Kestel area and its beaches
Kestel is a district that has recently become one of the most promising areas for living along the entire Alanya coast. Situated between Cikcilli and Kargicak, it combines the advantages of proximity to Alanya's city center, developed infrastructure, and panoramic sea views. The district's main feature is its hillside location: most new residential complexes are built on elevated sites, offering stunning panoramas of the Mediterranean Sea, Alanya Castle, and the Taurus Mountains. Renting a sea view apartment in Kestel directly from the owner means waking up to a picture-perfect view every morning.
One of Kestel's key features is the presence of Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University, whose campus is located in this district. This creates a unique atmosphere: the area is vibrant year-round, with student cafes, bookstores, sports fields, and a well-developed youth infrastructure. Renting housing in Kestel near the university is a popular choice among students, faculty, and staff who want to live within walking distance of campus.
Kestel's beaches are predominantly pebbly and mixed, with crystal-clear water thanks to deep currents and the absence of mass tourist traffic. The entry into the water is gentle, but there are rocky areas in places, making the beaches more suitable for adults and teenagers than for children. However, you can find secluded stretches of shore here even in high season—a rare luxury on the Turkish coast. The coastal area features cafes, restaurants with sea views, and sun lounger and umbrella rentals.
The area's infrastructure is well-developed, with supermarkets (including Migros), pharmacies, banks, beauty salons, family restaurants serving Turkish and European cuisine, cafes, and bakeries. A farmers' market is held on Wednesdays, offering fresh seasonal fruits, vegetables, olive oil, and local honey. Families with children can enjoy playgrounds, sports areas, schools, and kindergartens. The proximity to the university campus also means modern sports facilities, libraries, and cultural amenities are readily available to residents.
Excellent transport accessibility makes Kestel convenient for those who value fast transportation. Regular dolmuş services connect the area with central Alanya (approximately fifteen to twenty minutes), Cikcilli, Kargicak, and other coastal areas. Gazipasa Airport is about thirty-five minutes away, and Antalya International Airport is just over an hour away.
Our apartments in Kestel are located in the area's most desirable locations: on elevated hills with panoramic sea views, within walking distance of the university campus, close to supermarkets and cafes, and close to the beach. Contact us, and we'll find the perfect apartment in Kestel for your needs!
When to visit: seasonal rentals in Kestel
Kestel is a region with a mild Mediterranean climate, offering a comfortable holiday experience most of the year. Its elevated location often makes it cooler than more crowded resort areas, and sea breezes make the summer heat more bearable.
High season is from June to September. The sea warms up to 26–28°C, and the air to 30–33°C, but the area's elevated position and sea breezes make the heat much more bearable. This is the time for those who want to combine a beach holiday with the active life of the area. The university comes alive during the summer months, with summer schools, sports camps, and cultural events. Rental prices in Kestel by the sea are higher during this period, but there is also a wider selection of apartments, and the infrastructure operates without restrictions.
The off-season is April-May and October-November. This is the "golden time" for Kestel: the air warms up to 22–26°C, the sea reaches 20–22°C, and nature blooms in spring or delights with golden colors in autumn. During the off-season, the university operates at full capacity: the academic year begins or continues, and the area is lively but without the crowds of tourists. Renting apartments in Kestel directly from the owner during this period is an especially advantageous solution: prices are lower, while the quality of housing remains unchanged. This is the ideal time for students, teachers, and anyone looking to combine study or work with a comfortable vacation.
Low season is from December to March. Kestel in winter is a vibrant city district. The university is open, students are studying, cafes and supermarkets are open, and dolmuş (travelers) operate on a regular schedule. Temperatures are 14–17°C, and the sea is cool for swimming, but many visitors enjoy strolls, studying, and the rhythm of the local community. Renting an apartment in Kestel, Alanya, for a long term during the low season is an especially good deal: monthly rent can be two to three times lower than in July. This is the ideal period for students, remote workers, and those looking to spend a few months in Turkey.
When is the best time for you to come? If you're looking for a beach vacation and a summer atmosphere, plan your trip for June-September. If you want to combine the sea with studying or working at the university, save money, and experience the area in its truest form, choose April-May or October-November. If you're looking for winter accommodation or a long-term rental near the university, low season will offer you the best prices and the atmosphere of a true university town by the sea.
Who would benefit from renting an apartment in Kestel?
Kestel is a district for a wide range of guests, thanks to its unique combination of university atmosphere, modern infrastructure, and proximity to the sea.

Renting housing in Kestel near the university offers the opportunity to live within walking distance of academic buildings, libraries, sports facilities, and student cafes. Renting an affordable one-bedroom apartment in Kestel is a popular choice among students who want their own space for studying and relaxing, but also value access to university infrastructure.

