Do Antalya all-inclusive hotels serve plain Turkish yogurt at breakfast, and are water shoes needed because of sea urchins?

TL;DR

Plain unsweetened yogurt is available at breakfast in most Antalya hotels, usually served in large bowls near the vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce), along with ayran (a yogurt drink). Sea urchins are rarely spotted on the beach itself (mostly seen on boat trips), but water shoes are recommended because the seabed near shore can be rocky.

What the community said

Plain yogurt is served in large bowls, placed near the vegetable bar (tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce). No sea urchins spotted on the beach itself, only during a boat excursion. Water shoes were brought but barely used, since swimming is mostly done in the pool or from the pier.

Yogurt near vegetable bar

Ayran (a fermented yogurt drink) is available at breakfast, lunch and dinner. No sea urchins were encountered, though they might be near the pier. Water shoes were worn when entering the sea because the shore and entry point had a rocky bottom; not needed on the sandy part of the beach.
