Why travellers choose Kemer: the resort for an ideal stay
This picturesque resort is made up of several areas, and every traveller can find something to love in each of them. Let’s take a closer look at where it really makes sense to book your hotel.
Kemer – the heart of the resort
Kemer is the lively centre of the resort. Here you’ll find accommodation for every budget, authentic markets, stalls with Turkish sweets, souvenir shops, upscale restaurants, the most famous nightclubs and seafront bars, as well as plenty of children’s centres – you name it, Kemer has it.
Tekirova – quiet and high-class hotels
The calm and peaceful area of Tekirova concentrates many first-class hotels. It is designed for a relaxed holiday: perfect for families with children and for those who love to unwind on the seafront or in a spa.
Kiris and Camyuva – slow rhythm and nature
Kiris is a small village with luxury hotels, ideal for those seeking unhurried leisure. Yes, lovers of intense nightlife might be bored here, and that’s exactly its charm: it is a pleasure to spend a holiday without hustle and noise, surrounded by extraordinary nature.
Its “big brother” Camyuva, with a wider range of hotels, is also ideal for a quiet stay but can offer more activities too – from extreme safari trips to hiking.
Goynuk and Beldibi – sea, mountains and history
In Goynuk, besides classic beach packages, you have the chance to try mountain tourism and hiking through the canyon and cliffs of the national reserve.
Beldibi also offers accommodation and infrastructure for every budget. It can boast unique cultural and historical features too: this is where the famous ancient cave with Paleolithic drawings was discovered.
Cirali – authentic and uncrowded coastline
Cirali is the most interesting area culturally: here you’ll find many of the region’s key attractions, some of them within walking distance. There are no giant five-star hotels with private beaches. For an authentic location, uncrowded coastline, bungalow stays or diving, this is exactly the part of the resort we recommend.

Seasonal holidays in Kemer: spring, summer, autumn
Flights to Kemer’s region operate throughout the tourist season, which here lasts from April until mid-October. The best time to travel is individual – it depends entirely on your weather preferences.
For travellers who don’t enjoy extreme heat, April, May, September and early October are ideal. On top of that, it is a good way to save money: the most attractive prices for package tours and flights usually fall in these periods.
For sightseeing, spring and autumn are the most comfortable – it’s better not to wander around stone ruins under harsh midday sun. For those who love hot weather, warm sea and families with children, June to August is perfect. Keep in mind that during these months the temperature can reach 40 °C.
Kemer – hotels and service quality: a choice for everyone
Hotels in Kemer are conventionally divided into two groups: youth-oriented properties for those coming for entertainment, and family hotels for guests who want a worry-free holiday and lots of facilities for kids. Family hotels usually offer 4–5★ service levels with All Inclusive, are often located on the first coastline and have easy, gentle access into the sea. Youth hotels are generally located in the town centre, close to clubs and bars where life is in full swing.
Hotels in Kemer 3★: affordable and comfortable stays
Three-star accommodation is perfect for travellers who don’t want to pay for countless extra services. If three meals a day, a bar and a pool are enough for you, and you are happy to organise your own entertainment, a 3★ hotel is an ideal option.
For a small budget, good options include a three-star hotel with positive reviews Emily Rose Hotel in Kemer, the minimalist yet clean Tal Beach Hotel and Hotel Ipsos with friendly staff in Beldibi. All of them are located about 5–10 minutes’ walk from the sea.
Hotels in Kemer 4★: the perfect price–quality balance
Travellers who don’t want to overpay but prefer good service and All Inclusive often choose four-star packages. Sometimes, in terms of service, such hotels are very close to 5★ properties, just without the big brand name.
Smart choices include Grand Viking Hotel in Kemer and Fame Residence Goynuk in Goynuk. There are also four-star chain hotels, such as Akka Claros in Kiris, which is a very solid example.
Hotels in Kemer 5★: luxury and exclusive services
For those who want true luxury and excellent service, five-star hotels such as Club Hotel Paloma Foresta in Beldibi, Gural Premier in Tekirova and Maxx Royal in Kiris are well worth considering.
You can expect luxurious furnishings, high-quality service, well-maintained sandy or sand-and-pebble beaches, strong entertainment programmes, modern spas and great on-site infrastructure.

Beaches of Kemer: relaxing on the clearest sea
Kemer is famous for its crystal-clear, wide pebble beaches. Swimming in these waters, surrounded by pine forests and cedar-covered mountains, is a real pleasure. Some five-star complexes pour sand on the shore, but the entrance into the water usually remains pebbly. Let’s look at a few of the resort’s most famous beaches:
Moonlight Beach
Moonlight Beach lies in a green bay of Kemer, surrounded by conifer-covered mountains. The shore is sand-and-pebble, with both free sections and paid areas. The infrastructure is varied: restaurants, cafés, bars, water sports and kiosks for boat trips. Nearby you’ll find a park complex, the marina where you can enjoy yachting, the Yoruk ethnographic museum-park, the Ayişığı dolphinarium and several nightclubs.
Tekirova Beach
Tekirova Beach is set in a scenic area among the mountains. Five-star hotels often pour sand on the shore, while the entry into the sea remains gently sloping and pebbly – perfect for small children. There are hotel sections and paid beach clubs, restaurants and bars, and centres for water activities – everything you need for a comfortable day at the sea.
