Is Antalya Popular With British Tourists?
Antalya is considered to be one of the most popular holiday destinations among the British.
And this is clear why:
- mild climate
- visa-free travel
- short direct flight
- minimal jet lag compared to the trips to Caribbean islands or Southeast Asia
- stunning modern hotels with a huge relaxation area, comfortable sandy beaches and an all-inclusive system
- no language barrier, as most of the locals speak English.
For families with small kids, this is generally a lifesaver in all respects:
Hotels provide babysitting services and kids clubs where children play and communicate with each other, while their parents enjoy the time on the beach or in a spa or in a bar or doing some water activities.
Which is the best area to stay in Antalya?
Well there is no direct answer to this question.
It all depends on whether you prefer to relax in a secluded hotel area or around some city area.
Whether you would like to be surrounded by some picturesque nature views or mountains or not.
Whether sandy or pebbly beaches do matter for you and many other aspects.
It is often easier to choose a holiday area in Antalya by the hotel or the services that are offered there, for example, water parks, adults only hotels or a 24-hour all-inclusive.
In this article, I tried to highlight the most important criteria needed when choosing a hotel and place for vacation and made a list of the most recommended options.

Заключение
Even if you have already been to the Antalya coast of Turkey once or more than once, and some of the hotels from my list are familiar to you, I still recommend you to consider them for your future travels.
The region is actively developing, the hotel’s interior and territory are constantly being updated, and the quality of service is continuously improving.
Therefore, even those places that might be familiar to you, can open from a new perspective or give some new pleasant emotions to you.
