Tours to Kemer from Chisinau — Last-Minute Deals
Kemer is a resort on the Lycian coast of Turkey, where the Taurus Mountains come almost down to the water. People come for the clear sea, pine-scented air and pebble beaches, and most hotels are about an hour's drive from Antalya airport. Non-stop, the hop from Chisinau to Antalya is about two hours.
Your package covers return flights, a group transfer, a room on the meal plan you choose and insurance; only the trip to Chisinau is on you. Ukrainians need no visa. Compare operators for your dates in the tour search; a manager can also suggest a hotel within your budget.
Why Choose Kemer
- Mountains and sea in one frame. Mount Tahtalı rises almost 2.4 km above the coast, its slopes are covered in pine forest, and the pine shade softens the summer heat.
- Crystal-clear water. Pebbles do not cloud the sea, so off Kemer's beaches it is among the clearest on the Antalya coast, although a degree or two cooler than in Side or Alanya, refreshed by mountain rivers.
- Villages for every taste. From quiet Beldibi and Göynük to the lively centre with its marina and nightclubs, hotels line more than 50 km of coast.
- Sights. The Tahtalı cable car, ancient Phaselis with its three harbours, the eternal flames of the Chimaera near Olympos, Göynük canyon and boat trips to Pirate Bay.
Flight and Transfer
Charters from Chisinau land at Antalya Airport (AYT) after about two hours in the air; the main flight programme runs from April to October. Beldibi and Göynük are 40–50 minutes away, central Kemer about an hour, Çamyuva and Tekirova an hour and a quarter.

Kemer's Villages
- Beldibi. Closest to Antalya: a long pebble beach, mountains right behind the hotels and a relaxed atmosphere.
- Göynük and Kiriş. Family hotels, with Göynük's canyon and waterfalls close by; Kiriş has many five-star resorts with large grounds.
- Kemer centre. The marina, Moonlight Park with its sand-and-pebble beach, and pedestrian streets full of bars and clubs, for those who want nightlife.
- Çamyuva and Tekirova. The southernmost and greenest villages, close to Phaselis and the cable car; hotels here are spacious and quiet.
Kemer's beaches are mostly pebble, so water shoes come in handy. A mix of sand and small pebbles can be found in Çamyuva and in the town's Moonlight Park.

The swimming season runs from May to October; July and August are the warmest months, with the water reaching +27…+28 °C. In May and October the sea is fresher, but there is no heat and no crowds.

Documents
- Passport. You need an international passport with at least six more months of validity; Turkey's visa-free regime lets you stay for 90 days at most.
- ID card: fine for reaching Moldova, but fly to Turkey on your international passport.
- Tour documents. The tour operator emails the voucher, tickets and policy shortly before departure.
- Border. Exit restrictions under martial law mainly concern men liable for service and minors, so check them before booking.
