Lara Beach
A long sandy beach east of the city, lined with large all-inclusive resorts.
Lara is Antalya’s main sandy beach, running east from the city towards the Aksu river through the Kundu hotel zone. Most of the beachfront is occupied by resorts with their own beach sections, piers and water-sports.
The sand shelves gently, which makes Lara popular with families, and the airport is only 15–20 minutes away — a strong advantage for short stays and late flights.
- →Public beach sections exist near the city end for guests at non-beachfront hotels.
- →Combine with the TerraCity mall and the Lower Düden falls, both on the way into town.
