Konyaaltı is a coastal district west of central Antalya, set below the Taurus mountains along a long pebble beach and seafront promenade. It suits beach lovers who still want the city and Old Town within easy reach.
The district stretches along the Konyaaltı seafront, with a wide walking-and-cycling promenade, parks and the mountains as a backdrop. It's more open and modern than the Old Town, pleasant for daytime beach strolls and relaxed seafront evenings.
