About Konyaaltı

About Konyaaltı

Konyaaltı offers a long pebble beach, family aquariums and a backdrop of snowy peaks. 18 km from Antalya Airport.

Relaxed, modern and family-friendly. Konyaaltı is Antalya's breezy seaside quarter, where a long pebble shoreline, a green promenade and the Beydağları peaks frame easy beach days that roll into lively evenings along Beach Park. It feels more like a local resort suburb than a packed tourist enclave, with wide boulevards, joggers at dusk and clear water just minutes from the city centre.

Best season
Late April to October for swimming, with sea temperatures comfortable from June through September. May, early June and September are the sweet spot for warm water without peak-summer crowds or heat. The promenade, aquarium and cable car are pleasant year-round, and winter days here are mild and quiet.
Hidden gem · Sunset from the Sarısu end
Most visitors cluster near Beach Park, but the western tip of Konyaaltı around Sarısu, at the foot of the cable car, is quieter and faces straight into the sunset behind the Beydağları. Time the last teleferik up or simply settle on the pebbles here as the sea turns gold and the mountains darken to silhouette.
What Konyaaltı is famous for

Six reasons people choose Konyaaltı

The standout features that set Konyaaltı apart from every other Antalya region.

🏖️
Konyaaltı Beach
A long Blue Flag beach of clean grey pebbles running for kilometres along the western edge of Antalya, with strikingly clear Mediterranean water and tidy beach clubs lining the shore.
🐠
Antalya Aquarium
Home to the world's longest underwater tunnel at 131 metres, where you walk beneath sharks, rays and themed scenes like a sunken Atlantis. It sits just steps back from the Konyaaltı waterfront.
🚡
Tünektepe Cable Car
Rising from the Sarısu station at the beach's western end, the teleferik climbs roughly 1,700 metres of cable to a summit terrace around 600 m up, with sweeping views over the gulf.
🏔️
Beydağları Backdrop
The Beydağları range walls the bay to the west, its peaks holding snow well into spring. The mountain-meets-sea panorama is what makes Konyaaltı's coastline so photogenic.
🎡
Beach Park
A leafy seafront strip of restaurants, cafés, bars and family attractions that runs behind the beach, turning the promenade into Konyaaltı's social heart day and night.
🏛️
Sandland
An open-air sand sculpture museum where artists from around the world carve enormous works around a fresh theme each season, a quirky and very kid-friendly stop near the shore.
What to do

Things to do in Konyaaltı

A short-list our drivers and dispatchers recommend after dropping guests at their hotel.

🏊
Swim the pebble shore
Spend a day on Konyaaltı Beach, where the clear water deepens quickly off the pebbles. Reef shoes help, and most beach clubs rent loungers, umbrellas and showers.
🐬
Walk the aquarium tunnel
Stroll the 131-metre glass tunnel at Antalya Aquarium with sharks gliding overhead, then explore the themed reef and shipwreck sections. Allow two to three hours, especially with children.
🚡
Ride to Tünektepe
Take the cable car up to the summit terrace for a coffee with one of the widest panoramas over Antalya's gulf, city and mountains. Note it is generally closed on Mondays.
🚶
Cycle or stroll Beach Park
Follow the seafront promenade past cafés, playgrounds and viewpoints. It is flat, shaded in places and ideal for an evening walk, jog or rented-bike ride along the water.
🏰
Visit Sandland
Wander the open-air sand sculpture park to see this year's themed carvings up close. Go in late afternoon when the light is softer and the crowds thin out.
🌅
Chase the sunset
End the day at the western end of the beach where the sun drops behind the Beydağları. Bring a drink, claim a flat patch of pebbles and watch the sky and sea change colour.
Worth seeing

Must-see sights near Konyaaltı

All reachable on a half-day or full-day private Mercedes tour.

🐠
Antalya Aquarium
The headline indoor attraction on the Konyaaltı waterfront, with its record-length tunnel, oceanarium tanks and immersive themed zones. A reliable rainy-day or midday-heat option for all ages.
🚡
Tünektepe Summit
The hilltop reached by the teleferik gives a 360-degree look at the bay, with the city sprawling east and the Beydağları rising west. The terrace café makes it worth lingering for the view.
🏞️
Atatürk Park & Promenade
Green parkland and a clifftop-edged walkway thread along the seafront behind the beach, dotted with statues, tea gardens and shaded benches looking out over the Mediterranean.
🏔️
Beydağları Views
Not a single site but the ever-present backdrop, the snow-capped Beydağları frame nearly every Konyaaltı view and are best admired from the beach or the cable car summit.
Trip tricks

Travel tips for Konyaaltı transfers

What we tell every guest before they fly in. Save these on your phone before landing.

🩴
Bring water shoes
Konyaaltı is a pebble beach, not sand. Reef or water shoes make getting in and out of the sea far more comfortable, and the loose stones can be hot underfoot at midday.
📅
Mind the Monday closure
The Tünektepe cable car is typically closed on Mondays and runs limited hours, so check operating times before planning a summit trip and aim for a clear, calm-wind day.
🚌
City centre is close
Konyaaltı sits right beside central Antalya, so it is easy to pair beach time with the old town of Kaleiçi or museums. Trams and buses connect the area, though they can be slow with luggage.
🚗
Book a transfer for arrival
From AYT it is roughly a 25–30 minute drive. A private transfer drops you directly at your Konyaaltı hotel with no line changes, which is far easier than the bus with bags after a flight.

Is Konyaaltı Beach sand or pebbles?
