Popular holiday spot in Turkey
A holiday on the Antalya shoreline offers secluded coves, ancient cities and harbours, seaside towns, sparkling seas and soaring cliffs. The city provides an excellent base for exploring the small towns nearby, as well as caves, waterfalls and Roman ruins.
Antalya is the main city on the Mediterranean coast and one of the most popular holiday spots, with an attractive harbour setting and the picturesque old quarter of Kaleici enclosed within ancient Roman walls.
Dominating the town is Antalya's symbol, the Yivli Minaret (Grooved Minaret) dating back to the 3rd century. The superb Archaeological Museum, housing one of the top collections in the country, is not to be missed. Shopping In Antalya is not only entertaining but offers plenty of picturesque photo opportunities, too. Haggling is expected, and bargains can be had along winding side streets in the old quarter.
After dark, Antalya pulses with what is undeniably the Turkish east coast's liveliest nightlife. Most holiday-makers head for one of the numerous restaurants in the Kaleici, but more adventurous gourmets might want to try one of the restaurants favoured by locals. There is a wide variety of clubs and bars, most doubling as discos after midnight, but those who just want a quiet, cool drink should gravitate to the waterfront bars to catch a sea breeze.
