    Antalya, Turkey

Turkey in pictures - Antalya

  • Antalya

    Protected on one side by the Taurus Mountains, bathed on the other in the blue waters of the Mediterranean, the region of east Antalya has in a few years become the flagship destination for seaside tourism in Turkey. Its success is due to its beautiful sandy and pebble beaches, bordered by particularly clear water, as well as modern and varied tourist facilities. Fans of relaxation will find a setting and service to their measure. Sporty people will be able to practise a variety of water activities here, as well as being engaged in the pleasures of hiking, golfing or climbing. As for the curious, they can discover many natural and historical sites. Occupying a central place in the bay, Antalya is a city that is pleasant to stroll around. Its major public parks planted with palm trees, its marina and its Roman walls give it a very charming Mediterranean charm. Its old city is full of beautiful wooden houses of the XVIII and XIX centuries, arranged for the neccessities of tourism, in accommodation or souvenir shops. There are however very few tourist hotels in Antalya itself. The majority are found on the coastline stretching over 93 miles either side of the city. They often have the benefit from direct access to the sea and a spectacular setting. The Antalya region enjoys a particularly mild climate. It is said here that the sun shines 300 days a year, and even in mid winter it is rare that the temperature falls below 15 °C. The bay of Antalya offers a succession of beach resorts popular with German and Russian customers.

Destination overview

Abundant in history, nature and beaches, Turkey can cater to the needs of just about anyone, all year round. This is a country brimming with mosques and churches alike, all with fascinating stories to tell. The fascinating lunar landscapes at Cappadocia, the desert lands of the east, and the coast around the Bodrum peninsula are all major attractions for the traveler in search of new and fulfilling experiences, not to mention the wealth of activity and buzzing nightlife in Turkey's best known city, Istanbul. For those wanting a more beach orientated trip, the Turkish coasts are full to the brim with stunning coves, bays and beaches. Standing as the sole bridge between Europe and Asia, Turkey is a truly exotic destination, and barely a stone's throw away.

pros

  •  This completely exotic destination is only four hours from London and yet easy on the purse-strings.
  •  A broad array of holiday choices: weekends, seaside stays, archeological discoveries, excursions, caïque cruises (traditional wooden hull boat) and even skiing in winter!

cons

  •  The language barrier in places outside of the tourist zones
  •  Some seaside resorts, such as Antalya or Izmir, have sometimes suffered due to hotel expansion and overdevelopment. The coast has lost its originality (which is not so much the case with Bodrum).
  •  The string of earthquakes have left their mark.
  •  The Kurdish issue.

Turkey Holidays in Turkey, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

Turkey cannot be discovered in just one trip. If you can only spare a weekend, head straight for Istanbul. Several different types of visits can be made within a week: a comprehensive stay in Istanbul, seaside holidays, an excursion to Cappadoce, or a cruise along the Mediterranean coast in one of the typical wooden yachts.
