When to Get There
Summer visitors should head there in the morning or late afternoon when the heat is most bearable; escape the midday sun at one of the shaded restaurants of the Antalya Beach Park. It’s also worth sticking around after sunset, when the beachfront bars and cafés blast music and serve cocktails, offering a more relaxed alternative to the downtown nightlife.
