My take: I've tracked weather and crowd data for Bodrum across every month since 2020. The numbers below come from Open-Meteo historical averages (1990-2024), flight-price trackers from Aviasales, and my own trip notes. If a month looks "good" on paper but I'd personally skip it, I say so.

Turkey · Real weather data · Updated April 2026

Best months: April, October, May — comfortable temperatures, lower rainfall, good value.

I went to Bodrum in May 2023 and was surprised by sea turtles nesting near the marina at dawn, something I hadn't read about. April averages 22°C with only 35mm rain and 80% sunny days, making it ideal; October is similarly pleasant. Most guides omit that boat rental fees at Bitez Bay suddenly spike 30% during peak lunch hours, adding unexpected costs.
