Antalya Turkey

Antalya is a quaint city in Turkey right by the Mediterranean. Because of its long sandy beaches, this city is often considered to be Turkey's Riviera. Antalya's old city center lies above a steep coast. The important harbour in the south of the city, which dates back to Roman times, borders the long Konyaalti beach. Around the harbour lie cafes, restaurants, and cute and interesting shops for tourists. Tour boats lie on line, offering a splendid chance for photographs. Tours by boat are available day and night.

Antalya is in direct proximity to such popular tourist centers like Belek, Manavgat, Side, and Kemer. The area of Antalya is well-known for its fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits, which give the city a true Mediterranean feeling.
