Hello! Please help with choosing a hotel for a family vacation on the Aegean coast of Turkey. The Antalya coast has become boring. I would like to see a new region, mountains and a comfortable entrance to the sea
I would be very grateful for advice in choosing a place and a hotel.

Where did you happen to visit in Antalya, what to see, what was "pall"? And I undertake to give you the advice you need, considering, mainly, the mountains, the sea, the beaches, the sights.

Antalya and all coast to Tekirova inclusive. The last time we drove to Kas by car ... then I mentally decided for myself that I need to open a new Turkey in the direction of the Aegean Sea.
In general, I want new places. I look at Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye - but it’s not yet very clear where the sea is without surprises - I read that somewhere it’s not very good ... either the river flows in and carries mud, or something else.

Olena7777 in order for you to specifically advise something, you need the following information
estimated budget
rest period
Number of rest days
Composition of tourists, 2 adults or children, if children, how old are the children
No budget Hillside Beach Club, Lujo, Six Senses Kaplankaya, D Maris Bay
аватар Vika284
You can open a new Turkey in another direction, Mersin and the Mersin region, the beaches are good and without much mass tourism from our countries and there are many attractions

Consider Fethiye if the Antalya coast is "pall". For example, Liberty, if the budget allows. The nature of Fethiye is mesmerizing.

Look through Marmaris, we rested in Green Nature Diamond 5 *. Bay, windless, the entrance to the sea is small pebbles. To the center of Marmaris 2 km, walked on foot to the singing fountains. You can take a ferry to Greece. But, I prefer the Antalya coast - the water temperature is much higher. Were in July and in Marmaris, and in Bodrum the water temperature did not rise above 22 degrees.

Good afternoon. Of course, this is the main thing - the water temperature is very different in Bodrum, Fethiye and Kemer, on the Antalya coast the water is much warmer. And you can get acquainted with several cities, especially if you are by car. I do not recommend stopping only in Marmaris - I have not seen such a viper anywhere - the sea is just a garbage dump. And Fethiye, Bodrum is nothing like that, of course, they cannot be compared with Kemer in terms of the beauty of nature (much worse), and the sea is much colder, but you should like it and again, forward to new experiences.
Sincerely, Vladislav.

I highly recommend Cheshme, Ilydzha village. Ideally, Radisson Blu, but there are plenty of more budget hotels. The entrance to the sea is very gentle, the water is light turquoise, the next time in Turkey I would go there.

Excellent mid-range hotel in Marmaris
Sentido Orka Lotus Beach 5 *, the nature is fabulous, the sea is beautiful in color and clear, in August the water is 25-26 (we had it), colder than in the Mediterranean, but we even liked it
аватар Olgaolga153
As for the sea water. I agree about Bodrum, there is the Aegean Sea, and it is cooler than the Mediterranean even in summer. But she is ready to stand up for Fethiye.))) Many times they broke the rest into parts. For example, the first half was spent in Fethiye, from there they moved to Kemer. And if in the evening in Oludeniz the water was + 26, then in Kemer the next day it will be the same (measured by our own feelings and a water thermometer). Now, for example, in Kemer water is + 21.7; in Marmaris - 20.7, in Oludeniz +22.4. I think in the lagoon another 1 - 1.5 degrees more.

