Beaches and Resorts

The primary appeal of Antalya is its stunning coastline. The resorts here are built to offer a seamless experience, where the transition from your hotel room to the Mediterranean is effortless. Most of the coastline in this region is well-organised, featuring clean, swimmable waters and plenty of sunbeds. The Lara district is renowned for its wide, sandy stretches, making it a brilliant choice for families with children or those who prefer a more relaxed beach holiday experience.

Getting There and When to Go

Reaching Antalya is straightforward, with frequent direct flights connecting the UK to this part of Turkey. Once you land, the transfers to your resort are generally efficient, allowing you to get into holiday mode almost immediately. The best time to visit is between May and October. The summer months offer the warmest weather for swimming, while the shoulder seasons of late spring and early autumn provide a slightly milder climate, perfect for those who want to avoid the peak heat of July and August.

Food and Activities

While many travellers choose Antalya for the ease of an all-inclusive package, the region offers plenty of reasons to step outside the resort. You can spend your days enjoying various watersports along the coast, or take a gentle stroll through the local area to soak up the atmosphere. The local cuisine is a highlight, with plenty of opportunities to sample fresh Mediterranean ingredients and traditional dishes. For a more relaxed pace, simply enjoying a meal near the water as the sun sets is a staple of the Antalya experience.

Who It Suits

Antalya is incredibly versatile. It is a fantastic choice for families who need a safe and well-equipped environment for children, but it is equally popular with couples looking for a bit of luxury. Because the region is so well-developed, it takes the guesswork out of your break. You can rely on high standards, friendly service, and a warm welcome, which is exactly why so many holidaymakers return year after year.
