Göynük

Göynük is the green corner between the Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, just a few kilometers from Kemer. The beaches have fine pebbles and crystal-clear water shaded by pine trees, while the promenade is calm, lined with terraces and small local shops. The star attraction is Göynük Canyon: wooden walkways between steep cliffs, natural emerald pools, zip-lines, and canyoning routes for adventure seekers; for a lighter version, you can simply cool off in the natural pools. In the morning, the sea is perfect for swimming and kayaking; in the afternoon, you can hike to waterfalls and viewpoints, and in the evening, relax in a hammam or enjoy a dinner of fish and meze.
Nearby, history and nature meet seamlessly: Phaselis (an ancient port with beaches among pines), the Olympos–Tahtalı cable car with its 2,365 m panoramas, the wild beaches of Çıralı–Olympos, and the eternal flames of Yanartaş. Göynük’s all-inclusive resorts are airy, with large gardens, aquaparks, and kids’ clubs, while boutique hotels offer peace for couples. The beach season lasts from May to October — spring and autumn are perfect for hiking, summer for swimming and water sports. Göynük is the ideal choice when you want a relaxed rhythm, nature close by, and easy access to all that the Antalya Riviera has to offer.
