The Property — Turkuaz Apart
Turkuaz Apart is a no-fuss three-star in central Kemer, built around a pool courtyard with a small bar. It’s clean and functional, aimed at couples or small families who want a base near the beach rather than a resort-within-a-resort. The lobby is modest – tile floors, a reception desk with a bowl of complimentary apples – and the staff are efficient in a way that says ‘we’ve done this a thousand times’. You stay here because it’s solid value, not because it’s photogenic.
Chronicles of Kemer
Kemer started as a fishing village but was transformed from the 1970s as part of Turkey’s first wave of mass-tourism development along the Antalya coast. The town itself is modern, built around a marina and a long boulevard of hotels and shops, with the Taurus Mountains as an abrupt backdrop. Architecturally, there’s little pre-1980 fabric – the charm is in the pine-backed beaches and the planted palm avenues, not the buildings. Today, Kemer is a purpose-built holiday town that draws a mix of European package tourists, particularly Russians and Germans, and Turkish families from Antalya and Ankara. Its cultural identity is summer-seasonal: eat, swim, hike in the national park, and sleep.
Best Time to Visit
Full Kemer guide →Best months
May, June, September – warm sea, strong sun but not scorching, and fewer crowds than July–August.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the absolute peak: schools out across Europe, flight prices double, hotels like Turkuaz Apart often sell out 3–4 weeks ahead. The main driver is summer holiday demand, plus a weekend of the Kemer Festival in late August (folk music and dance). Room rates can rise 30–50% above June levels.
Budget shoulder season
Late September and May offer the best value: sea still warm (25°C+ in Sep), day temperatures 27–32°C, and hotel prices drop 20–40% below peak. Fewer stressed families, more space on the beach.
Weather & packing
July’s heat can spike to 40°C, especially inland – pack a wide-brim hat and high-SPF for the midday sun. Despite the heat, the sea breeze makes evenings pleasant, so bring a light cardigan for dinners on the terrace.
Live City Briefing — Kemer
- The new Antalya-Kemer dual carriageway extension opened late 2025, cutting transfer time from the airport to about 40 minutes – less traffic jams through the tunnel section.
- A large section of the Kemer marina promenade has been repaved and replanted, with more shaded seating added – completed May 2026.
- Beach umbrellas and loungers on the main Kemer Belediyesi public beach now require a paid token (about 15 TL per set) from the municipal office, introduced June 2026 to manage overcrowding.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Turkuaz Apart, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3-5, facing the pool or garden side, away from the main road. These floors avoid street-level noise and have better outlooks without being too high for the lift.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor due to noise from the reception, hallway, and early-morning foot traffic. Also avoid rooms facing the street (likely the front side) as Kemer's main road can be busy with traffic and nightlife until late.
Best views
The best view is from a room on floors 4-5 facing the pool or garden (typically the back side). If the apartment faces the sea side (possible given Kemer's coastal strip), a sea-view room would be excellent, but this depends on orientation.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 5 are quietest, as they're above street hum but below any roof-level equipment. The lift serves all floors, so mid-range floors minimise disturbance from people waiting for lifts.
🔊 Noise notes
Kemer's main boulevard runs along the coast, so front-facing rooms hear traffic, scooters, and karaoke from nearby bars until late. Delivery trucks service the hotel's ground floor in early morning. The lift can be audible if you're next to it; request end-of-corridor rooms.
Insider tips
1. Request a pool-view room when booking; this usually means a quieter side of the building. 2. The lift is small and slow in peak checkout hours (9-11am); if on floor 4 or above, use stairs to save time.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Turkish Lira, TRY
Avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and touristy spots; use ATMs from major banks (e.g., Ziraat, Garanti) for better rates, but watch for dynamic currency conversion.
Credit and debit cards widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and shops; contactless is common, but carry cash for small vendors and taxis.
Round up taxi fares; leave 5-10% in restaurants if no service charge; tip hotel staff 20-50 lira for good service.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Turkish tea or filter coffee at a local cafe; about 30-40 lira.
Lahmacun or dürüm from a local börekçi or kebab shop; around 100-150 lira.
Pide or a simple meat dish at a lokanta (local eatery); main course 200-250 lira.
Simit, roasted corn, and chestnuts from street carts along the beachfront promenade.
Migros and BİM are common budget chains; A101 also good for basics.
Walk along the main streets near the marina for affordable high-street stores; market stalls in the old town sell cheaper casual wear.
Dolmuş (shared minibus) runs along the coast and into town for 15-20 lira; cheapest from Antalya Airport is the Havaş airport bus (about 200 lira) to Kemer town.
Eat at lokantas away from the marina for genuine local prices; use dolmuş instead of taxis; buy snacks and water from Migros or BİM rather than tourist kiosks.
