Once seen only as the gateway to the Turkish Riviera, Antalya is today a destination in itself. Located right on the Bay of Antalya (Antalya Körfezi), the largest city on Turkey’s western Mediterranean coastline, it is both classically beautiful and stylishly modern.
At its core is the wonderfully preserved old town district of Kaleici (literally ‘within the castle’), which offers atmospheric accommodation in finely restored Ottoman houses in its winding lanes. The old town surrounds a magnificent Roman port with cliff-top views of misty blue mountain skylines worth toasting.