If to Marmaris, then to Icmeler, if to Bodrum, then not to Gumbet.
аватар Vika284
Like Olgaolga153, she is ready to stand up for the entire region from Faralya to Canakkale
Fethiye region, Oludeniz, Marmaris + Icmeler, Akyaka, Guzelcamli .. by nature, mountains, forests, lagoons, beaches are not 1% inferior to the Kemer region
Bodrum, Alacati, Cesme, they are not so saturated in nature, but still there are green areas, but they have their own uniqueness
Marmaris, of course, in the city center the sea is dirty, but closer to the border of Siteler and Icmeler the sea is clean, in Icmeler itself the sea is clean, and where Datca is very transparent and turquoise
"if to Bodrum, then not to Gumbet" - Gumbet is my most convenient and favorite area, but yes, it is very specific. I choose a hotel closer to the border of Gumbet and Bitez (all hotels starting from Le Chic Bodrum towards Bitez), where the sea is cleaner and there is enough distance from clubs and noise.
In Bodrum, I do not like areas close to the cruise port of the city
аватар Igor_m
Let's deal with Antalya to the end, then we will move to the province of Mugla and get to Marmaris, where the Mediterranean Sea ends and the Aegean begins conditionally.
Cirali - four nights should be enough, Mount Chimera, the ancient city of Olympos and an amazing beach where turtles hatch early in the morning from July to mid-August. There are car rentals.
Adrasan bay, emerald water, entry into the water along pebbles, sand further from the water. Cirali is better.
Finike is a city of fishermen, a sandy beach about 10 km away, cheap apartments and hotels, few vacationers. To lie on the beach for a bit, swim further, I have never spent the night there.
Everyone was probably in Demre and Mir, but not everyone had a chance to observe from the ruins of the Simena fortress and the island of Kekova. As soon as the road began to go uphill from the sea beyond Demre, we drive no more than three km and turn onto Kekova (brown sign), drive all the way until the wheels start to fall off, leave the car and stomp up a little, then admire, have lunch,
аватар ollennka
Igor_m, there is a suspicion that the author doesn’t give a damn about all these Simena and Kekova with cheap apartments.)))) A person just wants a hotel and a comfortable entry into the sea.)))
аватар Olena7777
ollennka you are partly right. We usually book a hotel for 14-16 nights. We live there and in parallel we can leave for 1-3 days to travel in some direction. Sometimes we just arrange a one-day trip. We like that the children are also happy - we have three of them - they love water parks, and my husband and I enjoy such a vacation - where it alternates. But I don’t really want to live in apartments yet - purely for a woman - it’s difficult to disassemble and collect things for 5 people and think about food and all the nuances. Although in Europe we rested like that - we traveled around many places in one vacation
аватар Olena7777
Olgaolga153 Tell me please, since we have already started talking about water in that part - are there any chances that it will be at least 25 in July? Or should you not count on it?
аватар Olena7777
Vika284 About the budget ... I'm looking at non-luxury hotels. For example, I drew attention to the La Blanche Resort - it suits me according to the price tag - for 5 people for 13 nights 140,000. In principle, these are my parameters.
аватар ollennka
Olena7777, that's it. The hotel will feed, and clean, and wash. With small children, wandering around the apartments is not an option at all.
аватар Igor_m
we give a few lira to the kids (they demand a dollar) and return to the car.
Kas - immediately to the peninsula, to any hotel for a couple of nights. With beaches tension, but what kind of water is there !!! There is a special atmosphere, it can not be expressed in words. The town is small, cozy, friendly and inexpensive.
Kalkan - several small pebble beaches, all the houses are white, the streets rise up, clean to disgrace. Kalkan is a wonderful city in every respect, you should spend two or three days there.
But, one day you need to "spend" on Kaputas beach, it is seven to eight km towards Kas. Leave the car at the top (nowhere else), admire the beauty and go down to "champagne splash" - the most beautiful beach ever seen. The sand is yellow, the water is blue, there are some pebbles on the right side.
Everything, the coast of Antalya ends, but we will stay here for two or three days.
Gelemysh (Patara) - the birthplace of St. Nicholas, cheap hotels and guest houses, the longest sandy beach - 16 km. It's all right here for three days.
аватар Vika284
Until July, the sea will definitely warm up, if Bodrum, then for sure it was + 25-26, warm bays of Torba, Guvercinlik, Gumbet, Bitez, Gundogan, Gelturkbuku are needed
In Faralya, Oludeniz, Fethiye, Sarigerme - the sea will also warm up in July
la blanche resort is a good hotel, but it is open sea and not a bay, although the hotel itself has created a small artificial lagoon. There is no water park in la blanche resort
аватар Olena7777
Igor_m Thank you very much! Yes, we were literally in September in Kas and Kaputash. great places)

Muğla Province.
Oludeniz, Fethiye in advertising do not wait. In any of these towns, at least for the entire period. Close to Oludeniz is Kıdrak Beach, Butterfly Valley (no butterflies were seen).
Dalyan - morning and night fishing, the ruins of the ancient city of Kaunos, healing mud, pomegranate gardens, IZTUZU beach, walks to Lake Koycegiz (there you need to smear yourself with mud). A huge selection of cafes and restaurants, hotels, boarding houses, apartments. I want to go there all the time.
Marmaris - as close as possible to Icmeler, Icmeler himself, Turunc not very much, I didn't like it.
Bodrum - the beginning of the Aegean Sea, according to most reviews - well, I was not there, although I intended to visit in 2013.
Guzelcamli - a huge sandy beach (Long Beach), Dilek Park, the opportunity to stay in a villa, apartment, hotel. Closer to Kusadasi is a large water park. Forty minutes by car to Ephesus (Selçuk), three hours to Denizli (Pamukkale). There is a beach in Dilek Park "Icmeler " - necessarily.
аватар Igor_m
Dikili, Ayvalik, Assos - I had a chance to stop for the night once. I recommend to everyone in Assos - continuous relaxation.
Bozcaada Island - just to see, swim, eat. In the northern part, the water in August was +26, in the southern - +15.
Imbros Island (Gekceada) - nature, deserted sandy beaches, lakes, mountains and an extinct volcano. The ferry ride takes about an hour and a half. There are hotels, many fish restaurants. Near the legendary Troy and the beginning of the Dardanelles.
Here, if to be short, then so. Traveling with children is difficult, but I will take my two granddaughters to Turkey to these places, and by car from Kyiv. In two weeks we will spend about 3000 dollars, there will be no refusal of anything,
Good luck to you in our difficult business (rest)!
аватар Igor_m
In Cirali, in Dadyan, in Gelemysh, I watched holidays with children - moms and dads had no problems in anything - a bed, food, laundry, the best room. "What do you want?" heard continuously. People from all over the world have a rest, I made acquaintances with many, in particular with Italians from Milan, whom I visited in 2019.
Try to see the country, even if not far away from the hotel.

