WHAT CAN WE DO ON HOLIDAY IN ANTALYA?

Antalya, the Pearl of the Mediterranean as if a paradise on the Earth!



Turkey's fastest growing city, Antalya is blessed with an ideal climate (except during the searing heat of July and August) and a stunning setting atop a limestone plateau, with the formidable Beydağları looming to the west. In the heart of town, the pretty yacht harbour huddles below the Roman walls, while behind the new buildings the crescent of Konyaaltı bay curves to the industrial harbour 10km west of town. Despite the sometimes grim appearance of its concrete sprawl, Antalya is an agreeable enough city to live in, but the main area of interest for outsiders is confined to the relatively tiny and central old quarter within the Roman walls, known as the Kaleiçi (or "within the castle"). Three or four days in town – including half-day excursions to the nearby ruins of Termessos, Perge and Aspendos – should be sufficient.
You can make a time journey towards the depth of history by visiting the very rich historical heritage and also rest and relax in the  lab of the magical  natural beauties here in a peace of mind.
Due to the fact that Antalya is a real tourist center, there is a great infrastructue, many restaurants, shops, disco's etc. There is no need to get bored here. The old harbour is also the place for many open air events and concerts during the summer.

Thera are many excellent daytrips to be made in and around Antalya. The ancient sites of Aspendos,  Perge, Phaselis, Manavgat, Side and Termessos are all within a distance of 50 kilometers. Aspendos ampytheatre is the largest and better shaped of its kind. Every summers music festivals are being hold in the area, it has capasity of more than 20,000 people.
West of Antalya is called  Kemer where the mountain is more than 1500m high subparallel to the narrow shore line. The east of Antalya  has the best beaches and  the shore line is very wide. Make sure you visit Manavgat water falls while in the area.
