Antalya, which is also known as the pearl of the Mediterranean region is the second charming city of the country. Once simply considered as the gateway to the Turkish Riviera, Antalya has become one of the most popular destinations in the world. Located on the Gulf of Antalya, it is the largest city on the western shoreline of Turkey which is perfectly classical and stylishly modern.

At its core there is this impeccably preserved old-city district of Kaleici, which offers sophisticated accommodation in finely restored Ottoman houses on its winding lanes. The ancient city wraps around a majestic Roman-era harbor with spectacular clifftop views of hazy-blue Mountains.

Just outside of this old city there are two beaches and one of the finest museums of Turkey. The old city walls can also be seen here, along with their embellished stone gateways. Hadrian`s gate which is also known as Üçkapılar is one of them. The monumental Hadrian`s Gate was erected in130 AD for the purpose of Roman emperor`s visit. The gate is said to be the best way to enter the old town which takes you directly into the charming and vibrant streets of the Kilininrslan district.

Easily accessible through public transport, Antalya Zoo and Nature Park is situated on the north of the city and is spread across 400 acres of land. A perfect spot to have some memorable time with family and childrthe en, as the park is a home to some 800 animals that includes cheetahs, zebras, camels, peacocks, African ostriches and pelicans.

Explore several caves and caverns that are located from just a slightly longer distance from the city. Beldibi Cave is also located past the Camdag tunnel at some 40kms distance from the Antalya-Kemer highway. The Beldibi Cave is open to public which includes both locals and inrnational visitors. Although it has been damaged by extreme weather conditions, it is still a valuable archaeological site, with artefacts discovered dating back to the Mesolithic Era.

The ancient city of Myra is located about 140km from Antalya. Be sure to visit Roman theatre, built in the second century and believed to have been used for the iconic gladiator battles during the reign of Marcus Aurelius for fights between beasts and between men; the iconic gladiator battles.
