Tourexpi
With
its Mediterranean climate and over 300 days of sunshine, the city invites
visitors to swim at its Blue Flag beaches and bask in the sun. Long beaches,
ancient cities, museums, and Mediterranean flavors come together to create a
timeless oasis.
Antalya's
autumn weather is still warm, with sea temperatures perfect for swimming. With
233 Blue Flag beaches from Alanya, Kemer to Kalkan, the area offers luxurious
accommodations for all ages. The warm seas extend the water sports season,
making Antalya a paradise for divers, with its underwater caves and vibrant
marine life. Kaş, one of the top global diving destinations, is a jewel for
adventurers. Rafting in the Köprülü Canyon and canoeing over Kekova's ancient
underwater ruins provide thrilling experiences for adrenaline seekers.
Where
Antalya Stands, Rich History and Nature Combine
Nestled
between the Mediterranean and the Taurus Mountains, Antalya seamlessly blends
history with nature. The old town, Kaleiçi, and the archaeological museum
reflect the city's vibrant past. Nearby, explore Manavgat's waterfalls
and Kaş's Saklıkent Canyon and Patara Beach. Fall is
perfect for visiting ancient cities like Perge, Aspendos, and Patara, each offering
glimpses into the cultures of Lycia, Pamphylia, and Pisidia. For nature and
history lovers, trekking the Lycian Way under the autumn sun provides a
peaceful and immersive journey through time.
Endless
Experiences from Cycling to Gastronomy
Antalya
offers more than just beaches and history. Rock climbing in Geyikbayırı or
golfing at Belek's prestigious courses add to the adventure. Discover caves
like Damlataş and Karain or enjoy cycling along Kemer's scenic routes. Food
lovers will appreciate Antalya's Mediterranean cuisine, from şiş köfte with tahini
piyaz to seasonal seafood like Lagos fish baked in salt. Pair it with local
mezes and Turkish wines, and finish your meal with burnt ice cream.
You
can reach Antalya via direct flights from major cities or a 1.5-hour flight
from Istanbul. Upon arrival, options to reach the city center include renting a
car, taking a taxi, or using a shuttle service.
Must
Do: Catch a thrilling performance at the Aspendos Theatre, one of the
best-preserved worldwide. You should also include Patara and Demre in your
exploration list to visit the lands where Santa Claus was born, grew up, and
became legendary.
Must
See: Ormana Village, set at the foot of the Taurus Mountains in Antalya, is
worth visiting because of its button houses, one of the best examples of
Türkiye's vernacular architecture.
And
Don't Forget! If you visit Antalya in November, don't miss the Antalya
Culture Route, offering concerts and exhibitions from November 2 to 10.