Pirates Bay (Alacasu Paradise)
Pirates Bay (Alacasu Paradise) lies between cliffs in the Camyuva area. This wild pebble beach, located away from hotels, is recommended for those who prefer solitude and are tired of crowded resort coasts. There are usually not many people here, but the beach is also not equipped with facilities.
For example, there are no changing cabins, public toilets or sunbed rentals. The main highlight of the bay is the shimmering lights that appear in the sea at night: from mid-August to October you can observe the glow of micro-organisms living in the water.
Excursions and active holidays in Kemer
Kemer highlights: from culture to nature
Kemer’s nature is already a tourist attraction in itself. Its rich history makes the region especially unique. Here are a few places that are absolutely worth visiting:
Mount Chimera (Yanartaş)
A legendary mountain from ancient Greek myths about the Chimera and the ruins of Hephaestus’ temple. Flames burst straight out of the earth. At dusk it is magically beautiful at the foot of the mountain.
Ancient city of Phaselis
Founded by Greek colonists in the 7th century BC. Today, guided tours lead you through ruins that have survived for more than two thousand years. Aqueducts, an amphitheatre, basilicas, Roman baths, agoras and a theatre remain, all surrounded by aromatic pine forest and the warm, calm bays of the Mediterranean.
Cable car to Mount Tahtali
This is the highest peak on the coastline, and from the top you can admire panoramic views of the bay from Side to Kemer. A comfortable cabin will take you up in just about ten minutes, but you can also hike up (proper trekking shoes are essential). For adrenaline lovers there is paragliding and a “catapult” attraction, and in winter a small ski area operates.
Ancient city of Olympos
Another monument of antiquity, located on the slopes of Tahtali. It is less crowded than Phaselis, but there is plenty to see: ruins of Roman baths, aqueducts, temples, amphitheatres and sanctuaries, left by Lycians, Romans and even pirates who once settled in this city.
Cirali
A small beach in a village of the same name, where in spring sea turtles lay their eggs in the sand. At the beginning of August you may be lucky enough to witness the miracle of the tiny hatchlings emerging and making their way to the sea.
The Lycian Way
The “other side” of Turkey – without classic beach packages and All Inclusive. This famous trekking route starts in Goynuk and passes through some of the region’s most charming historical sites and natural beauty. All that’s left is to travel to Kemer and step onto the trail.
Entertainment in Kemer: restaurants, bars and shopping
For many tourists, the favourite part of the holiday is delicious food and exploring local markets. It’s impossible to travel to Turkey and not sample the local cuisine. Almost every café and restaurant serves soup (çorba), meze, dolma and köfte. At every corner you can try famous döner and pide, and Instagram-perfect Turkish breakfasts, kahvaltı, are a must.
Turkish markets are a special kind of adventure. Beyond typical magnets and plates with panoramas, you can bring home genuinely impressive souvenirs: mosaic glass lamps, hammam sets, oriental carpets, traditional tea glasses, Turkish ceramics, authentic shoes, scarves and robes. At food markets visitors hunt for olive oil, lokum and baklava, tea and coffee, spices and herbs.
For branded items, head to the local Migros shopping centre or wander through the shops along Atatürk Boulevard.
Family holidays in Kemer: joy for all ages
In Kemer, families with children will never be bored.
Dinopark in Goynuk
Dinopark in Goynuk is a place that young travellers really shouldn’t miss. This thematic park with life-sized dinosaurs is a huge hit with kids. There is also a children’s pool and a 7D cinema.
Moonlight dolphinarium complex
In Kemer, right by the sea, you’ll find the Moonlight complex with a dolphinarium. The site includes two pools, water slides, a sandy beach, a kids’ club, tennis courts, shops and restaurants. On the same peninsula you can visit the Yoruk ethnographic museum-park, which tells the story of the life of Turkish nomads.
Dolusu waterpark in Kiris
We recommend spending a whole day at the Dolusu waterpark in Kiris. Here you’ll find both classic and extreme slides. There are shows with dolphins and “mermaids”, a baby area, wave pool, restaurant and a well-equipped beachfront with sun loungers.
Suggested itinerary: 1 day in Kemer
Morning: slow breakfast at the hotel, then head to the beach – Moonlight Beach or your hotel beach – for a swim in the clear water and photos with the mountains as a backdrop.
Midday: lunch at a café on the seafront with meze, döner or pide and refreshing drinks. Afterwards, stroll through the centre of Kemer, the local markets and souvenir shops.
Afternoon: a short boat trip from the marina, or a relaxed break in a nearby park with light activities for children.
Evening: dinner in a restaurant with sea view, then a walk along the promenade, a drink in a bar with live music – or an early return to the hotel to rest before another full day.
Suggested itinerary: 2 days exploring the Kemer region
Day 1 – sea and history: morning on Moonlight Beach, followed by a trip to ancient Phaselis, with a walk among the ruins of Roman baths, the amphitheatre and aqueducts. In the evening, enjoy dinner in Kemer and shopping along Atatürk Boulevard.
Day 2 – mountains and nature: ride the cable car up Tahtali or, for seasoned hikers, tackle one of the trails. Afterwards, visit Cirali for a quiet beach afternoon or discover a section of the Lycian Way in the Goynuk area.
Evening: head back to your hotel, relax in the spa or hammam, have dinner and, if you wish, drop by a bar or club in Kemer town.
