There are ruins of the Roman city Augae in the vicinity. The road constructed by the Seljuk sultan Alaattin Keykubat I connecting Alanya to Konya and the Şarapsa Han built by Seljuk sultan Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev II (both in the 13th century) are in the vicinity.

In 1992, Konaklı was declared a seat of township.[2]

The town economy depends highly on tourism. There are over fifteen 5-star beach resorts in the town.

Green house agriculture and banana plantations are other profitable sectors.[2]

Healthcare

Healthcare in the town is mainly provided by two organizations:

  • Kemal Atlı Family Health Center (also called Kemal Atlı Aile Sağlığı Merkezi); a 9-to-5 state-owned minor-level primary care center which only serves the native population.[3]
  • Konaklı Medical Center (also called Özel Konaklı Polikliniği - Private Konaklı Polyclinic); a 24/7 private mid-level polyclinic and healthcare center led by Dr. Adnan Sarı M.D. wherein all physicians are multilingual as it predominantly serves the growing European population of the town.[4]
