Beaches and Resort Life
The coastline of Kemer is a major draw for package holidaymakers. Many of the beaches here are well-organised, offering comfortable loungers and clear, warm waters. Because so many resorts are built directly along the coast or within short transfers of the shoreline, you can easily find a spot to soak up the sun. The area is particularly well-suited for those who enjoy water-based activities, from simple swimming to more adventurous water sports available at many of the beachfront properties.
Getting There and When to Go
Most British holidaymakers travelling to Kemer will land at Antalya airport. From there, your package holiday transfer will whisk you away to your hotel. The journey is straightforward and usually takes you through some beautiful coastal scenery. In terms of timing, the season typically runs from late spring through to early autumn. If you prefer long, hot days for beach lounging, July and August are the peak, while May, June, and September offer slightly milder temperatures that are perfect for those who want to balance beach time with exploring the local town centre.
Food, Drink and Local Character
Kemer is a destination that takes hospitality seriously. You will find that most hotels offer high-quality dining options, but it is well worth heading out to wander through the streets of Kemer town. It is a great place for a stroll, with plenty of opportunities to grab a Turkish tea or coffee and watch the world go by. The food scene is heavily influenced by the region, offering fresh Mediterranean produce, delicious grilled meats, and local pastries that are hard to resist.
