Around where the Aegean Sea meets the Mediterranean Sea, you will find the beautiful coastal resort town of Sarigerme, in the southwest of Turkey. Just like the neighbouring resort town of Marmaris, Sarigerme is home to a desirable Mediterranean climate, complete with long hot summers and mild and short winters. With warm weather and sea temperatures all year round, this is a climate that is very favourable for turtles. The waters outside the town are the home of many different species of saltwater turtles!
The town is a beachside haven, so obviously if you want to best utilise this, you should plan your trip in the summer months. However, be warned the summer highs can reach in excess of 40°C and the daily lows in July and August only fall to about 21°C. This may be of concern if you aren't holidaying near the sea. Fortunately, in this resort you've got the Mediterranean Sea at your disposal, so you are never far away from an idyllic refresher!
In the evenings, the town is washed over by the prevailing sea breezes, which result in a fresh, clean feel in the air and a perfect atmosphere for kicking back on the seaside promenades and enjoying some local cuisine and a drink or two.
The resort's beach itself is a beautiful, long, white sandy beach with safe waters to swim in and plenty of activity from the beachside cafés and bars. One thing to remember when visiting is to be sure to pack some mosquito repellent as in the summer months in particular they can become quite the nuisance. So, come prepared if you don't want to ruin your summer body with red bites!
