Antalya

Lara, Belek and Side on the Antalya coast The classic Turkish all-inclusive: huge resorts with buffets, pools and slide towers. Most serve alcohol, but some big Side family resorts list all their food as halal, and local restaurants generally serve halal meat. The big treat for a 10-year-old is The Land of Legends outside Belek, with dozens of water slides plus roller coasters; check what is open outside summer. This is the green alternative to Egypt, with forested mountains behind the beaches. Flights take around four hours, the sea is warm enough to swim from June to October, and June or September avoid the worst heat. The FCDO's only no-go zone is near the Syrian border, but its Middle East warning covers all of Türkiye.
