Turquoise water, Roman ruins, and the Mediterranean's most legendary riviera.
Antalya is the gateway to the Turkish Riviera — long sandy beaches and turquoise water meet Roman ruins and Byzantine timber architecture in the old town of Kaleiçi. The area is a convenient base: day trips reach the ancient ruins of Termessos and Perge, or the Köprülü Canyon National Park for white-water rafting.
