What is the weather like in Antalya in November?

Mild and often sunny: days around 21 °C, evenings around 11 °C and about 7 rainy days in the month. The sea is still 20–23 °C, so a swim is possible on warm, calm days, mostly early in the month. November is good for sightseeing and quieter and cheaper than summer, but it is not a guaranteed beach holiday.

November 2026: the UN climate conference COP31 takes place in Antalya from 9 to 20 November (UNFCCC). Expect busier hotels and heavier traffic around the airport, so book early and allow extra time.

Antalya November weather in numbers

Long-term averages for Antalya city (MGM, 1930–2025):

A "rainy day" means at least 1 mm of rain, so most of them still have sunny spells.

Early or late November?

  • Early November: the warmest part of the month and the best chance of a sea swim. Some resort facilities are still open.
  • Late November: more rain and wind and the quietest time. Best for the old town, ancient sites and spa days.

Can you swim in Antalya in November?

On warm, calm days, yes, but the water feels fresh: about 23 °C early in the month, falling to about 20 °C by the end (published averages). On 16 November 2018 the sea at Konyaaltı measured 21.5 °C while people were swimming (CNN Türk).

For a warm swim, choose a hotel with a heated pool and check it is heated on your dates. Two examples, not partners: Akra Antalya in the city (heated indoor pool, about 28 °C in winter) and Regnum Carya in Belek (pool heating from October, heated indoor spa pool).

Is everything open in November?

Antalya city runs all year. Many resort hotels switch to a winter concept around 1 November, with fewer restaurants, less entertainment and outdoor pools that may be unheated or closed. Before you book, ask:

  • Which restaurants and pools will be open on my dates?
  • Is any pool heated?
  • Are the spa and hammam included?
