Antalya

Fly in or continue your odyssey through the Turkish countryside, past lovely lakes to the foot of the Taurus Mountain. On the way visit with a nomadic tribe and learn about their daily life which is as interwoven into the cycle of the land as are the colors and textures of the carpets they weave. Explore this mind beguiling city set on the shores of the Mediterranean with beautiful sunsets.

 

Walkthrough Hadrian’s Gate built in 130 AD, Visit the Archeological Museum, stroll along the twisting, turning streets of the old quarter, sip Turkish tea (cay) in the shadow of the sails of the many yachts docked in the harbor beside the old Roman walls.

 

Continue your Greco-Roman quest by visiting ASPENDOS, which has one of the best preserved theaters in the world. Its acoustics are so fine that a coin dropped on stage can be heard in the last row. A refreshing change of pace will be a visit to the stunning Kursunlu waterfalls. Then on to nearby PERGE whose extensive ruins include a stadium that once echoed to the roar of 15,000 spectators.

 

With its natural beauty and having a huge coastline, Antalya has a lot to offer besides the historical sites, you can take a rafting ride, take an off-road tour during your visits, sunbathe in the blue coast and even ski and swim in the same day.
