Beaches in Antalya

Antalya is nestled on the Mediterranean Sea in the beautiful area of southwestern Turkey. The major places of interest are the amazing beaches for tourists and Turks alike. There is no better place to spend a hot Turkish day than the border where water meets land. Soak up the sun as you stare off into the abyss of turquoise water and clear blue sky. The sea is a perfect place to cool off if the sun proves too powerful. If you feel more ambitious, go for a boat tour with snorkeling, scuba diving and swimming. With your Antalya car hire, you can easily drive to the boat tour kiosk or visit an impressive collection of Mediterranean beaches.    

Popular Antalya Beaches

The two beaches that are frequented by the most people are Lara and Konyaalti. Lara is a really long stretch of beach that has dark grainy sand and calm water. There are tons of great hotels and restaurants that provide a backdrop of buildings to the north. Try the Hotel Lara Beach or the Renaissance Beach Resort. Look south and you will gaze into the seemingly endless Mediterranean Sea. Although the beach gets somewhat crowded, you can easily find a nice place to set up your camp. You might even be lucky enough to get your own umbrella! If you want a more intimate experience, there are a few private beaches that require a fee if you want to relax in tranquility. Closer to the Antalya center, you will find the Konyaalti beach. The scene is similar to Lara, but there are less high rise hotels guarding the beach. You will even find peaceful parks that can provide a nice shaded walk to escape the heat of the sun. Drive your car hire to either of these Antalya beaches for some fun in the sun.

Secluded Beaches of Antalya

With a car hire at your disposal, the secluded beaches of the Antalya Province become easily accessible. If you want to have a truly personal experience with the Antalya shoreline, there is no better place than Cirali. The small farming city is only an hour drive from Antalya but you will feel in a different world. The population is scarce and the scenery is unbelievable. There is a beautiful beach that runs for 2 miles (3.6 km) along the crystal clear sea. Few people come to the beach because they have limited mobility. With a car hire, the secluded beach in Cirali is no problem to reach and surely no problem to enjoy. Another great way to find a secluded beach is with a yacht rental. You can cruise the coast to find the perfect place to stop. Whichever beach you choose in Antalya, you are in store for a treat.
