Antalya Hotels
Antalya is a thriving, sun-kissed metropolis set on Turkey’s southwestern Mediterranean coast. The city beautifully blends the historical and modern, with ancient fortresses, mosques and towers aligning sleek glitzy buildings that house enormous resorts and spas. Antalya boasts seemingly endless stretches of pure-white beachfront, and calmly ebbing warm aquamarine waters. With dozens of diverse historical sights, narrow streets full of niche boutiques, and a buzzing nightlife of live-music bars, Antalya makes for an all-encompassing urban getaway.
Things to see
Start your enthralling Antalya morning with a visit the historical city centre, known as Kaleici. The skyline sings with red-roofed houses, spearing silver-capped spires, and deep green palms. The streets are lined with a rare mix of Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman architecture. Visit Hadrian’s Gate, a still-standing rocky Roman fortress ruin. Then, amble over to Yivliminare Cami, an ancient mosque boasting a unique fluted minaret that towers above the surrounding palms. As the afternoon sun drips like honey over the cobbled streets, head to the beach for a refreshing dip. Lara beach, one of the longest sand beaches in Turkey, offers uncrowded spots for sunbathing and opportunities for thrill-seekers to experience heart-pounding water sports, such as waterskiing and parasailing. As the evening draws in, stroll through the green grounds of Karaalioglue Park toward the centre, and indulge in Antalya’s many mouthwatering seafood restaurants and bouncing bars.
Hotels in Antalya
Antalya boasts a jaw-dropping range of 5-star hotels, most of which are strung like pearls along the western beachfront. These hotels and spas, set in glimmering white-washed modern buildings, boast enormous rooms, epic pools, indulgent 24-hour in-room service and sweeping grounds of paradisal palm trees. For more affordable Antalya hotels that offer the same easy beachfront access and resort vibe, stay in one of the many stylish 3-star complexes. If you’re looking for a more traditional stay, central independent 2-star hotels - where the ancient walls are washed with flowers - provide atmospheric and affordable accommodation.
Where to stay
For a true taste of Antalya’s ancient history and flourishing local charm, stay in the old centre of Kalieci, where the streets dazzle with ancient ruins and the terracotta walls echo with the sound of zurna flutes and hypnotic drum beats. Stay west of Kalieci for a sun-washed stretch of unblemished beachfront, with the magnificent modern resorts beside it and the green-swept mountains rising in the distance. For immediate access to Antalya Airport, stay in the district of Muratpasa, a more modern central area that blends contemporary business construction with ancient architectural wonders.
How to get to Antalya
Antalya is well served by a local airport that offers a number of international flights throughout Europe. From the airport, a short 15 minute shuttle bus ride will find you in the heart of Antalya’s bustling cobbled streets. A series of buses operate throughout the city and surrounding villages, meaning that getting around without a car is a breeze. Why not explore the city in style by hopping on the quaint Antalya tram, which runs throughout the day to all of the city’s main sights. If you do want to drive, however, many affordable car rentals are available.
