The hotel is liked by picky tourists who come to Turkey for the sun, the sea, excursions, color and positive.
How to get there and location
The Kemer Millennium Palace 4 hotel is located not by the sea, but at the foot of the mountain. Between it and the beach lie the road and the houses of the village of Beldibi. Perhaps this causes the greatest displeasure of tourists, especially in the hot season, because from the hotel you have to get to the sea for about a quarterhours. Package tourists from Antalya International Airport are brought by a transfer. If you are traveling on your own, then first of all take the public transport, which will take you to the bus station. From there, regular buses and dolmushi literally every half an hour, or even more often go towards Kemer. You also need to get off in the resort village of Beldibi. This is where our hotel is located, just a few dozen meters from the highway. So it won't take long. It is 13 kilometers from the hotel to Kemer, and 34 kilometers to Antalya. It is less than an hour to drive along a narrow serpentine road from the bus station.

The resort is very interesting, located in the middle of the most beautiful natural attractions. It is here that the Taurus Mountains come closest to the sea. The village itself exists practically to serve the numerous hotels that stretch along the sea. By the way, German investors were the first to notice this place, who began to build the first beach resorts. There are many shops, restaurants and authentic taverns and coffee houses. The resort is named after the local river. The village has several beautiful coastal parks that are located along the sea towards Antalya. Beldibi is mainly visited by people who are fond of hiking, rafting and hiking in the mountains. Moreover, here they are so picturesque that the guests of many hotels ask the administration to have a view from the windows not of the sea, but of the rocks.
