Discover Antalya
As holiday makers we often dream of luminous blue seas, glamorous resorts and sunshine we can rely on. You'd probably have to say Antalya in Turkey is dream-worthy then. Antalya lies at the heart of Turkey's dazzling Turquoise Coast and its many popular coastal resorts. This thriving city offers a blend of ancient history combined with many modern family attractions.
Wake early and take in the beautiful sunrise over the Ottoman clock tower and Hadrian's gate. Both part of the historical district of Kaleiçi. A walk around the area will reveal old Ottoman houses, lovingly restored and used as shops and hotels. Hop on the inexpensive tram to the modern-day village of Aspendos, home to an impressive theatre, or dine on first-class food at high-end restaurant, Vanilla.
Come back from Antalya feeling revitalised
For those ready to tackle an epic adventure, the Lycian way coastal walk will allow you to meet the locals, stopping off at family-owned restaurants and taking in the awe-inspiring coastal and mountain scenery. Turkey has a keen focus on emotional and physical well-being, encouraging its visitors to try traditional baths, massages and yoga therapies too.
Never a last resort with blissful beach settings
4 and 5 star luxury resorts are everywhere on the Turquoise Coast and all-inclusive packages make for affordable holidays that remain aspirational too. Get on the beachfront and keep an eye out for turtles or work on your swing at one of the first rate golf courses.
