Wonderful place - well, it was where we went which was Olu Deniz. Super friendly people and reasonable prices. It will be hot though when you go. We went at the end of September - before we had kids - and it was hot then. As for being too hot for ickle ones, it depends how ickle I suppose - but keep em covered and they should be OK.

Just one thind, please please please don't come back wearing all the fake designer clothes that are on sale in the markets there, You'll just look crap

Never been to Turkey but someone I know went in July last year.

Said it was beyond hot (if you can get such a thing) and the heat felt like it was pressing you down and crushing you

We went to Alanya in October and it was still scorching hot. It was beautiful and one of the best holidays we've ever had.

i think that is where we are going.. o dear.. perhaps we'd better not go then if it is that hot :/

My daughter was 4 when we went. If we were on the beach we always sat her under a really big parasol......but I am being honest with you that it was a scorcher even in October. My mum and dad have been at that time of year every year and it's always been the same.

I love Turkey and the Turks are so friendly ! the foods the best ever if you find a nice restaurant or cafe !
Its is awful hot though and I would be sure to pack Imodeum just to be on the safe side .

that is when we are goin. only for a week though. how did your baby handle it? although i suppose its slightly easier to keep a 5 month old outta the sun

he was absolutely fine... we kept him directly out of it but we were outside all the time and he never murmured once..we are going toCyprus soon though and as long as i keep his head covered and well creamed he will be fine!!

thanks swfc.. we were going to go to cyprus but figured it would be too hot.. then for some strange reason decided on turkey instead

...anyways.. thanks everyone X

been once found it very pleasant and warm. went to Andrassan which is in the sticks.
fantastic beaches & food, and most of the people much like the Greeks do like children.
just returned from Egypt @120 degrees, protection is the key.

(do you not find it strange that on holiday it's okay for men to fawn over your children but back home you'd have them locked up .)
