“Golden Autumn” Takes Hold: Strong Tourism Recovery in Antalya & Alanya

Tourism in Antalya and Alanya is seeing a notable resurgence this autumn, and industry analysts believe the rebound may be sustainable.

In October 2025, Antalya welcomed approximately 2.2 million international visitors. Key markets included Germany (+7.8 %), Russia (+12.3 %) and the UK.

In Alanya, the autumn tourism trend is strengthening: thanks to favourable weather, sea still warm, and more attractive prices, September–October is being referred to as the “golden autumn”.

Tour operators remark that travellers are increasingly opting for autumn over peak-summer trips, avoiding higher costs and crowds. This shift may lengthen the tourism season and make it more resilient.

Local authorities and tourism stakeholders are discussing strategies to capitalise: enhanced offerings, diversified products and positioning the region as a year-round destination.
