City & Place Guide

Sun, sea, and ancient ruins on Turkey's turquoise coast.

Antalya is a vibrant Mediterranean city on Turkey's southwestern coast, blending a well-preserved Roman and Ottoman old quarter with modern resort infrastructure. The city serves as the gateway to the Turkish Riviera, offering dramatic cliffs, turquoise bays, and a backdrop of the snow-capped Taurus Mountains.

Kaleiçi, the historic old town, is a maze of narrow cobblestone streets lined with restored mansions, boutique hotels, and Roman-era ruins. Beyond the city itself, day trips to ancient Lycian and Pamphylian sites—Perge, Aspendos, and Side—make Antalya a strong base for archaeology enthusiasts alongside beach lovers.

  • •Kaleiçi (Old Town) — atmospheric Ottoman district with Hadrian's Gate and a Roman harbor.
  • •Antalya Museum — one of Turkey's finest, housing spectacular Greco-Roman sculpture.
  • •Düden Waterfalls — scenic twin falls, the lower cascade plunging directly into the sea.
  • •Aspendos — remarkably preserved 2nd-century Roman theater still used for performances.
  • •Perge Ancient City — expansive ruins of a major Hellenistic and Roman city just 18 km east.
  • •Konyaaltı Beach — long pebbly beach with clear water and mountain views within the city.

Getting around: Antalya has a useful tram (Antalya Tramvayı) running along the coastal strip and through the city center, plus an airport tram link. Minibuses called dolmuş cover wider areas cheaply. Taxis are plentiful but always insist the meter is running; BiTaksi is a reliable local ride-hailing app. Renting a car is the best option for reaching outlying ancient sites.

Best time: April through June and September through October offer warm sunshine, manageable crowds, and ideal conditions for both sightseeing and swimming.

Local food: Try piyaz (white bean salad with tahini), Antalya-style şiş kebab, fresh grilled sea bass, and tantuni wraps, washed down with freshly squeezed pomegranate or orange juice from street vendors.
