Beach holidays to Turkey

West of Alanya is the 3km long and 60m wide Kleopatra Beach, which has been awarded the Blue Flag for its excellent water quality. On the gently sloping shore families, couples and singles can enjoy themselves. If you want to experience something on holiday, participate in the extensive water sports and explore the underwater world while snorkelling. The good wind conditions also attract surfers to Kleopatra Beach. Ice shops, beach clubs, beach bars and restaurants invite you to recharge your batteries. 

In the south of the country near Fethiye is the Butterfly Bay, one of the top beaches. The cliffs, up to 350m high around the beach, provide a unique panorama. Nature lovers love the idyllic village because of the 80 butterfly species that live here. We advise you to walk to the 50m high waterfall in the centre of the valley. The view and the romantic ambience are simply unforgettable. The best way to reach the Butterfly Bay is by boat from Oludeniz.

The west of Bodrum Bitez Beach is an insider tip for surfers. If you want to perfect your surfing skills or rent equipment, the water sports schools are the right contact. Due to a demarcation in the sea, the areas for swimmers and athletes are separated. In addition, Bitez Beach is one of the best beaches for families. A playground invites you to enjoy yourself if you are looking for a break from splashing in the gently sloping shore. 

At about 10km long, Belek Beach is one of the longest beaches in the country. Here, those who are looking for relaxation are sure to find a quiet spot. At the 100m wide, sandy beach, guests with toddlers feel comfortable. Variety is provided with the pedalo hire and banana boat rides. As barrier-free toilets are available at Belek Beach, the stretch of coast is also ideal for people with walking difficulties. The infrastructure also includes a sun lounger and parasol hire, and numerous restaurants.

Due to the high proportion of coral, almost white sand awaits you at Illica Beach in the city of Cesme. The approximately 1km long coastline wins you over with clean sanitary facilities, a good culinary provision and crystal-clear water. Gastronomically you are also well looked after with ice cream parlours and restaurants. With hot springs off the coast, the sea here is warmer than other beaches in Turkey. Illica Beach is therefore, affectionately known as bath of the Mediterranean.

Hardly any other of the Turkish can impress with turquoise waters like Oludeniz Beach. The lagoon can be found south of Fethiye. The water on the1.7km long and 40m wide coastline drops relatively steeply; competent lifeguards ensure the safety of bathers. Bold people drive up Babadağ Mountain and float down the beach on a tandem paraglide. You will enjoy the wonderful feeling of freedom and weightlessness.

When visiting the magnificent Olympos Beach, you can combine a bathing trip with an interesting sightseeing tour. Located in the middle of a nature park, the 3km long beach captivates you with a bright yellow beach and clean water. In the middle, a river flows into the sea, so you can swim here in both fresh and salt water. Families like to meet each other at the playground.

Lara Beach is up to 80m wide and 12km from the centre of Antalya. The 5.2 km long stretch of coast is exceptional with its dark sand and gravel. From Antalya you can easily reach Lara Beach by public bus Dolmus. On the beach you can rent comfortable loungers and umbrellas, and a children's playground will delight the youngest guests. It is also fun going out on the pedalo. A beach club completes the comprehensive offer.
