Antalya Konyaaltı Liman- Gürsu Mahallesi Bicycle Tour 16 Jan 2026

A bicycle tour from Liman to Gürsu/Altınkum is one of the most scenic and relaxing urban rides you can take in Antalya. Since both areas are located in the Konyaaltı district, you’ll be pedaling along the western coast with the Mediterranean on one side and the Beydağları (Taurus Mountains) on the other.
Here is everything you need to know for this ride:
1. The Route & Terrain
Distance: Approximately 3–5 km (one way), depending on your specific start and end points.
Terrain: Exceptionally flat. The entire coastline has been modernized with a wide, dedicated blue-painted bicycle path that is physically separated from car traffic.
Duration: A leisurely 15–20 minute ride, though most people take longer to enjoy the views.
2. Key Highlights Along the Way
Boğaçayı Bridge: As you leave Liman, you’ll cross the bridge over the Boğaçayı River. This area has been developed into a beautiful park and is a great spot to see the mountains reflected in the river.
Konyaaltı Beach Promenade: The path runs directly alongside the famous pebble beach. You'll pass numerous "Beach Park" style cafes, seating areas, and modern landscaping.
Gürsu/Altınkum Hub: Once you reach the Gürsu/Altınkum border, the area becomes more "local." You’ll find high-end cafes (like Starbucks or local patisseries) just one block inland if you want to take a break.
3. Practical Tips
Bike Rentals: If you don't have a bike, look for the Antbis (Antalya Municipality) smart bike stations. There is usually one near the Liman side (close to the marina) and several along the Gürsu coastline. You can rent these via a mobile app or a kiosk card.
Best Timing: * Sunrise/Sunset: These are the "golden hours." The sun setting behind the mountains to the west is spectacular.
Avoid Midday: Even in winter, the sun can be intense. In summer, the coastal path offers very little shade.
Safety: While the bike path is separate from cars, be mindful of pedestrians who occasionally wander into the blue lane, especially near the cafe clusters in Altınkum.
4. Extending the Ride
If you find the ride to Gürsu too short, the path continues for several more kilometers toward the Antalya Museum and Varyant. This extension takes you past the "Beach Park" entertainment complex and offers a slightly more elevated view of the sea.
