About
Kemer is a coastal district in Turkey's Antalya Province, on the Mediterranean. It is best known as a holiday destination, with a long shoreline of beaches and a good number of resorts set between the sea and the mountains behind.
What a visit offers
- Beaches and sea. The coast is the main draw, and most visitors spend their days swimming, sunbathing or simply watching the water.
- Resort stays. The area is geared toward tourism, so accommodation ranges from hotels to resort complexes.
- Ancient ruins nearby. Kemer lies within reach of ancient sites from the wider Antalya region, which make a good change of pace from the beach.
Planning your trip
Kemer suits travellers who want a relaxed seaside base on Turkey's Mediterranean coast. It works well for a beach holiday, and for those who like to add a day or two of sightseeing among the region's historic places. Because the district is built around tourism, you will find plenty of places to eat, shop and rest after a day out.
If you are weighing up whether to go, think about what kind of holiday you want. For sea, sand and a comfortable resort setting, Kemer offers exactly that, with the option of exploring the ancient ruins of the area when you feel like a day out.
