Keys facts about Antalya City
A city of two halves
Sitting on the Turquoise Coast, Antalya’s centre is laced with high-rise hotels, thriving shops and bold architecture. In contrast, the city’s old quarter, Kaleiçi, is a maze of ancient streets. It’s pedestrianised, so offers a welcome escape from the busier parts of the city and the picturesque harbour is the perfect place to while away your days.
Tasty Turkish delights
From romantic restaurants to pop-up street food vendors, Antalya’s foodie scene allows you to be as daring as you like. Pick up a spicy lamb kofta or flaky börek pastry, before sampling a glass of the national drink – raki. And of course, not forgetting the cubes of juicy Turkish delight that come in every flavour.
