01
Olbia, Koyaltı and local memory
Ancient references to Olbia and later local place-name traditions belong to different evidence layers. Twentieth-century summer camps and gardens remain central to Antalyans’ memory of the coast.
KONYAALTI BEACH
From ancient Olbia and summer camps to Antalya’s urban shore.
Konyaaltı is both a beach and a record of how Antalya met the sea: ancient settlement, seasonal camps, cliff views, modern parks and everyday city life.

02
The modern beach and park system
The long pebble shore is served by parks, cycling routes, public sections and private operations. Sea depth can increase quickly, so families should choose supervised sections.
03
A full-day western city route
Combine the beach with Antalya Museum, the Aquarium, Atatürk Cultural Park and a sunset walk. Continue west only if traffic and daylight allow.
