Lara is
a district of Antalya city, Turkey. Its famous beach, Lara
beach, is one of the longest sand beaches in Turkey. Lara
is the home to many themed 5 to 7 star hotels, mainly in the
Kundu area. Most of the hotels are replicas of famous places
around the world (for example Topkapi Palace, Venice, Kremlin)
which has led to the area being nicknamed "Las Vegas in Turkey".
The Lara name is Luwian for sand.
Just east of Antalya's rocky face, almost touching the Lower Duden Waterfall, there is Lara Beach, a stripe of land which pulls out to the Gulf of Antalya. All through the past years, tourists have learned that vacationing in Lara Beach always means keeping promises of trendy beaches, natural splendors and classy accommodation, and so, it wouldn't be wrong of you to expect the superlative of Turkey's Riviera.
If you travel from the city centre to Lara Beach, take the dolmus minibus which runs alongside the beach until where the public access area ends. It usually takes almost three quarters of an hour to get to the beach, provided that you drive east from the city centre, the Kalekapisi station.
