Where to Stay in Antalya
- Kaleiçi: boutique hotels in restored mansions, narrow lanes and the old harbour; for a stay focused on the city and culture rather than the beach.
- Konyaaltı Beach: hotels and aparthotels along a long pebble beach with mountain views west of the centre; a beach holiday close to town.
- Lara: sandy beaches and large resorts in the east; practical for families thanks to its closeness to the airport.
- Antalya city centre: for shopping, business trips and easy access to city transport.
Resort areas such as Kemer, Belek, Side and Alanya are easy to reach from Antalya. To compare them, see our guide Where to Stay in Antalya: An Area-by-Area Hotel Guide.
Types of Hotel
Antalya has city hotels, boutique hotels in Kaleiçi, all-inclusive resorts in Lara and aparthotels with kitchens, especially around Konyaaltı. Families can start with Family Hotels in Antalya: A Guide to Holidays With Kids and Antalya Hotels With Kids Clubs: A Guide by Age, and for a spa break see Spa and Wellness Holidays in Antalya and the Mediterranean Coast.
When to Go
The swimming season runs from May to the end of October; June and September offer the best balance of warmth and crowds. July and August are the hottest and busiest months. In winter the mild weather makes for a pleasant city break among Kaleiçi and the ancient sites.
Getting There
Antalya Airport lies east of the city centre and is especially close to Lara. For a private transfer to your hotel, see Antalya Airport to Antalya transfer. Trams and buses run within the city, and the surrounding resorts are easy to reach by road.
Things to Do in Antalya

Who Is Antalya For?
Antalya brings different holiday styles together in one city. Families usually choose Lara’s sandy beaches and resorts with kids’ clubs; couples and culture lovers explore the lanes and restaurants of Kaleiçi from a boutique hotel. Independent travellers often pick Konyaaltı for a beach holiday close to city life.
A few nights in Kaleiçi followed by Lara or Konyaaltı combines culture and the sea in one trip. If you want to see the ancient cities and nature routes nearby, staying close to the centre makes day trips easier.
