Discover Antalya

Antalya is where the Taurus Mountains drop into the turquoise Mediterranean. The old town of Kaleiçi is a maze of Ottoman houses, boutique cafés and a Roman gate, all leading down to a pretty harbour full of wooden boats.

Beyond the city are long sandy beaches at Konyaaltı and Lara, the Düden waterfalls tumbling into the sea, and some of the best-preserved ancient theatres in the world. It’s an easy, great-value beach holiday with plenty of culture on the side.
