Kemer Go Kart

In Kemer, a seaside resort on the Lycian coast west of Antalya, Kemer Go Kart offers an open-air track a short walk from the sea. The outdoor layout is driven in the open air, in a setting where the Taurus mountains plunge straight into the Mediterranean. It is a popular outing for holidaymakers after a little adrenaline between beach days, and for families and groups of friends out to race each other.

Karting stays open to all, with no licence or experience: a briefing, a helmet, and you head off to find your best lap. The short format suits beginners as much as regulars, and the relaxed summer mood makes it an easy sporting break to fit into a stay by the water. As the activity takes place outdoors, it is best to check opening times by season, as summer is hot during the day on the Mediterranean coast.

Kemer is one of the most popular resorts in the Antalya region, tucked between the sea and the wooded slopes of the Olympos-Beydağları national park. Its marina, its pebble beaches and its clear waters draw divers and sailors, while the hinterland holds fine discoveries: the ancient city of Phaselis and its three harbours, the Göynük canyon and the eternal fires of Yanartaş, where natural flames rise from the rock. Antalya airport, less than an hour away, serves this whole stretch of coast, much visited by European travellers.
