Antalya is a sunny sea city on the Mediterranean coast with a rich history from antiquity to Ottoman times. Its narrow streets of the Old Town and spacious embankments combine the atmosphere of a resort and a cultural center, where citrus trees, pomegranate gardens and the sound of the surf create a unique mood. The city attracts both history lovers and those who are looking for a beach holiday, and its surroundings keep traces of ancient civilizations and wild natural corners.
The man-made sights of Antalya are impressive in variety: the majestic Hadrian Gate is a well-preserved triumphal arch, the Khydyrlyk Tower off the coast and the ancient Old Port with an atmosphere of marine stories. In the historical center there are the Murat Pasha Mosque and the Iskele Mosque, churches and the temple of Nicholas the Wonderworker, as well as a monument to the Seljuk Sultan Giyaseddin Keikhusrev I. Fans of science and entertainment are waiting for the Antalya Oceanarium, and archaeological pearls - the ancient cities of Termessos and Demre (World) - are transferred to the era of antiquity. The incredible caves of Karain and Beldibi reveal the ancient natural history of the region.
The natural attractions around Antalya are no less impressive: the picturesque waterfalls Duden (upper and lower) and Kurshunlu, where water falls into green lakes; the long beaches of Konyaalti and Lara, as well as the wild Patara and pure Olympos with pine groves. The Antalya Bay and Turtle Island (Island of Unfaithful Wives) are beckoned by boat trips and watching marine life, while the mountain park-reserve of Düzlersham and the Tauride Mountains offer hiking trails and panoramic views. The Manavgat River and Lake Karajaoren are great places for natural photography and quiet walks.
On our site, all these places can be viewed on an interactive map: each point is marked, there is a brief description and photos, time for inspection and tips for visiting. You will be able to quickly assemble your own route, pave a logical path between beaches, waterfalls and historical monuments and estimate the distances and travel time. The map will help to combine a beach holiday with a cultural program and make a convenient plan for a day or a few days.
You can explore Antalya yourself: following the marked routes, walking around the Old Town and enjoying the promenade, you will discover many unexpected places. If you wish, you can book excursions with local guides: experienced guides will tell historical and natural stories, conduct archaeological excavations, organize sea walks and thematic routes. Excursions will allow you to better understand the context of places and see the innermost details that are not always noticeable on your own inspection.
Come to Antalya to see the combination of cultural heritage and natural beauty with your own eyes. Plan your trip in advance, mark the sights, make routes and go to meet new discoveries: this city will give you vivid memories, warm sea and stories that you will want to return to again.
