About Tekirova

Tekirova borders the Phaselis archaeological park — 75 km from Antalya Airport on a forested stretch where Rixos Tekirova and the Phaselis-themed resorts open straight onto a turquoise sea.

Calm, green and family-minded. Tekirova trades the nightlife buzz of Kemer for pine-scented quiet, a long uncrowded pebble beach, and big all-inclusive resorts tucked beneath the Beydağları (Taurus) peaks. Days drift between the private beach, a boat trip to a hidden cove, and an evening stroll under the pines, with serious history and diving a short ride away.

Best season

Late April to October. May, June, September and the first half of October are the sweet spot: dry skies, 25-30°C days, and sea temperatures climbing from the low 20s into the high 20s°C. July and August are hottest (mid-30s°C) and busiest; spring and early autumn are gentler for sightseeing at Phaselis and the summit.

Hidden gem · Swim inside Phaselis

Most visitors photograph the ruins and leave, but the real magic is bringing a towel: the Protected (Sun) Harbour and the smaller bays beside the ancient quays are open for swimming. Floating in turquoise water with marble columns and a Roman aqueduct on the shore, often early before the tour boats arrive, is the quietest, most memorable hour you'll spend on this coast.

What Tekirova is famous for

Six reasons people choose Tekirova

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

🏛️

Phaselis Ancient City

A Lycian harbour city set in pine forest just north of the village, where Roman streets, a theatre and a 450 m aqueduct frame three natural bays you can still swim in today.

🚠

Olympos Teleferik to Tahtalı

The base station sits between Tekirova and Çamyuva, riding 4.3 km of cable to the 2,365 m summit of Tahtalı for a sea-to-sky panorama over the whole coast.

🤿

Three Islands Diving

Roughly 3 km offshore lie reefs, walls, caves and sunken wrecks in famously clear water, making Tekirova one of the Mediterranean coast's best diving bases.

🏨

Rixos Premium Tekirova

An expansive all-inclusive beachfront resort with private beach, aquapark and spa, set against Tahtalı and a long-standing anchor of Tekirova's upscale hotel strip.

🌲

Tekirova Nature Park

Declared a protected park in 2016, the red-pine forest runs almost down to the shore, keeping the air fresh and the resort calmer and greener than its busier neighbours.

🩵

Turquoise Coves

Sheltered pebble bays and the clear, shelving water along the 4 km beach give Tekirova its signature turquoise tone, ideal for swimming and boat-trip dips.

What to do

Things to do in Tekirova

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

🏛️

Explore Phaselis

Wander the colonnaded main street, theatre and harbour ruins, then swim off the ancient quays. Gates are open daily from morning to late afternoon, so go early to beat the boat crowds.

🚠

Ride to Tahtalı's summit

Take the Olympos Teleferik from the nearby base station up to 2,365 m. The 15-minute ascent ends in panoramic views, cool mountain air and a café terrace above the clouds.

🤿

Dive the Three Islands

Local PADI centres run trips just 20 minutes offshore to reefs, caves, walls and wrecks, with options from beginner try-dives to deeper sites for certified divers.

⛵

Take a boat trip

Wooden gulets leave Tekirova harbour for Phaselis and a string of secluded coves, with swim stops in turquoise water and lunch aboard, a relaxed half- or full-day classic.

🏖️

Unwind on the beach

The 4 km Blue Flag pebble beach is wide, clean and rarely crowded, with shallow entry that suits families and calm water for long, lazy swims.

🌄

Jeep or ATV safari

Head inland through the Taurus foothills and pine forest on a jeep or quad-bike safari, a fun, dusty way to see the mountains, villages and waterfalls behind the coast.

🏛️

Phaselis Harbours & Aqueduct

The three ancient harbours, theatre, agoras, baths and the long aqueduct are the area's headline sight, set among pines right on the shore north of the village.

⛰️

Mount Tahtalı (Olympos)

The 2,365 m peak that towers over Tekirova, mythical Mount Olympos of Lycia, reachable by cable car for sweeping views across sea and mountains.

🌲

Tekirova Nature Park

Protected red-pine woodland that runs down to the coast, giving the resort its clean air, shade and walking trails between the beach and the hills.

🏝️

The Three Islands

A cluster of rocky islets about 3 km offshore, the underwater star of the region, also a scenic backdrop for boat trips and snorkelling stops.

Trip tricks

Travel tips for Tekirova transfers

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

👟

Bring water shoes

Tekirova's beach and the coves at Phaselis are pebble, not sand. Slip-on water shoes make swimming and walking in far more comfortable for the whole family.

🧥

Pack a layer for the summit

It can be 30°C on the beach and chilly with strong wind at the top of Tahtalı. Take a light jacket and closed shoes for the Teleferik trip.

🚗

Pre-book your transfer

Tekirova has no airport of its own and is a 70-90 minute drive from AYT. A pre-arranged private transfer beats waiting for shuttles and stopping at other hotels.

💧

Plan around all-inclusive

Most resorts are all-inclusive and the village itself is small and quiet, so plan day trips (Phaselis, the summit, diving, boats) for the sightseeing variety.
