One certain Greek user has been referencing the climate of Antalya, the touristic Turkish city, a lot in order to compare it with similar Greek climates. While Antalya may be cooler than some hot and/or boteved Greek islands, I will pit it against my home city of Atlanta in a climate battle that the paradise of Antalya surely cannot lose.
Atlanta

Close call, although it pains me to say it, I'll give an edge to Antalya. Worse precip pattern but more interesting record max temps.

How is Antalya a desert? That doesn't make sense, even as a joke. |

Neither of these are even close to deserts. |

As much as Atlanta sucks, Antalya is much worse.
Although I wouldn't mind visiting either in the hottest months, I totally would never live in such climates ever.

Antalya for me obviously. Mediterranean paradise of course, and its summer highs are warmer than Lindos  |

Neither of these are even close to deserts. If it quacks like a duck....etc etc Street view imagery around Antalya appears very arid, with widespread patches of bare ground and ugly drought-adapted vegetation. No amount of Mediterranean gaslighting will change that. |

Close battle for me... I don't dislike Atlanta's climate ( although the winters are colder than Melbourne's ).
I like contrasting seasonal rainfall patterns be they Monsoon or Med, so the Turk one gets the vote.

No amount of Mediterranean gaslighting will change that. Playing devil's advocate here. Street view imagery around Kano, Nigeria appears very arid, with widespread patches of bare ground and beautiful drought-adapted vegetation. It gets 45" of annual rain. You wouldn't dare call it a desert. Street view imagery around Amarillo, Texas appears very arid, with widespread patches of bare ground and beautiful drought-adapted vegetation. It gets just 20" of annual rain, but you still probably wouldn't call it a desert. Obviously none of these places, and Antalya, are not deserts. Antalya is more vegetated than both of them, fwiw.
TLDR, you have a bias against Mediterranean climates. You calling Antalya a desert is akin to if I decided to start calling Córdoba, Argentina a desert.

Streetview from the "desert" of Antalya... ... ...can deserts support massive stands of native pine forest?

You "desert" lot hate Antalya's climate just as much as that Greek climate nationalist does  |
