What are the best beaches in Antalya?
If you’re like us and your holiday revolves around beaches, you’re in luck. Antalya hosts a massive 202 blue flag beaches, holding the record for the most Blue Flag beaches in the world. It's serving up some serious shoreline sass. 🏖️ And if you think you've lounged on the best beaches in the world, well... Antalya's about to slide into your top rankings like, "Hold my Efes beer!".
Konyaaltı Beach - Hold on to your sun hats! With the majestic Taurus Mountains photobombing your sunbathing selfies, this beach is every Instagram influencer's dream and every sun-seeker's paradise. If beaches had a 'cool kids' table, Konyaaltı would be at the head of it.
Lara Beach - Sandy toes? Check. Waters worth dipping? Double-check. Lara Beach is the VIP lounge of Antalya's coastline. With golden sands softer than your fave memory foam pillow, it's no wonder this beach is the poster child for luxury resorts. Fun fact: Lara's got these sand sculptures that’ll make your childhood sandcastles look like, well, child's play.
Olympos Beach - If you’re into a bit of history with your sunburn, Olympos is your jam. Flanked by ancient ruins, this beach is like, "Oh, these old things? Just some remnants from the Roman era. No biggie." It’s the kind of place where you can take a dip in the sea and then casually stumble upon an ancient amphitheatre. Like Netflix and chill, but make it Greco-Roman.

Antalya weather – as delicious as a fresh plate of baklava!
Antalya, perched prettily on the south coast of Turkey, knows how to turn up the heat. From June to September, temperatures can sizzle upwards of 30°C. I'm talking perfect beach-bum weather. Imagine, golden sands, clear turquoise waters, and you soaking up the sun. Fabulous, isn't it?
But, the weather in Antalya isn't just a one-hit wonder. Enter spring (March to May) and autumn (October and November), when temperatures mellow to a pleasant 18-25°C. Ideal for exploring the charming old city, Kaleiçi, or taking a leisurely cruise along the stunning coast.
Even in winter (December to February), Antalya plays it cool with temperatures dropping to a comfortable 10-15°C. It's the perfect time for a Turkish tea break while exploring ancient Roman ruins.

Good experience all round
Had to cancel twice due to covid, 3rd time lucky we finally got to Göynük, Antalya, Turkey. On the Beach were really good, and quick to respond re refunds, changes etc. Our On the Beach tour guide in resort, Umut, was amazing, and so quick to sort out any concerns we had while there. Thank you.
What a great service and fantastic…
What a great service and fantastic value for money On the beach is, we booked with a different company for the Akra hotel Antalya on 2 separate occasions costing far more than On the beach, the money we saved with them meant we could upgrade our room to a Mediterranean Suite and we STILL saved money...thanks guys
Excellent website
