Antalya, Turkey
Antalya, Turkey's principal holiday resort in the Mediterranean region (Pamphylia), is an appealing city with shady palm-lined boulevards and a prize-winning marina.
The golden Lara Beach is about 12 km to the east. Closer to Antalya, but to the west, the coarse sands and pebbles of Konyaalti Beach offers a view of the awe inspiring Taurus mountain range. A little further the Bey Dagi (Olympos) National Park and Topcam Beach provide more impressive vistas.
In the region surrounding Antalya there are sights of astounding natural beauty as well as wonderful historical remains. You can walk behind the cascade, a thrilling experience, at the Upper Düden Waterfalls, 14 km northeast of Antalya. On the way to Lara Beach, the Lower Düden Waterfalls plunge straight into the sea.
Antalya is also a good base for day-trips to nearby archeological sites such as Aspendos, Olimpos, Perge, Phaselis, Selge, Side and Termessos.
