The city of Antalya stretches along the bay bearing its name, its rocky coastline sheltered by the mighty Taurus Mountains behind, and the caves close to the seaside add another dimension to the beauty of this region.


Antalya is one of the largest cities on the Turkish Mediterranean coast, its focal point being its attractive harbour with its narrow and winding back streets leading to the old city. The nearby coarse sand beaches are good for sunbathing, and it is a paradise for wind surfing, water skiing, sailing and even caving. The city is surrounded by a landscape of pine forests, olive and citrus trees and avocado and banana plantations.


This is an ideal destination for everyone with sun, sea, sand and shopping in the bustling city in the daytime and a vibrant, swinging scene at night. Restaurants, cafes, bars, indeed, the whole city, are dedicated to helping people enjoy their holiday.
