About Lara
Lara is Antalya's eastern resort strip, famous for golden-sand beaches and a row of grand themed five-star hotels. It is also where the Lower Düden Waterfall tumbles straight off the cliffs into the Mediterranean.
What to see near Lara
Lower Düden Waterfall — A cliff-edge waterfall that drops directly into the sea — best seen from the clifftop park or a boat. Lara Beach — A wide golden-sand beach, unusual on this otherwise pebbly coast, lined with resort hotels. Themed hotel architecture — The Lara–Kundu strip is known for replica-landmark hotels (Kremlin, Venice and Egyptian themes).
Local tips
• Lara's sand is rare on this coast — ideal if you dislike pebble beaches. • See the Lower Düden Waterfall from the clifftop park at sunset. • It is a resort strip rather than a town centre; the old town of Kaleiçi is a short taxi ride west.

Traveller reviews
Aspendos was the reason we booked and it didnt disappoint. The theatre is huge in person.
We took my parents on this one and it suited them well because the transport was comfortable and the stops were varied. Aspendos felt impressive even before the guide started speaking. Lunch was relaxed, and nobody pushed us through the ruins too quickly. It felt like a proper cultural day rather than just a photo stop tour.
The waterfall stop was pretty but crowded. The ancient sites were the stronger part of the day.
Our guide used old photos to explain the ruins, which helped us picture the places properly.
Aspendos was the reason I booked this tour, and it was even better in person. The theatre is huge, and our guide explained the acoustics and history in a way that made it easy to imagine how it was used. Side ruins were also more interesting with context. The waterfall was a pleasant final stop, though the ancient sites were the real highlight.
The guide was calm and knowledgeable. He answered questions without making it feel like school.
