The western beach district — Konyaaltı, a long pebble beach beneath the dramatic Taurus Mountains, with a lovely seafront promenade, the aquarium, parks and beachfront cafés and hotels. Beachy, scenic and relaxed, with mountain-and-sea views, a short ride or tram from the old town; the base for travellers who want a beach and promenade with the historic centre close by. Antalya's scenic seaside side. Lovely for beach and mountain views.

Beautifully displayed and rich in world-class ancient art, it's the perfect complement to visiting the ruins, bringing their stories and finest finds together. A cultural highlight and a cool escape from the heat. Excellent for history lovers; a must. World-class and illuminating.
- 8.Konyaaltı Beach — Antalya's spectacular city beach — Konyaaltı, a long pebble beach stretching beneath the dramatic backdrop of the soaring Taurus Mountains, with a lovely landscaped seafront promenade, beach clubs, cafés and clear blue water. The mountain-and-sea setting is stunning, and it's an easy, scenic spot for a swim, a sunbathe and a sunset right by the city. Relax on the beach with the mountains behind, stroll the promenade, and enjoy the setting; it's a beautiful, convenient city beach. A lovely, scenic highlight. Gorgeous, especially with the mountain backdrop.

Modern, immersive and great for all ages, it's a fun, cool escape from the summer heat and a lovely outing, especially with children. Wander the vast tunnel among the sharks and marine life; it's an engaging, family-friendly attraction near Konyaaltı Beach. A fun, cooling highlight. Great for families and a hot day.
