Snow Surprise in Antalya's Spring

In recent days, the temperature in Antalya, which was above the seasonal average, suddenly dropped and gave way to rain and snow. This sudden change in weather, especially along the mountainous route between Antalya and Konya, surprised many people.

Snowfall in the Highlands of Antalya

The recent precipitation in Antalya appeared as snow in high-altitude areas. On the Akseki - Seydişehir route, especially in the Alacabel region which is located at an altitude of 1825 meters, the temperature dropped below zero and widespread snowfall was reported.

Snow Removal and Salting Operations on the Road

Following the intensification of the snowfall, road maintenance teams began snow removal and salting operations using heavy machinery. The thickness of the snow reached 20 to 30 centimeters in some areas.

The snowfall along the Alacabel route affected about 10 kilometers of the road.

Drivers Were Surprised

Some drivers who were traveling this route without winter equipment got stranded in the middle of the road. After the road cleaning operations by the maintenance teams were completed, the stranded vehicles were able to continue on their way.

Security Measures by Police and Gendarmerie

With the start of the snowfall, traffic police and gendarmerie forces from the Akseki region were stationed along the mentioned route and implemented necessary measures to ensure driver safety.
