What determines the popularity of the seaside resort? Who compiles the various vacation popularity ratings? How to determine the most popular resort in Turkey?
The level of fame of a particular resort can be indicated by people directly related to the tourism industry:
- travel operators engaged in the selection of tours for clients;
- representatives of the specialized press who conduct regular surveys of certain groups of the population;
- administrators of travel Internet portals who can track visitors' requests.
But there are still ministries of tourism, whose employees also carefully monitor the choice of travelers. On the basis of all these data, ratings of the most-most resorts are compiled.
The most popular resort - Alanya
Alanya
Alanya, which is located in the southernmost point of Turkey in the Antalya province, is the most popular among travelers. This is evidenced by the listings of travel sites and travel agencies. To explain why tourists en masse choose this particular town for their vacation, perhaps, the fact that the season here begins much earlier than in other Turkish resorts, and lasts until November. You can get to any hotel in Alanya in 20-30 minutes, because the international airport is located only 37 km from the city.
Sandy beaches, located in cozy coves, have a smooth descent into the water, which makes Alanya ideal for relaxing with kids. The best beaches suitable for children are located in the Avsallar area. Lovers of peace and quiet can settle in the hotels of the Mahmutlar area, famous for its lush banana groves. The length of local beaches, still designed for adults rather than children, is 5 km.
Alanya is great for those people who want to save money, but at the same time get a fairly high level of service. Compared to other Turkish resorts, you can relax here inexpensively, for example, in hotels in the Obagel district or in the old town of Alanya.

Kemer is the second most popular
Kemer
The second place in the rating "Turkey: the most popular resort" is confidently occupied by Kemer - a former fishing village, which just a few decades ago turned into a thriving resort. The sun shines here three hundred days a year, but there is no stifling heat. The average air temperature in summer reaches only 33 degrees, while in other resorts the thermometer rises to 45 degrees.
Kemer breathes easily, as the city is surrounded by orange groves and pine forests. This resort is suitable for families with small children and seniors who find it difficult to endure the heat.
Pebble beaches prevail in Kemer, but some hotels have taken care of the comfort of their guests and equipped small sandy areas on the shore.
Vacationers who prefer nightlife and active shopping stay in the central districts of Kemer. The villages of Tekirova, Kirish, Beldibi are more suitable for family recreation. The price level in Kemer is average.

Belek - luxury vacation
Belek
Belek is located 25 km from Antalya, where the international airport is located. Why is Belek included in the list of "Turkey: the most popular resort", because the cost of living in hotels here is much higher than in neighboring resorts?
The fact is that in 1984 the authorities of the province of Antalya decided to lay on the shores of the Mediterranean a new, fashionable, elite resort of Belek with five-star hotels, gourmet restaurants, golf courses and riding clubs. Since then, many tourist complexes have been built here, which are located among pine and eucalyptus groves. Belek offers its guests only sandy clean beaches marked with "blue flags", turquoise sea and the absence of strong winds.
