Lara Plaji (Lara Beach)
east of Antalya is a l-o-n-g beach
of gentle waves, darkish sand, and
some small pebbles.
Most parts of the
beach are backed by commercial
services offering beach
chairs, sun umbrellas,
snacks and drinks, showers and
perhaps even some entertainment.
The beach begins east of Antalya's falez (cliffs),
just past the Lower Düden
Waterfall (Asagi Düden Selalesi).
East of the waterfall a point of land
extends into the Gulf of Antalya. Hotels,
restaurants and other services host
visitors who swim mostly from docks
and platforms.
The real sand beach
starts on the east side of the point
and extends for several kilometers.
The first major installation is Lara
Halk Plaji, with beach services
organized by the city of Antalya.
Beyond this municipal beach are various
private commercial installations which
bear numbers (1 to 8) and fantasy names.
I'd suggest that you have a look at
Lara Halk Plaji first, and if this
doesn't fit your needs, go farther
east to find one that does.
If you don't want to rent a beach
chair and umbrella, or use the other
services available, find one of the
vacant parts of the beach, spread your
beach towel, and soak up the sun.
You can reach Lara Plaji from the
center of Antalya by dolmush minibus (No.
18, 30 or 77). The minibuses run all
the way along the beach to the
end of the public access area. The
ride from Antalya city center near
Kalekapisi to the eastern end of the
beach takes
about
45 minutes,
a few minutes less if you're only going
as far as Lara Halk Plaji.
Antalya's other beach, Konaalti
Plaji,
west of the city, has coarser sand
and more pebbles, but better beach
installations, and is
quicker and easier to reach by tram
or minibus from Kalekapisi.
