Tekirova holidays

Holidays to Tekirova are your window to a Turkey that's still fairly undiscovered. This village encourages relaxing days on the pebbly beach, and nights in traditional tavernas.

Picturesque Tekirova

The village of Tekirova curves along Turkey’s Mediterranean coast. Size-wise, it’s tiny, but its scenery is of epic proportions. Terracotta-topped buildings tumble down from the pine-cloaked foothills of the Taurus Mountains, before coming to a halt on the cusp of a pebbly Blue Flag beach.

Relaxation HQ

Most people come here for R&R. Sunbeds cover the pebbles and the beach is divided into private hotel stretches, so you’re pretty much guaranteed a good spot. The warm seas are ideal for watersports, too, and you’ll find jet skiing, parasailing and banana boat rides on offer, plus snorkelling and dive trips out to nearby islands and coves.

Things to do

Away from the beach, Tekirova is pretty low-key. It’s still developing as a resort, and has just a clutch of restaurants and bars to its name. The shopping is a bit livelier, though. There’s an arcade stuffed with souvenir outlets and a lively Saturday market. For nightlife, your best bet is nearby Kemer, which heaves with bars and clubs. It’s about a 15-minute drive along the coast.

Daytrips

In terms of day trips, you’ve got quite a bit on your doorstep. The pine-covered peninsula of Phaselis is only 10 minutes’ drive away, and is speckled with Roman ruins. Get back to nature, meanwhile, with a hiking or rafting trip to the Taurus Mountains. And if you’re craving city life, head for Antalya, just along the coast. This bubbly seaside hub is home to a cobbled old walled quarter and a café-lined marina.
