Staying in Kemer town centre means the beach, the bazaar, the marina and dozens of restaurants are all a short walk from your room. You do not need a car or taxis, you can head out for dinner on foot, and day trips and minibuses leave from right on your doorstep. This guide explains the advantages of a central hotel, what is within walking distance and who a central stay suits best.

Is the centre noisy?
In peak summer, streets near Bar Street and the marina can be lively late into the evening. Hotels a few streets away from the nightlife are noticeably quieter. Ask about the hotel’s exact location if you are a light sleeper.
