Looking ahead to the Christmas holidays with some friends and Turkey has been sticking in my mind as an interesting destination.
I assumed that it would be bone dry and mild, with the rock in perfect condition at this time of year but I started looking at some climate charts for Antalya which seem to indicate otherwise. One shows average December rainfall to be over 200mm, which is more than the average for SW Britain let alone El Chorro or Tenerife...!
Does anyone have experience of Antalya and the surroundings at this time of year? Is it short sharp downpours or prolonged rain? The guides I have read say that winter is a perfect time to go so I'm a bit confused really.
If it is a bit damp, does anyone have any good alternatives for a two week climb and explore trip somewhere in the Med?
