to have booked Turkey in May?

Me and DP went to Antalya, Turkey last year. We went alone, last minute, as our children (my DS 13, his DD 5) happened to holiday with their other parent in the same week. We went end of July, weather was glorious but in my opinion, too hot for my very very fair DS and his young DD.
Anyway, getting to the point! We said we were definitely going back to Antalya this year with the children, he left it to me to book when and what hotel etc, apparently I know best eye roll
So I’ve booked a lovely hotel for May half term for us all. DP is a bit apprehensive as although we don’t want too hot for the children, we do want sunbathing/playing in the pool weather! Now I’m doubting myself! Should I have booked later in the year? Is it not hot enough at the end of May? Has anyone been at that time of year and can resssure me?! DP fully admits he left it to me and will happily go with what I’ve booked but says he just assumed i would book it for summer, not May half term.
Any experience would me much appreciated!

I have relatives who retired there and we visit most years, I've been in June and it was really hot, loads of mossies and packed. September is my favourite time to go.

Thanks so much for all the replies, I feel suitably reassured Smile
To the slightly snarky “google” comments, it was google that lead me start this thread. Average highs/lows say several different temperatures across different websites so I was just looking for some personal experience. Thanks so much for all those who have taken the time to post your experiences Flowers

Temperatures are irrelevant.
I will not give money to a racist misogynist homophobic government that locks up journalists in the way Erdogan's does

Thanks for the comments. Real life experiences of temps seem to b a lot hotter than google, glad I asked!

Regularly go to Antalya in April and Nov, always had great weather.
Good temperatures to be active, out and about - and not too debilitatingly hot to stop you doing stuff.

40 that’s I exactly why I started the thread, because the google temperatures made me wobble! Glad you’re reassured too Smile
