Camping for all seasons in Antalya

Whatever your preference, whether by the sea, amongst the trees, near an ancient city or canyon, Antalya has a place for you. Grab your camping equipment and book a flight to Antalya. During any season, you can explore the beautiful camping sites of Antalya. Besides camping, you can go climbing, parachute and soar above the sea. The pristine Mediterranean Sea is also great for diving.

In the past, Korsan Koyu (Pirate Bay), was a bay where ships would gather to shelter from storms and is a favorite spot for camping enthusiasts. Toilets and water are available at Korsan Koyu and any other supplies you need can be found at nearby shops and markets. When you’re camping at Korsan Koyu, there’s something you have to watch out for, mosquitoes. We recommend that you add mosquito spray to your camping equipment. During your stay at Korsan Koyu you can go on a pleasant tour boat journey, hike on the Likya Yolu (the Lycian Way), and if you have climbing training, climb at certain areas.
