I find that hard to believe.
Looking back through the records for the last 50 years, i can`t find one october day or night when the temperature dropped that low.

Definately best time to go. New years
Eve in Hisaronu there was a frost on the
car but new years day I sat in the market
eating fresh strawberries wearing a T shirt
Ive even been swimming early january and the
water is still warmer that it gets here!

Last October I do think the nights were colder
than usual the days were warm though

I have neither the time nor the inclination to go into the weather archives- however what I will say is that there was great drop in temperature when the sun set. The climatic difference from September the 15th when we returned to the UK and October the 14th when we returned to Calis was the difference between short sleeves and a warm jacket.

I would really like to go out to Ovacik in winter. It would be great to explore Kaya Koy, Letoon, Tlos, etc etc on a cool winters day, rather than in the heat of the summer, and I should imagine there are some lovely walks around the Ovacik area. I take it we would require additional heating though for the living room and bedroom of an evening!!

Sue,from what I can gather it is sunny and comfortable during the day but chilly at night,suggest continental quilts we are taking over in October.We had c/h installed when we had ours built as We considered being able to use itin winter.We may not get there for this new Year but maybe next.

My friends have a place in ovacik and go for chrismas every year most days were warmish, short sleeves cropped trousers and have spent christmas day picnicking on the beach with a turkish family.
They love walking and trevor has walk to the top of Babadag this year took about 9hrs I believe.
I was there in Feb a couple of years ago and it was lovely and sunny in olu deniz but as soon as that sun goes down you certainly feel the cold, I think a lot of it has to do with not being able to walk straight into centrally heated buildings like we are used to.

Hi all, may thanks for your feedback. I would stil prefer Turkey for Xmas & New, just the hills/mountains views, sunrise & sunset... cant wait, not forgetting the No larger louts. Could you please advise of any cheap flights from Bham or Manchester, thanks again Bim

Remember to bring your rain-coats,as it rains like you would never believe,(spelt it correctly this time!)
air is a lot cleaner/clearer as rain keeps the dust down,LOL.
