Forming part of the Turkish Riviera, Göynük is a laid-back beach resort town between Kemer and Antalya. It’s a popular family-friendly destination for summer getaways while attracting experienced kite and windsurfers in the winter months.
Stretching the entire length of Göynük is a pebbly beach where you can swim, sunbathe and participate in a range of water sports. Beach loungers and umbrellas are available for rent and there are a handful of beach bars where you can grab a drink and enjoy the Mediterranean Sea views.
Travelling with kids? Don’t miss a visit to Dinopark Antalya, a family-friendly theme park that boasts life-size animatronic dinosaurs and screens 7D dinosaur movies. You can get up close to horses and ostriches in the petting zoo or enjoy a stroll through the fragrant lavender garden. Also on site is a splash park with kid-friendly pools and water slides.
