The
Antalya Region, offering all the mysticism of past in our day,
is now called the "Turkish Riviera" due to its archaeological
and natural beauties. Antalya is the place where sea, sun, history
and nature constitute a perfect harmony and which also includes
the most beautiful and clearest coast along the Medditerranean.
The city still preserves its importance as a centre throughout
history in the south coast of the country, in addition to its
wonderful natural beauties. The mythological city which housed
the Gods and Goddesses now exhibits all its secrets and marvels
to mankind.
Antalya
is also famous with its astonishing waterfalls. Duden and Kursunlu
are the most famous ones among them. Antalya is a world apart
with its long summers, mild winters, unpolluted waters and pebble
beaches. The snow remains on the top of Toros and Bay mountains
during hot seasons and you may swim in the warm waters of Mediterranean
at the same day. It's the pearl of Mediterranean. Combining history
and culture it deserves the title of "capital of Turkish
tourism". Kaleici where quaint Turkish and Greek houses are
under protection, is the most popular center in Antalya. Traces
of Byzantine, Roman and Seljuks architecture and culture can still
be seen in the rustic old town. Take time to visit the arcaelogical
museum which houses the finds belonging to historic ages of Anatolia.
