The Turkish resort of Belek, despite its young age, has already earned a reputation as the most expensive and prestigious holiday destination in Turkey. The proximity to Antalya airport, luxurious nature and luxurious five-star all-inclusive hotels have played a significant role in its popularization among vacationers with children.
Features of rest with children in Belek
Most often, wealthy people rest in Belek - businessmen or families looking for a quiet comfortable rest without fuss. The infrastructure of some hotels is so well thought out that guests are happy to spend all their time on the territory of the hotel.
However, if you wish, rest in Belek with children can be diversified by a trip to the ancient ruins of ancient cities (Aspendos, Perge) or by visiting the Troy water park, taking a walk in the park under the pine and eucalyptus trees growing in this region. It is also interesting for children to visit the dolphinarium or the zoo.
Many family hotels offer a children's menu, usually European cuisine, fresh pastries, milk, fruits and juices. For the parents of the youngest travelers, special corners are organized, equipped with a sterilizer, a microwave oven and a blender. In this case, you can take baby formulas and cereals with you.
Inexpensive Belek hotels for families with children can be found on the second line. Some distance from the beach is compensated by free transport running from the hotel to the beach and back. Public beaches in Belek are no less clean than private ones, but you will have to pay extra for sun loungers and umbrellas.

Reviews about family vacations with children in Belek
In general, reviews about the rest in Belek are positive. Tourists like everything here: the location of the resort, entertainment, beaches, impeccable service. The only drawbacks are high prices and lack of attractions. Belek is a young resort, it cannot boast of interesting architectural objects, so all fans of excursions will have to travel outside the resort area.
As for the pricing policy, the reputation of the five-star resort leaves its mark: taxis, food in restaurants, excursions and spa procedures are not cheap. Even a modest dinner in a Belek hotel restaurant will cost at least one and a half times more than in Antalya. Learn about the best restaurants in Belek.
