I have driven the coastal route to Antalya via Kalkan, Kas, Demre, Finike, Kumluca, and Kemer. Apart from the rather dull road from Fethiye down the Esen valley, the journey is full of spectacular coastal and mountain sights. Gets a bit busy after Kemer but the rest of the journey is along mostly empty roads. Best thing to do is to skip Antalya entirely and all its boring shops (yawn). We look our time, stopping for most of the interesting sites, and stayed overnight in the mountain village of Beycik, a few kilometres off the main road, overlooking Tekirova.
