Kiris Beaches
Kiris Beaches in Kiris, Turkey
Kiris Beaches are located on the Mediterranean coast in the resort village of Kiris, south of central Kemer. This stretch of shoreline belongs to the popular tourist area near Kemer, but is usually perceived as calmer than the beaches in the city center itself. Antalya is about 60 km from here, so it is convenient to get here both from Kemer and from Antalya Airport.
The coastline here is mostly pebbly, with sections of medium and large pebbles. The water along the coast often remains clear, especially in calm weather, and the color of the sea is clearly visible already at the water’s edge. Conditions may vary along different parts of the beaches: in some places the entry into the water is gentler, while in others the pebbles are larger, so swimming comfort depends on the specific spot.
Kiris Beaches are of interest to those who choose a seaside holiday near Kemer and prefer a combination of clean water, mountain views, and developed resort infrastructure. A significant part of the coast adjoins hotels, although there are also publicly accessible areas for swimming and walking. In season, you can not only swim and sunbathe here, but also enjoy the usual beach activities typical of the Kemer coast.
This place is suitable for tourists who want to relax by the sea not far from central Kemer, but not necessarily in the urban part of the resort itself. Kiris Beaches are often chosen by families, independent travelers, and hotel guests staying in this part of the coast. Before visiting, it is worth considering the type of beach covering and, if necessary, bringing water shoes.

The coast of Kiris stretches along the resort area between the sea and the foothills of the Taurus Mountains. On the beaches, you can swim, relax by the water, walk along the shore, and watch how the color of the sea changes depending on the light and water conditions. Thanks to the pebbles, the sea by the shore often looks cleaner and clearer than in sandy areas.
The beach surface is predominantly pebbly, so lying on a towel is not comfortable everywhere, and many people will find special footwear useful for entering the water. In sections belonging to hotels, there are usually sun loungers, umbrellas, decking, or piers, while conditions are simpler in the more open areas. When choosing a place to swim, it is useful to keep in mind that the depth and size of the pebbles can vary noticeably even within the same stretch of coast.
Near Kiris are central Kemer, the resort promenades, as well as natural and walking areas toward Camyuva and ancient Phaselis. If you are staying in Kemer, you can usually reach Kiris Beaches in a few minutes by taxi, bus, or dolmus heading south from the city center.
At the height of the season, the beaches can be lively, especially near large hotels, but outside the central sections you can find quieter places for a short отдых by the sea. Days without waves are suitable for snorkeling, when the water is especially clear. When planning a visit, it is worth taking into account the midday heat and the lack of sandy covering on most parts of the shore.
