Can you swim in the sea in August?
At 28 °C the sea is bath-warm; to cool off, an afternoon boat trip to open-water coves works better than the beach. When the meltemi blows hard, Ölüdeniz can get choppy.
What to pack
As for July: the lightest clothes, factor 50+ sunscreen, a hat and constant water. Air-conditioned accommodation is a necessity this month, not a luxury.
What to do in the region in August
The region is at its most crowded: beaches, boats and restaurants are full. Beach at 7 am, pool or shade at midday, out again after 7 pm is the routine that works. Kaş and Kalkan stay calmer than Fethiye.
