Winter Antalya is mild — but not warm. Days swing between 8 °C and 18 °C, with frequent rain December-February. Pack for "European spring" not "Mediterranean summer".
Essentials
- Light waterproof jacket (rain is short but sudden).
- Closed-toe walking shoes (cobblestones in Kaleiçi get slippery).
- Layered tops — T-shirt + cardigan + jacket lets you adapt 10 °C swings.
- Light scarf for evenings — the wind off the sea cools fast after sunset.
Skip
- Shorts unless you are sure of a 18 °C day.
- Sandals/flip-flops — rocks and rain make them impractical.
- Sunscreen above SPF 30 — winter UV is mild.
For the Mercedes
Cars are heated and clean. Carry your wallet, phone and meds in a small bag — easier than digging in the suitcase if there is a stop.
