Beaches and Coastal Towns

The Antalya region is defined by its diverse coastline, encompassing popular towns like Alanya, Kemer, Side, and Belek. Each area has its own unique character. Alanya is famous for its vibrant atmosphere and beautiful stretches of sand, while Kemer is known for its dramatic backdrop where the mountains meet the sea. Side offers a more relaxed pace, blending modern comforts with a historical feel, and Belek is widely recognised for its high-quality resort infrastructure.

Whether you head to the busy, golden sands of Lara or the slightly quieter corners of the Antalya region such as Okurcalar or Avsallar, you will find plenty of space to lounge by the water. The sea is usually calm and warm, making it perfect for swimming and various water-based activities.

When to Go and How to Get There

Most travellers choose to visit between late spring and early autumn. The Mediterranean climate ensures long, hot days during the summer months, while May and October provide a slightly cooler, more comfortable temperature that is perfect for those who prefer to spend their time exploring or walking through town centres. Direct flights from major UK hubs like Manchester and Liverpool make the journey straightforward, with many package providers handling your transfers directly to your hotel door, saving you the stress of navigating transport on your own.

If you are travelling with children, the water-focused amenities at resorts like the Kahya Resort Aqua & Spa in Payallar are a major draw. For those seeking a quieter retreat, consider the Viking Garden Hotel in Kemer, or enjoy the coastal views from the Vikingen Infinity Resort in Türkler.
