I have recently returned from a family holiday to Antalya. We stayed at the Baia Lara hotel which is a 5 Star All Inclusive hotel on Lara Beach. The hotel is a fair way from the airport. I requested a room on a high floor looking towards the mountains and was given 6303 which was ideal. From there I could see all arrivals and departures but not the airport itself. If the aircraft were landing from the North I had to look through a gap between two blocks of flats to see the aircraft land.
From the pool area and other parts of the hotel aircraft, can be seen either landing or taking off. Typically they land over the sea until about 9:30 AM and then from then until about 9 PM they depart over the sea. With binoculars the type and operator of the aircraft can be clearly seen.There is a phone app called AYT which is very useful as it lists arrivals and departures including registrations. This includes airlines such as Uzbekistan which for some strange reason where not showing on FR24.
