Konaklı Go Kart Karting Park

In Konaklı, a seaside resort west of Alanya on the Mediterranean coast, Konaklı Go Kart Karting Park offers an open-air track open to all. The outdoor layout is driven in the open air, a short walk from the long sandy beaches that make the area's name. It is a great outing for holidaymakers staying in the many hotels of the zone, after a slightly sporting activity between swims, and for families and groups of friends too.

Karting stays open with no licence or experience: a briefing, a helmet, and everyone heads off to find their best lap. The short format suits beginners as much as regulars, and the relaxed summer mood makes it an easy break to fit into a seaside stay. As the activity takes place outdoors, it is best to check opening times by season, as the high summer season is the busiest on this sunny coast.

Konaklı borders one of the finest stretches of the Turkish Riviera, a few kilometres from Alanya and its famous Seljuk castle perched on a headland. The Red Tower that guards Alanya's harbour, Cleopatra Beach and the Damlataş cave are within reach, as is the cable car that climbs to the citadel. Inland, the canyons and waterfalls of the hinterland offer a refreshing contrast to the heat of the coast. Gazipaşa airport, very close, and Antalya airport serve this coast, popular with visitors from Europe.
