Hotels in Antalya

Staying in Antalya

Kaleiçi is the heart for visitors: Ottoman houses turned into small hotels, a Roman gate, and lanes running down to the harbour. Around it is the modern city, with shopping streets, a tram line and clifftop parks. To the west, past the museum, the beach at Konyaaltı stretches toward the mountains with hotels along the road behind it. To the east, the coast flattens into the beach strip where the large resorts stand, and beyond that the road continues to Belek and Side. Antalya Airport is east of the city centre, close to the eastern beaches. The transfer routes listed on this page run from the airport to Belek, Kemer and Side as well as the city, so if your hotel is in a resort town rather than Antalya itself, pick that route. Late arrivals usually prefer a car booked ahead to the queue outside the terminal. The decision is between city and resort. Kaleiçi suits people who want to walk out to restaurants and the harbour, and to take day trips to the ruins at Perge and Aspendos. The beach hotels east of the city are closest to the airport and built around their pools. Konyaaltı is a middle way: a city beach with the old town a tram ride away.
