**In short:** Hot summers, high humidity and strong sun are common to the Mediterranean coast and TRNC. These notes are general information; each space is assessed project by project.

### The general character of the Mediterranean coast

On the Mediterranean coast, summers are generally hot and humid, and the sun is strong for long hours. These conditions raise the need for shade, and how the material is affected by heat and moisture cycles gains importance in planning.

The character of a space differs between lines where mountains meet the sea, such as Kas-Kalkan, and broad-beach areas such as Belek, Side and Alanya. Design is therefore shaped by the texture of the area itself.

### General notes for TRNC

On the northern coasts of Cyprus too, summers are hot and the sun is strong; sea breeze varies with the position of the site. There are areas of different character such as Kyrenia, Iskele, Famagusta and Guzelyurt; a coastal town and a site closer to the interior do not share the same conditions.

In island conditions, material shipment and the organisation of installation are also planned separately. These topics are discussed project by project.

### Headings that stand out in planning

- Shade: under strong sun, fringe length and structure orientation matter
- Ventilation: in humid air, detail solutions let the material breathe
- Heat: hot surfaces and seating comfort are assessed together
- Checks: visual checks before and after the season are planned

For these topics, you can also look at our post on [season, wind and sun](/en/blog/mevsim-ruzgar-ve-gunesin-etkisi/).

### Areas we serve

On the Mediterranean line we assess projects in [Kas-Kalkan](/en/hizmet-bolgeleri/kas-kalkan/), [Kemer](/en/hizmet-bolgeleri/kemer/), [Belek](/en/hizmet-bolgeleri/belek/), [Side-Manavgat](/en/hizmet-bolgeleri/side-manavgat/) and [Alanya](/en/hizmet-bolgeleri/alanya/); in TRNC, in [Kyrenia](/en/hizmet-bolgeleri/girne/), [Iskele](/en/hizmet-bolgeleri/iskele/), [Famagusta](/en/hizmet-bolgeleri/gazimagusa/) and [Guzelyurt](/en/hizmet-bolgeleri/guzelyurt/). Our base is in Aydin; scope and organisation are clarified project by project after the visit.

### Comfort in humid and hot weather

High temperature and humidity affect not only the material but also the comfort of those using the space. A natural material shade structure, when designed so that air can circulate, may contribute to a feeling of coolness; however, the result depends on the orientation, height and surroundings of the space.

- Structure height and ventilation gaps
- Distance of seating areas from sun and heated surfaces
- Placement of dividers and curtains that does not cut the natural flow

These headings are assessed with the observations made during the site visit at design stage. These notes, being general information, are not a promise of any coolness or comfort result.

### In summary

On the Mediterranean coast and in TRNC, hot, humid and sunny summers bring shade, ventilation and the need for regular checks to the fore. Because conditions can change from region to region, and even from site to site within the same town, the notes shared here are general information. The real assessment is made on the visit. Whether it is a hotel, a restaurant or a villa, you can tell us about your project through the [request a quote](/en/teklif-al/) form.

If you are applying from a distant area, photos and rough measurements are very useful for a first assessment. Site visit and organisation topics are then planned together. In this process, scope, schedule and other details are clarified project by project.

### Frequently asked questions

#### Do you also install in TRNC?

We assess requests for Kyrenia, Iskele, Famagusta and Guzelyurt. The organisation of installation is discussed project by project.

#### Which material is preferred in hot and humid areas?

There is no single right answer. Reed, woven mat and bamboo options are assessed together according to purpose, appearance expectations and the care approach.

#### Is there a regional price or timeline?

We do not state a general price or timeline. Each project is assessed under its own conditions after the visit.
