Get to know Antalya
Antalya or Antalya formerly known as Adalia or Atalya is a city located on the Mediterranean coast in southwestern Turkey, and is the capital of Antalya Province. It lies on coastal cliffs and is surrounded by the mountains. Development and investment, which began in the 1970s, have transformed the city into a major international resort
Antalya is located in southwest Anatolia, on the Gulf of Antalya on the Mediterranean Sea, about 729 kilometers from Istanbul.
The Taurus Mountains in southern Anatolia form a group parallel to the Mediterranean Sea in the east and west direction, resulting in the formation of narrow coastal plains surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on the fourth. Some parts of the coastal mountains sink sharply into the sea, forming small bays and peninsulas. Antalya is located on a plain where the mountains recede from the shore, and consists of two flat areas composed of travertine rocks at an average height of 35 meters. The city center is located on a rocky plain closer to the coast, and with urban sprawl it extends inland to the Kibezosto Plain.
Antalya is considered a tourist destination par excellence. Although Antalya is known for its summer tourism, it is also one of the country’s leading cities in winter tourism. Saklikent Ski Center in Antalya and Akdag Winter Tourism Center in Alanya are among the facilities that maintain Antalya’s progress in winter tourism.
