Kemer is one of the easiest places in Türkiye for a family holiday: calm bays, a short transfer from Antalya Airport and plenty of child-friendly days out. Choose the right hotel and the right time of year, and both children and parents get a proper rest. This guide covers what to look for in a family hotel, the best things to do with children and the best months to travel.
What to look for in a family hotel
- A children’s pool: a separate, shallow pool is the most important safety detail for young children.
- Room layout: family rooms or connecting rooms make a big difference for larger families.
- Children’s menus: smaller portions and familiar dishes at breakfast and dinner.
- Baby equipment: cots and high chairs you can request in advance.
- Location: being able to walk to the beach and the shops saves a lot of time and hassle with children.
- Child pricing: check up to which age children stay free or at a reduced rate.
Big resort or quiet family hotel?
Kemer’s large resorts often have kids’ clubs and entertainment programmes, which suit families who want children busy all day within the hotel. If you’d rather set your own pace and explore Kemer, a smaller family hotel in the town centre can be more relaxing and better value.
Things to do in Kemer with children
- Moonlight Beach and Park: green space and the sea side by side in central Kemer.
- Yörük Park: an open-air park showing traditional nomadic life in the Taurus Mountains.
- Boat trips: day trips from Kemer Marina with swimming stops in calm bays. See our guide to boat tours from Kemer.
- Olympos cable car: ride to the 2,365 m summit of Mount Tahtalı; bring warm layers, as it’s much cooler at the top.
- Göynük Canyon: easy walks and cool water for older children.
- Phaselis: explore an ancient city and swim in its sheltered harbours. See our Phaselis guide.
When to go
June and September are the most comfortable months for families: the sea is warm and the beaches are calmer. July and August can be very hot, so plan beach time for the morning and late afternoon. For events during your stay, see our Kemer events calendar.
