Getting There and When to Visit

Getting to Manavgat is simple, with regular flights from major UK airports like Manchester and Liverpool landing into the nearby regional airport. Once you land in the Antalya region, transfers to your hotel are typically well-organised and efficient, meaning you can be poolside within a few hours of leaving the UK.

The best time to visit is during the shoulder seasons of May and June, or September and October, when the weather is consistently warm but the peak summer heat is more manageable. If you prefer the high temperatures for sunbathing, July and August are perfect, though you should expect busier resorts and a vibrant holiday atmosphere.

Beaches and Resort Life

The appeal of this corner of Turkey lies largely in its stunning coastline. The beaches here are varied, ranging from fine golden sand to areas with gentle shingle, all fringed by the clear, warm waters of the Mediterranean. Most of the 5-star resorts in the region are located directly on the beachfront, meaning your sun lounger is never more than a few steps away from the sea.

Life in the resorts is designed to be as effortless as possible. You can expect high standards of service, expansive swimming pools, and a variety of dining options that cater to all tastes. Whether you are looking for a quiet spot to read a book or an action-packed resort with slides and entertainment for the children, there is a property to match.

Dining and Local Activities

While many visitors choose to stay within their hotel complex, the local area offers plenty of opportunities to explore. You can enjoy a leisurely stroll through the historic streets of the nearby towns, where you will find local markets, traditional tea houses, and small shops selling everything from spices to handcrafted goods. It is a wonderful way to experience the local culture at your own pace.

For those who love the water, the region offers excellent opportunities for swimming and watersports. When you are ready to venture out from your resort, the relaxed pace of life in the Antalya region makes it easy to unwind and enjoy a slower rhythm of living.

With a wide variety of 4 and 5-star resorts, Manavgat is a destination that truly caters to everyone. We recommend checking the live package deals below to find the best current offers for your preferred travel dates and start planning your next Turkish adventure.
