Antalya holidays

Antalya, Turkey
The rocky southwestern Mediterranean coast of Turkey was completely undeveloped until the early 1980s so still offers some quiet spots among its fine beaches and dramatic scenery.

Antalya's airport is used for reaching resorts on the coast's eastern side. Destinations to the western side are served by Dalaman. Travellers should dress respectfully (no shorts / swimwear) when entering a religious building of any kind. It is advisable for women to cover their arms, knees and shoulders at all times when away from beach areas, as well as their heads when entering a mosque.

Food: Turkey takes great pride in its food and you'll generally eat better in Turkey than in neighbouring Greece. The best options will be found either in the larger coastal towns, or you may come across the occasional gem of a tiny family-run establishment

Nightlife: Antalya offers the eastern Coast's liveliest nightlife, with only Alanya and Fethiye coming close.

Shopping: Shopping options can be limited on the Turquoise Coast except in the larger towns, notably Fethiye Antalya and Kas.

Days out: Close to the central town of Fethiye are the ancient ruins of Lycian Telmessos. Dalyan on the western edge of the coast has an internationally famous beach that's a breeding ground for the loggerhead turtle.

Events: Antalya runs both a film and a song festival in September/October.

Alanya
