Antalya
The Turkish Riviera's capital — Roman ruins, turquoise water and an old town that predates them both.
Why Antalya
Antalya is the gateway to the Mediterranean coast and far deeper than its resort reputation. Behind the beaches sit Roman theatres, a walled old town of Ottoman houses, and waterfalls that drop straight into the sea.
We use Antalya as a base for the whole Pamphylian coast — the ancient cities inland, the quiet bays east and west, and the mountains that rise behind them.
What to see in Antalya
The places worth your time — and the ones we build a day around.
01
Kaleiçi old town
The walled heart of Antalya — cobbled lanes, restored Ottoman mansions, and a Roman harbour still in use.
02
Hadrian's Gate
A triple marble arch built for the emperor's visit in 130 AD, and still the grandest way to enter the old city.
03
Aspendos Theatre
One of the best-preserved Roman theatres anywhere, still acoustically perfect enough to host concerts.
04
Perge
A vast ancient city of colonnaded streets, baths and a stadium — usually walked in near solitude.
05
Düden Waterfalls
Where the Düden river drops off a cliff directly into the Mediterranean, best seen from the water.
06
Konyaaltı & Lara beaches
The city's two coastlines — pebble and sand — with the Taurus mountains as a backdrop.
