Accommodation Guide in Antalya Lara
About the Lara Region
Lara, one of Antalya's most prestigious tourism destinations, derives its name from the Turkish word
"Water Fairy" and means "Sand" in the Hittite civilization. This meaning perfectly reflects the region's
golden sandy beaches and its unique connection with the Mediterranean.
Lara Beach, one of the longest beaches in Turkey, offers a fascinating experience with its uninterrupted
golden sandy coastline exceeding 10 kilometers. This Blue Flag certified beach stands out with its
natural beauty and high cleanliness and safety standards.
