Turkish coastal regions see seasonal decline in summer tourism

As September begins, coastal regions in Turkey are experiencing a transition from the high summer season to a quieter autumn period. In Biga, the intense crowds seen during weekdays and weekends have noticeably decreased. This decline in beach activity is attributed to the end of the holiday period, the upcoming start of the school year, and the return of expatriates to their home countries.

While daytime temperatures remain relatively warm, cooler nights are signaling the approach of autumn. Despite expectations of rising temperatures this weekend, the previous summer density is not expected to return to the shores.

For those seeking to enjoy the sea and sun away from summer crowds, several locations remain popular in September. Destinations such as Datça in Muğla, Bozcaada in Çanakkale, and Kaş in Antalya are noted for maintaining warm sea temperatures while offering a more tranquil atmosphere. Bozcaada specifically attracts visitors in early September for its annual grape harvest festival.
