Which area near Antalya has cleaner beaches and better resort infrastructure?

Many people staying in the Antalya area, including long-term residents, actually haven't visited most of the region's sights — it's worth venturing beyond the beach zone.

Villa-style resorts with separate small buildings were preferred over one large hotel block: you step out of your room straight into nature, and the path to the beach has swings, hammocks under trees, benches with a cat shelter, plus beach towels available along the way.

Beach cleanliness depends more on crowd levels than the specific spot — this applies to both Lara and Konyaalti. Of the places visited, Kaş had the best infrastructure, though the visit was in May, before peak season.
