Konyaaltı is Antalya's multi-kilometre award-winning pebble beach on the city's west side, where the Taurus Mountains drop straight into the sea. Clear water, a dramatic mountain backdrop and a palm-lined beach park put it far above ordinary city-beach standard.
Behind the shore, the Beach Park strip lines up cafés, restaurants and a cycle path; Antalya Aquarium is within walking distance. The Blue Flag beach is lifeguarded throughout the season.
