Lara is one of the most sought-after districts in Antalya due to its variety of luxury-themed hotels and the famous Lara Beach area. Lara Beach is situated in Antalya’s Old Town, so it is around 20 minutes from Antalya Airport.

With all the amazing waterparks, pools, restaurants, hotels, and golden sand beaches in this area, it is a great summer escapade for families and sea-borne adventurers. From Lara, you can also access Kekova Island via a boat trip and explore its well-known underwater ruins and ancient town that was submerged by an earthquake.
