Antalya is good because it offers tourists several bonuses at once. Firstly, these are a variety of hotels, from budget to luxurious palaces, where your every desire will be fulfilled. Secondly, it is a lot of historical sights, party places and beautiful landscapes. And finally, thirdly, these are the beautiful beaches of Antalya. They are clean, with clear water and equipped for recreation in the best possible way. Here at your service not only umbrellas, sunbeds and cabins. Garbage is removed everywhere, there are toilets, showers. In addition, the transport system and very convenient infrastructure are well developed here.

What the coast looks like here

Many hotels (Turkey, Antalya) have their own beaches. The use of their equipment is usually included in the price of the tour. But there are also those where umbrellas and sunbeds are paid. Then you need to either fork out or settle in the shade on a towel.

The price of beach amenities varies, from five to 15 liras, dependingdepending on the degree of comfort that you are provided. The coastal color of Antalya is very diverse. These are pebble beaches in the Liman area, and rocks in the central part of the city, and sand of different colors on the dunes in Lara. But each of these areas is attractive to tourists in its own way. It depends on which coast they consider suitable for recreation.

Typical beaches of Antalya

These include the coast of Konya alti in the western part of the city. This beach has a free area, with litter bins and changing rooms. There is nothing else there, but you can calmly come with your towel and umbrella and spend your time comfortably. The fact is that few people go to this area of Konya alti. Vacationers mostly prefer the paid area of this beach - with showers, toilets and sun loungers. You need to pay money for the entrance, but you can use all the services. This beach also has eateries and bars. This is how the coast of the central part looks like.

One of the oldest in Antalya, Mermerli Beach, can be attributed to such typical coastal areas. Entrance here costs two dollars. Liman beach is located near the port. All these shores are a continuous strip of pebbles. But it is rather small, there are no large cobblestones on which you can break your legs, as, for example, in Kemer. Sandy beaches in Antalya are located mainly within the city. But they can also be found in areas like Lara, as well as in Belek and Side.

Most Popular

Young people prefer such Antalya beaches as Beach-A park. There are really a lot of trees and greenery. This coast stretches for one and a half kilometers along the sea between the water park and the Sheraton Hotel. It is a series of paid sites. There are many water activities for every taste. These are skis, for skiing in foam splashes, and bananas, and cheesecakes, and catamarans, and numerous boat trips on boats in all directions.

And after sunset, the famous foam parties and discos rumble, which arrange a variety of bars on the shore. It is also believed that the best and most fashionable alcoholic cocktails are poured here. Entry is free, as is dancing, but only if you purchase a drink. Near the center there are hotel beaches popular with Europeans. But since there is a rocky coast, almost all of them are platforms with stairs descending into the water.

Family

If you come with children, then the beaches of Antalya, which are located in the Lara region, are most likely to suit you. It is no different from other coasts, but the entrance to the water here is very gentle, and the coating itself is sandy. Entrance here is free, and renting sun loungers and deck chairs is ten lire a couple per day. Cliffs descend into the sea, and fine white sand covers the space between them.

This area of the city is located ten kilometers from the center. By the way, experienced tourists are advised not to rent a sunbed and an umbrella, but to buy a deck chair and other accessories in any store. The price will surprise you - often it is cheaper than the cost of renting such equipment forone day. The best beaches of Antalya, from the point of view of Russian tourists, of course, are in Lara. First of all, they are good because the equipped zones gradually turn into “wild” ones where you can not only relax for free, but also grill something. Moreover, the number of vacationers decreases significantly, the farther from the city coast. Good sand, but not white, but golden in color, on the beaches of Kundu. This is also an option for an inexpensive family vacation in Antalya.

Most sustainable

Pebble beaches continue to the west from Antalya, all the way to Kemer. And to the east - sandy, to Alanya. Among them there are beaches in the vicinity of the city, which are among the cleanest and most environmentally friendly. This can be called the beach "Topcham", located in the area of the national park "Olympos". There are a lot of picturesque bays, amazing landscapes. There are practically no people, the water is clean, and quiet, like in paradise. Entry is free and sun loungers are available for rent.

The beach consists of both sand and pebbles. True, there are no bars, no discos, no water entertainment. It is also safe for children on this beach, because the entrance is smooth and the waves are rare. The small bays of Phaselis are also good, where, in addition to excellent swimming, you can also see the ruins of an ancient Greek city on the very seashore. By the way, there are also small pebble beaches. You can swim right on the territory of the museum.

Antalya hotels with sandy beach

Such hotels in this area are located only in Lara and Kunda. It's basically five starhotels. The most interesting of them is Lykia World Antalya Deluxe. It stands surrounded by mountains covered with pine forests. To the beach from its buildings - no more than a hundred meters. This hotel has a children's water park.

Sera Club Hotel is also good. He invites all year round, stands in a huge green park and works on the "ultra all inclusive" system. The beaches of Antalya are also good in the hotels of the Dolphin Deluxe and Venice Palace chains. The first of them is located right on the beach among the palm trees. You get the impression that you are not in Turkey, but somewhere in the Tropics. "Venice" is a very beautiful hotel, really built in the style of the "pearl of the Adriatic". It is located in the new resort of Kundu, near the sandy beach on the Mediterranean Sea.
