Beaches and Resorts

The coastline around Antalya is renowned for its golden sands and crystal-clear waters. The Lara district is particularly popular with UK visitors, famous for its long, wide sandy beaches and high concentration of luxury resorts. Many hotels here are purpose-built for the package-holiday experience, meaning you will often find multiple pools, extensive kids' clubs, and direct beach access right on your doorstep. For those who prefer a different setting, areas like Kemer offer a more rugged, mountainous backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the blue of the Mediterranean.

Things to Do and Food

Beyond the comfort of your resort, the region offers plenty to keep you occupied. Strolling through the historic streets of the old town allows you to soak up the local atmosphere and browse traditional shops. Food plays a central role in any trip here, with most resorts offering vast buffets featuring both international favourites and local Turkish delicacies. Fresh seafood, grilled meats, and an array of sweet desserts are staples of the local dining experience.

For those who enjoy a bit of adventure, the local area is well-equipped for watersports. Whether you want to try parasailing or simply relax on a boat trip along the coast, the opportunities to make the most of the sea are endless.

Getting There and When to Go

Reaching Antalya is straightforward, with frequent flights from major UK hubs including Manchester and Liverpool. The peak summer months bring the most reliable sunshine, though the shoulder seasons of May, June, September, and October offer a slightly cooler climate that is often preferred by those wanting to avoid the midday heat. Whether you choose a high-end five-star property or a comfortable four-star option, the ease of access makes it a top choice for a quick week or two away.

Who It Suits

Antalya is incredibly versatile. It is a brilliant choice for families who want the security and ease of an all-inclusive resort with plenty of amenities for children. Equally, it suits couples perfectly, especially those staying in city hotels who want the option of wandering out to enjoy the local scenery and coastal walks in the evening. If you are looking to combine relaxation with a touch of Mediterranean culture, it remains one of the best value-for-money destinations available.
