- Spring weather: April mornings in Kemer can be cool and middays sunny. Pack layers, a cap and sun cream.
- Registration: entry and category details are published on the Corendon Tennis Club tournaments page.
- For siblings and parents: between matches, Kemer’s seafront, the marina and ancient Phaselis make easy outings.
