Antalya

The seaside resort town of Kemer has two beaches. Moonlight beach on one side of the marina, nestled in a small bay surrounded by green hills. On the other side, there's Kemer's public beach, where sun loungers with mattresses are free, there are large umbrellas and clean white sand. Other fine beaches are located north of Kemer in Göynük, Beldibi and Kızıltepe, or towards the south in Çamyuva and Tekirova.

Mermerli beach is a small sandy beach close to Antalya's harbour — a lovely place to spend your afternoon after exploring the Old Town. Plenty of restaurants and cafes spread around offering the best view towards the sea. An area close by is the Adalar Swimming Area next to the cliffs of Karaalioğlu Park. There is an entrance fee to both these places.

Lara beach, about 9 km east of Antalya's old town, is a nice sand beach with shallow warm waters. It's one of the two best-known beaches of Antalya, complete with chairs, umbrellas, snacks and showers plus blue-flag status for its clean water.

The small town of Side has wide sand beaches and an impressive harbour. To the east, you will find the resorts of Sorgun, Kızılağaç and Titreyen Göl, a beach with a blue EU flag, as well as hotels and bars. Towards the west, you will find Kumköy and Çolaklı with many bars and cafés.

About 11 km west of the town you’ll find real sandy beaches: Bükyü Çaltıcak and Küçük Çaltıcak. Here you can enjoy a sunny day at the sea or take a hike in one of the many pine forests. Perfect for a day trip!

Konyaaltı Beach is one of the two main beaches of Antalya. The beach is on the western side of the city, stretching 13 km — fine pebbles and sand as far as the eye can see. The water is beautifully clear. While there is a great offer for kids to play in the waterpark, it promises a fun experience for the whole family. Relax in a beach chair with a drink in hand or drop in the Migros MMM shopping centre nearby. The Konyaaltı neighbourhood is worth a visit.
