Why choose Antalya?

Antalya is the gateway to the Turkish Riviera and the country's all-inclusive capital. The resorts here are big, polished and genuinely good value, with water parks, kids' clubs and beachfront pools that make it easy to never leave.

When you do leave, there's plenty: the Roman theatre at Aspendos, the waterfalls at Duden, the old town of Kaleici, and the ruined city of Perge. It's a proper holiday destination with a proper history underneath.

Things to Do

Unmissable Antalya.

✦

Visit Aspendos Theatre

A Roman theatre so well preserved it still hosts concerts. Stand on the stage and test the acoustics.

✦

Wander Kaleici Old Town

Cobbled lanes, Ottoman houses, a Roman harbour and a marina full of boats. The real Antalya.

✦

Cool off at Duden Waterfalls

A park with a waterfall that drops straight into the sea. Great for a hot afternoon.

✦

Day trip to Perge

A vast Roman city site with baths, colonnades and a stadium. Bring water and a hat.
