Boasting Turkey’s longest beach, Lara has received its name from the Luwian word meaning “sand.” Lara is a holiday resort in many respects, and the famous holiday village Kundu is also located in Lara along with the Aksu River, one of the most beautiful rivers of Antalya, which flows over the Taurus Mountains passing by Kundu and reaches the Meditarrenean giving its name to the region. The shore of Kundu located adjacent to Antalya-Lara coast in the spot where Aksu flows into the sea, is worth seeing with pine forests and magnificent beaches. Lara is becoming an even more important holiday destination due to its proximity to the airport.
