Antalya / Turkey |
| |
|
 |
Because of the
archaeological and natural riches of the
area, Antalya is also known as the
Turkish Riviera. The sun, sea, nature
and history combine to form a very
popular resort, highlighted by some of
the cleanest beaches in the
Mediterranean. |

The 630km shoreline of the province is
liberally scattered with ancient cities,
harbours, memorial tombs and beaches,
secluded coves and lush forests, many of
which are easily accessible from the
city.With its palm-lined boulevard,
internationally-acclaimed marina, and
old castle with traditional
architecture, all set amidst a modern
city, Antalya is a major tourist centre
in Turkey. In addition to the wide
selection of hotels, restaurants, bars,
nightclubs and shops, the city also
plays host to a number of sporting
events throughout the year, like
International Beach Volleyball,
triathlon, golf tournaments, archery,
tennis and canoeing competitions. The
Cultural Centre, which opened in 1995,
hosts cultural and art events in the
fields of music, theatre, and creative
arts. The main area of interest in the
city is central old quarter within the
Roman walls, known as Kaleici, and there
are many good museums
