Overview

The City Behind the Clinic

Antalya is Turkey's capital of the Turquoise Coast — a Mediterranean city that's been welcoming visitors since Roman times, and one of the country's most visited destinations today. It's a genuinely different experience from arriving in a purely medical-tourism hub: you land into a real resort city, with beaches, a historic centre, mountains behind it, and a huge, mature tourism infrastructure that's used to international visitors.

For our patients, that means the days around your appointments don't have to be dead time in a hotel room. Betadent is based here because it's where we're from — this page is simply an honest look at what the city itself offers.

What You Can Actually Do Here

Kaleiçi Old Town — cobbled streets, restored Ottoman houses, and Hadrian's Gate, all walkable from the harbour.

The Old Harbour — boat trips along the coast, or just a walk among traditional wooden gulets at sunset.

Beaches — Lara and Konyaaltı are both minutes from the city centre, with Blue Flag-rated coastline.

Düden Waterfalls & Termessos — an easy half-day trip out of the city for anyone staying a bit longer.

FAQ

Common Questions About Antalya

  • How far is Antalya from the UK by flight?

    Around 4 to 4.5 hours direct from most major UK airports, with frequent flights year-round given how large Antalya's tourism industry is.

  • Is Antalya safe for tourists?

    Yes. Antalya is one of Turkey's most visited cities specifically because of its long-established, tourism-focused infrastructure, and the areas patients typically stay in (Lara, Konyaaltı, Kaleiçi) are well-used to international visitors.

  • Is English widely spoken in Antalya?

    In tourist areas, hotels, and at Betadent, yes. Our patient coordinators and dental team communicate with international patients in English throughout the process.

  • What's the best time of year to visit for treatment and a holiday?

    April–June and September–October offer warm weather without peak summer heat or crowds. July–August is hottest and busiest; winters are mild but not beach weather.
