What's the weather like in Altikum in June
The first month of summer is a wonderful and very popular time to visit Altinkum for those who want summer fun without searing heat, and who don't want to jostle for space on the beach, due to lower crowds experienced at this time. Again, great deals can be found away from the two peak months to come, with lower flight prices on offer, and great accommodation deals.
Temperature
The reason for popularity at this time of year lies in its wonderfully temperate weather, with an average temperature of around 21°C, which can reach as high as 25°C; this is certainly t-shirt and shorts weather, and you will get a wonderful suntan to start off your summer. On top of this, evenings are much warmer, even compared to May, when they began to warm up a little. You can expect an average low of only 17°C, so short sleeves during the evening are possible now, with only a need for a thin cardigan at the very most. By the end of the month you will notice things are much warmer still.
Sunshine Hours
The sun certainly shines in abundance all over this region of Turkey now summer has arrived, and you can expect a huge 13 hours of sunshine on average across the month; this means evenings are shorter and days are much longer a sure sign of summer! It is very unlikely that you will see any rain at all now, which is a common trend across the entire summer months in the resort, and on average you will only see 1mm across the whole months, which affects just 3 days to a tiny amount; so you probably won't even notice it.
Sea Temperature
Of course, with high temperatures and sunshine comes the need to hit the beach, and this is a wonderful time to do just that, when you won't be short on space. The sea temperature now sits at a very warm 22°C, putting swimming, splashing, water-sports, boat trips, and diving right on the agenda. Summer has arrived!
Altikum Hotels for June
All-inclusive is a great way for families to find cheaper deals, without the endless requests for soft drinks, bringing a bill up to epic proportions! Majesty Club Tarhan Beach is a very luxurious choice, with five bars all offering different themes, buffet restaurants, and entertainment. Alternatively, Letoon Hotel is a small all-inclusive choice, great for families. This is a budget option, with three bars and two outdoor pools to enjoy, one dedicated for children. Everything is within close reach, and Wi-Fi is free for all.

This is a cosy apartment block, with a pool perfect for families, as well as offering family-friendly accommodation for those on a budget. June is a relatively quiet time during the peak summer months, and if you don't want your hotel to be packed, this is a great time to visit.
Altikum Beaches for June
Altinkum actually has three beaches, and they are simply called the Main Beach, the Second Beach, and the Third Beach. The Second Beach is located just five minutes' walk from the centre of town, and offers a little respite from the crowds on the main stretch of sand. There are slightly less facilities here, but still plenty of restaurants and cafes offering sun-loungers and parasols, as shade from the increasing temperatures now summer is in full swing. This is a good beach for a little peace and quiet.
Bars and Restaurants
Restaurants around the resort are certainly picking up now summer is in full swing, and you will find entertainment on every corner. Many fun pubs are to be found around Altinkum, which are great for families and couples, such as Ali G Restaurant & Bar, which is certainly a fun night out.
Alternatively, if you want something a little quieter but still with entertainment on offer, check out Penguin Restaurant & Bar for size. This is located on the beach and is a good place to head even just for lunch, offering a pick up service for local hotels.
If you however you want something a little more authentic, with the chance to try some home-cooked Turkish cuisine, then Fatma Baci Restaurant & Bar is a great starting point. Turkish cuisine is renowned for its delicious flavours, and should certainly be tried during a visit to the country.
