Where is the climate warmer? Country Weather

Where it will be warmer, in Turkey or Tunisia, depends on the season: if in the first season you can open the beach in mid-April, then in the second during this period it is rainy. But comfortable weather holds in Tunisia until the end of October – when Turkey no longer wants to undress to swimsuit.

?? Tunisia is subtropics + desert, sand, rocks and date palm trees. In the summer, to put it mildly, the heat.

This beach holiday is possible in May and September-October: lack of humidity gives a mild pleasant climate.

In winter, warm enough, + 20 ° C are quite real – on the beaches sunbathe Germans and French (do not climb into the water).

February-April: an opportunity to be the first to taste local delicacies: olive oil, strawberries, artichokes, citrus.

?? The climate of Turkey is continental and subtropical. Winter here Do not sunbathe, but from December to April, you can ride a mountain skiing.

Due to the mountains, higher humidity and thicker vegetation.

Start swimming in May and end in October, completely water warming up by June.

In the summer (July-August) here is also a “gas chamber”, but more humid, rather than burning hot, like in Tunisia.

A series of comparisons: Turkey or Greece? Cyprus or Turkey?

Beach holidays and the sea

?? The beaches of Tunisia delight gently sloping entrance and powdery white sand – there is no such thing in Turkey!

The resort area stretches from the city of Hammamet to the island of Djerba. The best beaches are in Mahdia or Nabela.

It is dirty in Sousse – near the port (besides, in July-August the sea jellyfish are overrun); on Djerba, Mahdie and Hammamet – pure and not nasty algae.

?? Turkey is more variable: there are bays, sandy beaches and pebbly, the sea is clean enough.

The most picturesque and lush resorts: Marmaris, located at the confluence of the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean, Bodrum, Kemer, Fethiye, Side.

By the way, in the resorts of the Black Sea and Aegean coast cooler, you can swim from the end of June (Bodrum, Marmaris).

Sights and entertainment

?? Tunisia is a former French colony, and the service here is very much comme il faut, especially in the spa direction.

Nightlife: Sousse, Hammamet. Keepers of the underwater world: Tabarka, Midoun, Djerba, Mahdia.

?? Entertainment in hotels in Turkey suggest that you do not want to leave them once again.

Kitchen and food. Where is the all inclusive system better?

Tour to Turkey a priori involves the buffet, imaginable and incredible drinks and suitable food for any European stomach, whether it’s fries or seafood sauce.

In hotels in Tunisia, the all inclusive system is modest, alcohol is not round-the-clock, and pork in a plate you will not meet. In many hotels – continental breakfast. Budget tours are often based. on half board (breakfast and lunch / dinner) – all inclusive, nevertheless, remained in Turkey (not counting the more stellar hotels). Muslim principles here surprisingly get along with European: so, the liberal attitude towards alcohol even gave birth to local wine festival.
