With its history, sea, cultural assets and high quality tourism facilities, Antalya is known as the capital of Tutkish tourism. With Belek, Kemer, Side-Manavgat, Alanya, Lara-Kunda, and Kaş tourism centers, Antalya hosts more than 10 million foreign quests every year. Along with a cultural heritage deeply rooted in history,
Antalya’s coves and highlands of unique beauty, pristine beaches, comfortable hotels and marinas, colourful entertainment venues, and art-filled festivals all make it a tourist destination that offers endless possibilities to its guests.
These include the pleasure of sunbathing from sunrise to sunset; the natural thrill of outdoor sports in the grip of mother nature; the excitement of discovering national parks with their rich flora and fauna, ancient cities, museums and Kaleiçi; the mystery of the mountains and the peaceful Mediterranean coves drawing you away; the romance of watching an opera outdoors under the stars at night; sampling the unique delicacies of Turkish cuisine and enjoying the party scene. Meeting the hospitable people of Antalya is just another part of the pleasant holiday experience.

Scene around Kaleici. The old city center in Antalya
Antalya,
The beach is amazing and the views are the best I have ever seen. All this and the fact that it is on the doorstep of the major city of Antalya, make Konyaalti well worth the visit

You gonna enjoy swimming in this clean and beautiful beach. Tanning will be enjoyable and you will not forget this experience forever.

You…
Filled with shops selling artifacts, souvenirs and not too cluttered, this is a good place to pick up fridge magnets, keychains or the beautiful colored glass lanterns. Bargaining is a must and most shops accept Euros, Dollars or Liras. And along the tram line, there are Currency Exchange offices also, which is very convenient. People are friendly and the market…
