An affordable holiday in Kemer is entirely possible. What really moves the price is the type of hotel, the area and, above all, your travel dates. The same room can cost far more in mid-July than in early June, and a town-centre hotel a short walk from the beach is usually much better value than a beachfront resort. This guide explains what drives hotel prices in Kemer, the best-value months, how hotels compare with guesthouses and apartments, and practical ways to protect your budget.
Five things that set hotel prices in Kemer
- Season: July and August are the busiest and most expensive months. May, early June, September and October are cheaper and calmer.
- Type of property: Large resorts and all-inclusive holiday villages bundle many services into the price. Small town-centre hotels and guesthouses are simpler but cheaper.
- Distance to the sea: Beachfront hotels charge a premium. Hotels a few minutes’ walk from a public beach offer a good balance.
- Board basis: Room only, bed and breakfast, half board, full board and all-inclusive change the nightly rate considerably.
- When and where you book: Early and direct bookings are often better value. See our guide to early-booking and last-minute deals.
Kemer month by month
| Period | Prices | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| April–May | Low | Spring weather, ideal for hiking and cycling; the sea is still cool. May brings Run to Sky. |
| June | Medium | Warm sea, crowds not yet at their peak. Often the best value of the summer. |
| July–August | High | Hottest and busiest. Book early. |
| September–October | Medium–low | The sea is at its warmest and the crowds thin out. October hosts Sea to Sky. |
| November–March | Lowest | Quiet winter season, popular for nature trips and sports camps. |

Hotel, guesthouse or apartment?
- Guesthouses (pansiyon): Small, often family-run and the cheapest option. Pools, restaurants and 24-hour reception are not always available.
- Apartments: A kitchen cuts food costs on longer stays.
- Small and mid-sized hotels: Pool, breakfast and daily housekeeping at a lower price than big resorts. In Kemer town centre the beach, bazaar and marina are walkable, so you also save on transport.
- Resorts and holiday villages: Large grounds, several pools, entertainment and all-inclusive packages, at a higher price. Compare the options in our guide to choosing a hotel in Kemer.
