Konyaaltı is a district of Antalya, Turkey. The name Konyaaltı (pronounced [konjaaltɯ]), which mean "below Konya", stems from the fact the city of Antalya was an administrative part of the city of Konya during the Ottoman Empire and the location of the beach is where the steep cliff of the city ends.

The water is a little cooler compared to other beaches of Antalya because of an underground creek flowing to the sea. There are modern underground facilities for aesthetical reasons.
