallow. Many coastal hotels heat their pools, making them more comfortable. For proper swimming, aim for late April or early May, when the water warms further.
What to pack for Antalya in April?
Base layers: T-shirts, shorts, jeans, a lightweight jumper, a waterproof jacket. Also bring a swimsuit for sunny days, comfortable walking shoes, and sunscreen. A light scarf can be handy for evenings or covering shoulders at mosques.
