Antalya Travel Guide

Antalya is located on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, also known as the Turkish Riviera. This is a beautifully rugged region; in fact, Antalya holidays offer a good selection of well-established beach resorts and many popular excursions if you want to venture further.

The Riviera is the most diversified region in Turkey - endless sandy beaches, the impressive backdrop of the Taurus Mountains as well as numerous ancient sights like Aspendos, Side, Perge and Phaselis in short distance to the holiday resorts. Lush gardens and pine trees underline the beautiful landscape. Many lonely bays welcome travellers for light-hearted holidays.

The town of Antalya sits on a cliff above the sea and is surrounded by mountains. The old centre has narrow cobbled streets and is a favourite haunt for shoppers. There is an impressive old town and an antique harbour with many restaurants along the waterfront.

There is a wealth of handicrafts in Antalya available for the discerning shopper. Traditional items such as the world famous hand made kilims (rugs) in bold colours, beautifully hand-painted ceramics, copper and brassware and ornate Meerschaum pipes make charming souvenirs and gifts.
Excellent quality gold, silver and leather goods are to be found at prices considerably less than outside Turkey.
Busy street markets (the most central one takes place on Wednesdays between Isiklar Street and the Talya Hotel) are packed full of stallholders jostling to sell you their best quality fruit and freshest vegetables. Aromatic spices and herbs such as cinnamon, saffron, paprika and mint entice the senses.
For more stylish boutiques Antalya can offer excellent quality fashion clothes and accessories for a fraction of the price in Europe. Look no further than Ataturk Street, Konyaalti street, or the recently opened shopping mall called Migros 5M (situated on the Konyaalti Beach side of town).

In Antalya and surrounding areas there are numerous places to satisfy the appetite ranging from pavement cafes serving traditional food, to restaurants offering international cuisine.

Traditional Turkish food is very tasty and includes stuffed peppers and vine leaves, kebabs and of course feta cheese, olive and tomato salads. Rice dishes are also popular.

The national drink of Turkey is Raki which is aniseed flavoured.

Hadrian's Gate

Despite the overwhelming passage of time, the eastern ramparts of the old city seem to have beautifully preserved the Hellenistic and Roman force which has been carved in the ruins, endlessly molding themselves into the beautiful historical and archaeological edifices that can still be seen today.

The most noteworthy historical site is the ever fresh-looking colossal triple-arched sandstone entryway, Hadrian's Gate, built by the Turkish people as a tribute to Emperor Hadrian back in A.D. 130.

Antalya Aquapark Waterplanet

The Antalya Aquapark is the best opportunity for you to get away from the bustle of the city. A whirlpool of thrills, the Aquatic Park meets all expectations, suitable for all ages!

A choice of 23 spiraling waterslides, quite a few artificial wild rivers that wind their way through the dramatic cliffs, extremely large water pools covering as much as 65,000m will get your heart pumping and your adrenaline flowing.

Perge / Excursion

Founded around three thousand years ago, the chief trade city of the ancient Perge was built inland, 12 km from the Mediterranean, to prevent the pirate raids that constantly plundered the coast lines.

About 18 km northeast of Antalya is the ancient and imposing vestiges of Perge; the ancient city boasts great days of richness throughout the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine eras.

Termessos / Excursion

Termessos was a Pisidian city built at an altitude of more than 1000 metres at the south-west side of the mountain Solymos in the Taurus Mountains. It lies 30 kilometres to the north-west of Antalya. Termesos is one of the best preserved of the ancient cities of Turkey.

Termessos constitutes an unusual synthesis of a large number of rare plants and animal species, which are under protection in the Termessos National Park. You can find a multitude of wild plants and bounded by dense pine forests, the site, with its peaceful and untouched appearance, has a more distinct and impressive atmosphere than other ancient cities. Because of its natural and historical riches, the city has been included in a National Park bearing its name.
