Kemer is an easy place to travel alone: the town centre is compact and walkable, minibuses link the coast, and day trips, boat tours and activities make it simple to meet people. This guide covers where to stay as a solo traveller, how to keep costs down, getting around, activities that suit solo travellers and staying safe.
Where to stay
- Kemer centre: The beach, marina, bazaar and restaurants are walkable, which saves on taxis and makes evenings out easy. See our Kemer centre guide.
- Guesthouses and small hotels: Usually the best value for one person; ask about single-occupancy rates.
- Çıralı and Olympos: Guesthouses and bungalows with a social, outdoorsy atmosphere. See our camping and glamping guide.
Keeping costs down
- Travel in May, June, September or October.
- Use minibuses (dolmuş) along the coast instead of taxis.
- Eat at local eateries in the centre rather than the marina.
- Swim at public beaches, which are free.

Staying safe
- Share your plans with someone, especially for hikes.
- Use licensed taxis late at night.
