If you fancy a change of scene, Antalya’s old town (Kaleiçi) and harbour are within easy reach for Ottoman-era streets, bazaars and clifftop views – ideal for a half-day away from the sun loungers.

- shops, bars & restaurants (Lara Beach resort centre) 3.5km
- Antalya city centre & old town (Kaleiçi) 20km
