Destination Description

Located at the foot of the majestic Taurus Mountains, Konyaaltı Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Antalya, Turkey. Known for its pebble shore, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking views, Konyaaltı attracts both locals and international travelers throughout the year.

Konyaaltı Beach has “Blue Flag” status, which confirms the good water quality. It is bound inwards by the beach park and numerous bars, cafes, nightclubs and hotels.

The beach is easily accessed from town, so it’s a very popular beach option with visitors who’ve chosen to stay in the atmospheric boutique hotel accommodation in Antalya’s old town district, as well as visitors at the beach hotels.

Why Visit Konyaaltı Beach?
Unlike sandy beaches like Lara, Konyaaltı Beach is unique with its smooth pebbles and incredibly clear water. Stretching for about 7 kilometers, it offers plenty of space for everyone—whether you want to relax, swim, or enjoy water sports.
