Antalya Tourist Attractions and Antalya Sightseeing
(Antalya, Turkey, TR)



Antalya, one of Turkey's most popular holiday destinations, is the capital city of the province of the same name and filled with tourist attractions. The popularity of Antalya is largely fuelled by its large selection of sights of interest, its exceptional coastal attractions and its very pleasant Mediterranean beaches.

In the summer season, the city swarms with visitors and the atmosphere in Antalya is lively as holidaymakers and tourists grab their fill of sun, sand and sea. For genuine local history, a trip to the neighbouring ancient city of Perge is a must, where cultural attractions and activities abound.
