Konyaaltı (Antalya)

The western half of Antalya's beachfront. Konyaaltı is more lived-in than Lara — a long pebble beach backed by the Taurus mountains, a walkable boardwalk, and an expat scene heavy on Russians, Germans, and Brits who've been here 5+ years. Olga, our Russian persona, lives here. The 2024-26 Russian wave (~200k+ in Antalya province) is concentrated in this corridor.

💡 Local Tips

Look for buildings post-2000 for current earthquake codes. Saturday Konyaaltı pazar (off Atatürk Cad) is the local farmers' market — bring cash. Buy your own beach mat at A101 — pebbles are sharp.