The proximity to the university also means access to modern sports facilities, libraries, and cultural events. Panoramic views of the sea and mountains create an inspiring environment for children's growth and development.
Remote workers and freelancers Kestel offers ideal working conditions: stable internet in most apartments, convenient cafes with outlets and Wi-Fi (including in university areas), and quiet residential areas for concentration. Turkey's time zone is convenient for working with Europe and the CIS countries, and after work, the sea, strolls along the promenade, or dinner at a restaurant are a great way to recharge. Renting an apartment in Kestel, Alanya, for a long term is a cost-effective solution for those planning to work from Turkey for several months.
Couples and newlyweds The area is prized for its romantic panoramic views of the sea and mountains. Renting a sea-view apartment in Kestel directly from the owner means waking up every morning to a picture that seems like a postcard: turquoise water, green mountain slopes, and the Alanya fortress in the distance. Dinner on the terrace with such a view becomes an unforgettable experience.
Retirees and visitors seeking tranquility with access to civilization, Residents choose Kestel for its balance between the quiet of a residential area and the accessibility of urban infrastructure. It lacks the bustling nightlife of tourist centers, but has everything needed for a comfortable life: supermarkets, pharmacies, medical facilities, cafes, and parks for strolls.

Why renting an apartment in Kestel is better than staying in a hotel
Many guests wonder: should they choose a hotel or an apartment? Each option has its advantages, but renting an apartment in Kestel offers something even the best hotel can't: space, freedom, and a sense of home in a neighborhood with a university atmosphere.
Firstly, there's the space. For the same price as a four-star hotel room, you get a fully equipped apartment with a separate bedroom, living room, kitchen, and often a spacious terrace with panoramic views of the sea or mountains. This is especially important for students, families with children, or those planning an extended stay.
Secondly, it's your own kitchen. You decide what and when to cook, buy fresh produce at the Wednesday farmers' market or at the Migros supermarket, and save on restaurant expenses. Morning coffee on the terrace overlooking the sea, and in the evening, dinner prepared with fresh ingredients.
Thirdly, it offers privacy and freedom of schedule. There's no noise from neighbors down the hall, no breakfast schedule, and no need to adhere to hotel rules. You live at your own pace: whether you want to wake up at dawn to catch the sunrise overlooking the sea, or sleep until noon and take your time.
Fourth, it feels like a "vacation home" rather than a hotel room. This is especially noticeable during longer stays—from a week to several months. The apartment becomes your place to relax, host guests, work in peace, or simply spend evenings reading a book on the balcony overlooking the mountains.

Rental duration: from a week to a year
One of the main advantages of renting an apartment in Kestel is the flexibility of your stay. We understand that every guest has their own plans: some come for a short week, others for a semester, and still others plan to spend several months or even a year in Turkey. That's why at Uptrend Homes Group, you'll find options to suit any length of stay.

Renting an apartment in Kestel, Alanya, for a long term during the academic semester is a popular choice among students and university faculty.

Advice from Uptrend Homes: If you're planning a trip during peak season (June–September) or the start of the school year (September–October), book your apartment in advance.

For the shoulder and low seasons, booking one month in advance is sufficient.
What is paid additionally during your stay?
The basic rental price includes accommodation in a fully furnished and equipped apartment, use of all the complex's amenities, and support from our manager throughout your stay. Utilities are also included during your stay: electricity and water, according to meter readings recorded on your arrival and departure days, as well as final cleaning of the apartment upon your departure. This approach allows you to pay only for actual consumption and ensures transparent billing.
We inform guests in advance of average consumption rates so you can plan your budget, and we help you pay for utilities using a convenient payment method. In most cases, additional expenses remain reasonable and won't cause any surprises at the end of your stay.
Guest support throughout the entire stay

How to get to Kestel from the airport
Kestel is conveniently located between Alanya and Gazipasa Airport, making it particularly attractive for those who value fast transportation. The distance and travel time depend on your arriving airport.
Gazipasa Airport (GZP) is the closest airport to Kestel, approximately thirty-five kilometers away and a drive time of approximately thirty-five to forty minutes. It is a small regional airport with regular flights from many cities in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Europe. Getting from Gazipasa to Kestel is possible by taxi (approximate cost: 30–40 euros), Uptrend Homes' transfer service, or rental car.
Antalya Airport (AYT) is the region's largest international airport, located approximately 165 kilometers from Kestel. Travel time by car is approximately two hours, depending on traffic conditions. Regular buses run from Antalya to Alanya, and from there, dolmuş (dolmuş) services run to Kestel. However, the most convenient option is to book a private transfer or take a taxi (approximate cost: 115–145 euros).
We can arrange private transfers from both airports for our guests in comfortable cars with professional drivers. The driver will meet you with a sign in the arrivals area, help you with your luggage, and deliver you directly to your apartment door. This is the most comfortable option, especially if you arrive late in the evening, are traveling with children, or have a lot of luggage. You can book your transfer in advance—we'll take your flight time into account and, if necessary, track its status to ensure the driver arrives on time, even if there's a delay.
If you prefer to travel independently, we'll advise you on the best way to book a taxi, what to consider when renting a car, and which public transportation routes connect the airports with Kestel. Our managers are always available to assist with logistics, from purchasing tickets to meeting you at the airport.
