Best time to visit Marmaris
Re-score for me — drag the dial — every chart recolours live for your heat & sea limits 27°C · sea 29°C
Default 27 °C is the upper edge of the Holiday Climate Index "ideal comfort" band (Scott, Rutty, Amelung & Tang, 2016). Above this, most warm-tourism travellers report measurable discomfort.
Default 29 °C is the Beach Climate Index "bathtub" line (Morgan et al.) — where the sea stops being refreshing and starts feeling like a warm bath.

Frequently asked questions about visiting Marmaris
When is the best time to visit Marmaris?
April is the highest-scoring month (10/10 on the Holiday Climate Index). Typical conditions: 13–22°C (6 rainy days). The top three months by score are April, May, October.
What is the worst time to visit Marmaris?
July is the lowest-scoring month (3/10, capped by extreme heat). Typical conditions: 25–38°C (0 rainy days).
Is Marmaris too hot in summer?
4 months (June, July, August, September) trip the heat deal-breaker in our scoring: apparent temperature crosses the comfort cap, so even with clear skies and low rain the score is held down. Plan around it if heat tolerance is low.
When are crowds lowest in Marmaris?
Search-interest seasonality (Google Trends 2021-2025) is lowest in November and peaks in July. Interest tracks both in-trip visitors and lead-time planners, so treat it as a "destination is on people's minds" signal rather than literal arrivals.
Which months in Marmaris have good weather but fewer tourists?
April (climate 10/10, crowd index 31) and May (climate 10/10, crowd index 45) — shoulder months with above-average climate and below-median search-interest. Often the best value-for-weather trade.
What is the UV index in Marmaris by month?
UV peaks at 10 (very high) in July and is lowest in January at 2 (low). Monthly peak values: Jan 2, Feb 3, Mar 4, Apr 6, May 7, Jun 9, Jul 10, Aug 9, Sep 7, Oct 5, Nov 3, Dec 2. June, July, August reach very high or extreme levels — apply SPF 50+, wear a hat and protective clothing, and limit direct sun between 11:00 and 17:00.
What is the UV index in Marmaris in July?
July is the peak UV month in Marmaris, with a daily-peak UV index of 10 (very high). At this level, sunburn can occur in under 20 minutes on unprotected fair skin. Apply SPF 50+, wear protective clothing and a hat, and avoid direct midday sun (11:00–17:00).
How high can UV get in Marmaris on the sunniest days?
Most days look like the monthly average, but on the sunniest ~1 in 10 days UV climbs higher than the mean suggests. May is the worst case: typical days average UV 7 (high), but the top 10% of days reach UV 9 (very high) — and even higher. Months where the sunniest days routinely exceed the typical reading: April, May, November. Plan sun protection for the worst case, not the average.
Is air quality in Marmaris bad for travelers?
PM2.5 (fine-particle pollution) exceeds the WHO sensitive-group guideline (15 µg/m³) in 4 months: March, April, June, August. The worst month is August with a typical-day mean of 12 µg/m³ (moderate); on the worst 10% of days PM2.5 reaches 18 µg/m³ (unhealthy for sensitive) and higher. People with asthma, heart conditions, or sensitive children may want to avoid these months or limit outdoor activity. Source: CAMS via Open-Meteo.
