Averages for Sarigerme in August

August remains incredibly warm in Sarigerme, and as such it is a very popular time of year to visit, being overrun with sun seekers.

Daytime temperatures reach a sweltering high of 31°C (88°F) and fall no lower than 21°C (70°F) in the evenings.  There is a whopping 14 hours of sunshine every day, so sun worshippers will be in seventh heaven.

This may not be a good time of year to visit if you dislike intense heat or large crowds.

The main attraction of course at this time of year is over 4 miles (7km) of golden sandy beaches. The water is warm at this time of year and perfect for families as it is fairly shallow and calm.

Watersports such as scuba diving and jet skiing are available in the area, and if you are feeling energetic you can swim out to Babaada Island for some stunning views of the coastline – however, most people tend to take a boat tour to see the island.

Inland, the area is popular for hiking, cycling and quad biking. You can also head to see the remains of the Ancient city of Physilis, with its city walls and Byzantine Church.

Take care when you are out and about during the day to avoid sunburn and sunstroke.

You should wear sunscreen with a high enough SPF for your skin, as well as hats and sunglasses. Make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day and seek shelter during the hottest times of day.

Victory Day is celebrated all over Turkey on August 30^th and is a national holiday, so keep in mind that many public services will be closed.
