Antalya, Turkey

City guide

Antalya

Antalya anchors the Turkish Riviera, pairing a walled old town of narrow lanes and a Roman-era harbor, Kaleici, with long beaches and a major charter airport. It is the gateway to the Lycian coast and to Roman ruins like Aspendos and Perge in the surrounding countryside.
