What does the local coast look like?
Many hotels (Turkey, Antalya) have their own beaches. The use of their equipment is usually included in the price of the permit. But there are those where umbrellas and sunbeds are paid. Then you need to either shell out or settle in the shade on a towel.
The price of beach amenities is different, from five to 15 lire, depending on the degree of comfort that is provided to you. The coastal flavor of Antalya is very diverse. These are pebble beaches in the Liman area, and rocks in the central part of the city, and sand of different colors on the dunes in Lara. But each of these areas in its own way like tourists. It depends on which coast they consider suitable for relaxation.
Typical Antalya beaches
These include the Konyaalti coast in the western part of the city. This beach has a free area, with litter bins and changing rooms. There is nothing else there, but you calmly come with your towel and umbrella and spend time comfortably. The fact is that few people go to this area of Konyaalti. Vacationers mainly prefer the paid area of this beach - with showers, toilets and sun loungers. Money needs to be paid for entry, but you can use all services. There are also snack bars and bars on this beach. It looks like the coast of the central part.
These typical coastal zones include one of the oldest in Antalya - Mermerli beach. Entrance here costs two dollars. Near the port is Liman beach. All these shores are a continuous strip of pebbles. But it is rather small, there are no large cobblestones about which you can break your legs, as, for example, in Kemer. Sandy beaches in Antalya are located mainly within the city. But they can also be found in areas like Lara, as well as in Belek and Side.
