Discover Antalya and surroundings

History

Antalya, founded in the 2nd century BC. BC by King Attalos II of Pergamon, who also gave it its name, is one of the most famous and largest cities on the Turkish Riviera, a beautiful coast with long sandy beaches. The city is located in a fertile area, which is why it has been settled by many peoples over the centuries. Agriculture is still dominant in the Antalya area today.

The Old Town Marina is the heart of the old town. Here you can feel the atmosphere of the Orient, you can watch the fishermen on their small boats or let yourself be approached for a boat trip.
