Mermerli Beach
Mermerli is Antalya's oldest beach right in the middle of Antalya Old Town. This little cliff side beach is a unique experience and gives you a spa-like feeling. Sunbeds, parasols and food & drinks service are included in the inexpensive entrance price.
Akyarlar Beach
Akyarlar is a beautiful hidden beach and if you are lucky you might be the only visitor there. The small climbing area was once in the guidebook but due to new road construction it was taken out. Getting off the highway exit is a bit tricky, follow the old road and a stony, steep rampage which leads you to the beach.
Phaselis Beach & Ruins
History and nature are intertwined in this romantically situated ancient Lycian port. Shaded by pines, the ruins of Phaselis are arranged by three small beaches. The most stunning are the Aquaduct and the Amphitheater. You will need to buy a day pass for entrance and there is a small snack bar.
Olympos Beach & Climb
Olympos valley has it all; sea, beach, nature, ruins and climbing rocks. Once an important Lycian city in the 2nd century BC, now more famous as beach resort. To get to the beach you have to cross the Olympos ruins and thus pay. Entrance to the beach is free from the Cirali end.
