Antalya

Antalya is the gateway to the Turkish Riviera and the largest city on Turkey’s Mediterranean shoreline. It has a 2,000 year old harbour, an Ottoman old town tucked behind ancient walls, and some of the best beaches in the country. Around the city you will find dramatic mountain landscapes, ancient ruins at Aspendos and Perge, and small coastal villages most tour groups skip. Every Antalya guide on Turkey Travel HQ covers what to see, where to swim, where to stay, and how to organise your time on the coast for 2026.
