Hurma is one of the fastest-growing neighbourhoods of Konyaalti in Antalya. It is chosen by people who value peace, greenery and a modern gated complex with a pool, with the sea a short walk or a few minutes’ drive away.

Kendirciler İnşaat has been building homes in Hurma and neighbouring Liman since 1999, with around 30 projects completed here so far. Here is what life in Hurma, Antalya is like and who it suits.

Where is Hurma in Antalya?

Hurma lies in the western part of the Konyaalti district, north of the seaside Liman neighbourhood and closer to the Beydağları mountains. The Boğaçayı river runs nearby and Antalya’s ring road passes close by, so from Hurma it is easy to drive both into the city centre and towards Kemer.

The distance to the sea depends on the part of the neighbourhood: from about 1 km in the south to 3.5 km in the north. Most residents get to Konyaalti Beach on foot in 15–25 minutes, by bike or by car.

The city centre is roughly 7 km away and the airport about 25 km.

History: from village to neighbourhood

Hurma is an old settlement — local sources speak of about 300 years of history. For a long time it was a farming village among orange and mandarin orchards. When the villages around Antalya became part of the city, Hurma became an urban neighbourhood of Konyaalti.

Traces of the past are still visible: old village houses, citrus orchards and a village coffee house more than 70 years old. In 2019 an ancient sarcophagus was found here during construction and handed over to the Antalya Museum.

Population: how Hurma has grown

Hurma shows how fast Konyaalti is growing. According to the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK):

• in 2007 it had 4,180 residents;
• in 2016, 20,423;
• in 2025, 28,545.

It is now one of the largest neighbourhoods in the district. Among foreign residents, the largest groups come from Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, and there are also Europeans, including Germans and British people. In summer the population grows noticeably with seasonal residents.

Atmosphere and pace of life

Hurma is often described as a “residential” or “dormitory” neighbourhood — and that is meant as a compliment. There are fewer cafés and tourists than by the sea and no busy promenade; in the evening the streets are full of families with children and neighbours walking in the parks.

What really sets Hurma apart is the greenery and the mountain views. Almost every block has a square or park with a playground and outdoor fitness equipment. Oranges, mandarins and olives grow in many gardens.

What kind of property is there in Hurma?

Most housing is in gated complexes (known in Turkish as “site”) made up of several 4–6 storey buildings with their own grounds. A typical complex has:

• a swimming pool and a relaxation area;
• a landscaped garden and a playground;
• parking;
• in higher-end complexes, a gym, hammam and security.

The upkeep of shared areas is paid through a monthly fee called aidat; the amount depends on the standard of the complex.

Unlike Liman, where there is almost no free land left, Hurma still has plots for new construction. That means more new-build projects and a wider choice of layouts, from 1+1 apartments to family-sized 3+1 apartments and duplexes.

Amenities in Hurma

Shops. Supermarkets from Turkish chains (Şok, A101, BİM, Migros), small independent shops, butchers and bakeries are within walking distance. Konyaalti’s shopping centres are a few minutes’ drive away.

Healthcare. There are pharmacies in the neighbourhood, many of them used to helping customers in English. Family health centres and Konyaalti’s private and public hospitals are a few kilometres away.

Schools and nurseries. Hurma has state schools, and private schools — including some with international programmes — operate in nearby Konyaalti neighbourhoods. When choosing a school or nursery, always check that it is licensed by the Turkish Ministry of National Education; this is a requirement for any school operating officially.

Transport. City buses connect the neighbourhood with the coast, the city centre and shopping centres, and cycle paths lead to the promenade. News and local services are published by Konyaalti Municipality.

Who is Hurma for?

Hurma suits you if you:

• are moving with children and want a calm, family-friendly neighbourhood;
• want to live in a gated complex with a pool and private grounds;
• value mountain views, greenery and quiet more than being next to the beach;
• prefer a new-build apartment to a resale.

Consider Liman instead if:

• you want to be on the beach within five minutes;
• you enjoy cafés, the promenade and an active life close to home;
• you are looking for a property to rent out short-term to holidaymakers.
