Antalya has been hailed as the pearl of the Mediterranean, and it’s not hard to see why. Captivating coastline flanked by an upmarket marina, glorious turquoise water that stretches out to forever and some of the most beautiful golden sand beaches in all of Turkiye – Antalya holidays are anything but ordinary. Antalya is part of what’s known as the Turkish Riviera, which is also known as the Turquoise Coast, but don’t go making the mistake of thinking it’s all just sandy beaches and sun-kissed days by the water (although that does sound pretty great), Antalya City boasts a fascinating history that stretches back to ancient times. Intrepid wanderers can spend days exploring ancient cities and crumbling ruins, while the breath-taking Taurus Mountains are a hiker’s paradise. After all of that exploring, spend a few days soaking in some vitamin ‘sea’ on Lara Beach, which is home to a bunch of upscale beachfront hotels including some excellent family friendly options that don’t cost all of your Turkish lira. A resort city at heart, Antalya combines age-old traditions with modern amenities and a truly captivating coastline experience. If you’re dreaming of diving into a turquoise-hued Mediterranean adventure, Antalya is your place. Talk to our team today to start planning.
