The vibrant capital of the Turkish Riviera, where ancient history meets a turquoise coastline.
Antalya is the largest city on Turkey's Mediterranean coast and the gateway to the Turkish Riviera. Backed by the Taurus Mountains and fronted by a glittering bay, it blends a lively modern city with a beautifully preserved old quarter.
At its heart is Kaleiçi, the atmospheric old town of cobbled lanes, Ottoman houses and a Roman harbour. Around it stretch long beaches, cascading waterfalls and world-class museums, making Antalya a perfect base for exploring the wider region.
From Roman gateways to thundering waterfalls, Antalya rewards every kind of traveller.
A maze of restored Ottoman houses, boutique hotels and cafés winding down to the historic Roman harbour.

Antalya has hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Beach weather runs from May to October, with sea temperatures staying warm well into autumn.
April, May, September and October are ideal for sightseeing and day trips, offering pleasant temperatures and thinner crowds than the peak of July and August.