Last year we traveled along the route in this region (if you are interested in historical sights)
- Near Bodrum, Bargilla is an ancient city founded by Bellerophon (the hero is mentioned in Mission Impossible 2), there is a salt lake and mostly pelicans and pink flamingos fly there in autumn, but it happens that they can be seen in other months, there is Boğaziçi Sahili.
-Ancient Yasos or Iassos is located near Bodrum near Gulluk, there is a Roman mausoleum, the views are gorgeous
- The ancient city of Lagina is guided by Yatağan Yatagan, famous for the temple complex dedicated to Hekate
- The ancient city of Nisa is located between Denizli and Aydın, to focus on Sultanhisar, Nisa is the place where Dionysus grew up, the city was founded by the Spartans and the second ancient library after Ephesus was preserved there
-Laodikeia - very huge, many ancient buildings have been preserved in good condition, entire streets and ancient temples are guided by Eskihisar
аватар Vika284
After Laodicea we went to Pamukkale, very close by. And after Pamukkale we decided to go towards Manisa to Sardis, to navigate Salihla in the Manisa region
- Sardis is one of the most famous great cities of the ancient world, there is something to see there, it is very worthy competition to Ephesus
after we decided through Kusadasi to return back to Bodrum
and what Igor_m advised you Kusadasi - Guzelcamly, Dilek park-Buyuk-Menderes peninsula, Zeus cave, Davutlar thermal springs

Bodrum is not exactly the beginning of the Aegean Sea, the southernmost point (and the northernmost point of the Aegean-Mediterranean region) of the Aegean Sea and 100% of the Aegean region is the ancient city of Knidos located on Cape Deveboinu, it is not far from Datca
As an option, if you are relaxing in Bodrum, take a ferry to Datca - a very nice and beautiful city, I recommend the beach in the village of Palamutbuku (photo). Can you stay there for 1-2 days?
We stopped at Datca Suites 700 meters from the beach, the owners themselves bake bread, pies and make fruit jam, they have a garden and if there are fruits you can eat, there is a garden if you suddenly get bored and Villa Asina Hotel views of the island of Rhodes, the sea and the beach nearby, the owners also bake buns and pies for breakfast
Go to Cape Deveboinu, see Knidos and then you can go towards Marmaris and Icmeler
If the option where you rest is Marmaris / Icmeler, then you can also go to Bodrum by ferry. Deveboinu, Knidos, Datca are all in this region

I can't tell you about Bodrum. Year after year is not necessary. Here in July and +23 can be +25. From Marmaris and to the south (towards Fethiye) the water will be warmer. In Marmaris, the entrance to the sea is far from good everywhere. There are slippery stones covered with algae. In Icmeler, the entrance is good and the village itself is not very bad: canals, fountains, mountains nearby. Picturesque! But just in this area, cold springs are found in the sea. Near Pomujak. Sentido Orca lotus is a first line hotel with a nice beach. Normal family hotels of the Grand Yazici network (Marmaris Palace, Turban).
In Oludeniz (Fethiye) there are mostly small 3-4 star hotels, and they go at the price of budget Kemerovo fives. From the more or less normal Beljekiz Beach, SunCity. A little aside is a very good (and expensive) Liberty Lykia.
аватар Olgaolga153
You can also see Sarigerme. This is such a relaxing village near the airport. There is nowhere to go outside the hotels. But you can rent a car and visit the same Dalyan, Iztuzu beach, drive to Fethiye and Oludeniz (for a detailed excursion from Igor, see above). In Sarigerme, the beaches are mostly wide, sandy, sometimes with an admixture of pebbles. Most of the first line hotels with spacious grounds.

I won’t tell you about hotels, but the area is the most beautiful, in my subjective opinion, in Oludeniz.
