Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Kemer

20 stays · 14 aparthotels and 6 serviced apartments

Kemer is a seaside resort on the Turkish Riviera, and its mix of resort hotels, marina and mountain scenery makes aparthotels and serviced apartments a practical way to stay. Many visitors arrive on all-inclusive packages, but an apartment-style base with its own kitchen suits families who want to eat on their own schedule, groups travelling together, and the walkers and mountain bikers who now come for the Lycian Way and the hills.

Where to stay in Kemer

Kemer town and marina

  • first-time visitors
  • no car
  • evenings out

The town centre is organised around the clock tower, where all local buses stop, with a hotel quarter and the main beach to the east. The 320-berth marina has restaurants, and Moonlight Beach lies just east of it. Several of the town's night clubs cluster at the north end of the beach, so check how close a property is if you want quiet evenings.

Getting around Kemer

Kemer has no airport of its own. Antalya Airport is the usual arrival point, and the Wikivoyage guide notes that the coastal highway puts Kemer within an hour of it. The Türkiye tourism agency gives the Antalya to Kemer transfer as roughly 45 to 60 minutes by dolmuş (shared minibus), taxi or hire car. There is no direct municipal bus from the airport: Wikivoyage describes taking a bus or tram to Antalya bus station and changing there.

From Antalya bus station, bus TA07 runs every 15 minutes to Beldibi, Göynük and Kemer, and TA08 every 30 minutes to Kemer, Çamyuva, Phaselis and Tekirova, according to Wikivoyage. Within town, the main buses start at the marina, and yellow taxis are common. Kemer's own bus station is about 1 km west of the centre, and coaches arrive from almost every city in Turkey.

Living in Kemer for longer

Tourism is the mainstay of the local economy, and daily needs are easy to meet. Wikivoyage lists convenience stores open daily around the clock tower, including Oscar, Şok, A101, Migros and Carrefour, which makes self-catering straightforward from an apartment. The marina is also a wintering-over base for liveaboard sailors, although the clubs by the beach close for the winter.

If you plan to work remotely or stay several weeks, choose between the centre, for walking to shops, and a village along the strip, where you will rely on buses and taxis. For a wider look at moving for work, see our relocation guide, or read aparthotel vs hotel to compare room types.

When to visit Kemer

Kemer has a hot Mediterranean climate: very hot, long, dry summers, and cool, rainy winters, with temperatures often above 40 °C at the height of summer. The Türkiye tourism agency describes the weather as generally sunny and dry from May to October, with peak-summer highs in the mid-30s °C, and recommends spring and autumn for walking and day trips. The sea stays warm into autumn.

Outdoor activities run for much of the year. The Lycian Way, a 540 km waymarked trail from Fethiye to Geyikbayırı, passes through the area, and the Olympos cable car rises to the 2,365 m summit of Mount Tahtalı in about 10 minutes. Spring visitors may spot the rare Kemer orchid in the forests near Göynük, and sea turtles come ashore to nest at Çıralı beach in summer.

The district covers 412 square kilometres and had 49,383 residents in 2022, with the western Taurus Mountains behind 53 km of sea coast. Until the early 1980s it was a quiet rural area; a road, then state-planned infrastructure funded by the World Bank, turned it into a major part of Turkey's tourism. Our Turkey hub lists other resorts along this shore.
