Lara Beach - fast-developing family resort on the Turkish Riviera
Lara Beach is a bright new resort 12 km east of the city of Antalya, on the western Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Many smart new hotels have been built here to serve a growing number of visitors seeking sun, fun and relaxation in a beautiful coastal setting. Lara Beach caters particularly well for family holidays as most hotels include pools and evening entertainment. A few kilometres away from Lara Beach is the Aquapark Dedeman, with waterslides and chutes providing hours of fun for the family. Antalya airport is 6 km from Lara Beach
Lara Beach - visit the Taurus mountains and Duden waterfalls
From Laura Beach it’s easy to explore the Taurus mountains which run parallel to Turkey’s south coast. Plate tectonics - the European and African plates colliding - have created this rugged 260 km wide range which provides walkers and adventurers with the perfect playground for hiking, rafting or caving.
The Bridged Canyon National Park (Köprülü Kanyon Milli Park) is a good day trip from Antalya. Here you can explore the ruins of a Roman theatre, see the ancient city walls, and the Temple of Zeus in the mountain town of Selge.
Just a few kilometres from Lara Beach are the Duden waterfalls, a spectacular cliff-side water feature.
Lara Beach - regional capital Antalya on the doorstep for shopping and culture
Visitors to Lara Beach can enjoy an extensive sandy Mediterranean beach, bars and pavement cafes, and traditional music and belly dancing in the evening. At nearby Antalya, there is an ancient city to explore, dating back to the Bronze Age, and boasting architectural traces of Byzantine, Roman and Seljuks. The old quarter, Kaleici, featuring quaint Turkish and Greek houses, is well worth a visit, and there is a marina, and a museum to take in. At Antalya you’ll also find great shopping - bustling bazaars and markets selling leather goods, clothes, jewellery and traditional woven carpets.
