Spring

Manavgat sesame: Sesame grows in Manavgat from May to September, and the tahini on Antalya's registered kabak tatlısı must come from Manavgat sesame.

Karyağdı pear: Korkuteli's registered Karyağdı pear is picked from late September into the first half of October, once the pips have turned black.
Çandır beans: Çandır, the small bean that Antalya piyaz once used, was harvested on Konyaaltı Municipality's 5,000 square metre plot in Yarbaşçandır, and the neighbourhood's muhtar said on 1 November 2023 that the area harvests 30 to 40 tonnes a year.

Finike oranges: Finike's Washington Navel oranges turn orange from November and ripen in December, January and February, when the registered Finike orange suits market and export best.
