Old-town lanes, mountain views and long sandy beaches.
Antalya is the gateway to the Turkish Riviera. Its walled old town, Kaleiçi, is a maze of Ottoman houses, boutique hotels and cafés around a Roman harbour, entered through the 2nd-century Hadrian’s Gate.
Long beaches stretch either side of the city, with the Taurus Mountains behind, and the golf resorts of Belek and the Roman theatre at Aspendos are within an hour.
