Antalya
Known as the “Turkish Riviera” for its archaeological heritage and natural beauty, Antalya brings together the sea, the sun, and history in perfect harmony. Here, you can discover the pristine beaches of the Mediterranean. The 630 km coastline is adorned with ancient cities, harbors, sarcophagi, golden sandy shores, lush forests, and winding rivers.
Manavgat
Manavgat is located 76 km from the city of Antalya and stretches along both sides of the Manavgat River. The town center lies only 4 km from the Mediterranean coast. The northern part of the district is surrounded by the Taurus Mountains and lush forests. The river and the famous Manavgat Waterfall bring fertility and vitality to the land. To the south lie the Sorgun Forests, pine trees, and Titreyengöl Lake — a lagoon formed by the alluvial delta of the Manavgat River.
Side
When you turn south from the Antalya–Manavgat highway, you can reach Side about 2 km before arriving in Manavgat. The word “Side” means “pomegranate tree” in the ancient Anatolian language. Numerous waterways flowing from the slopes of the Taurus Mountains and ancient ruins can be seen even from nearby towns. The old bathhouse has been converted into a museum where various artifacts are displayed. The most remarkable structure in Side is its ancient theatre, which could seat up to 15,000 spectators. Other notable sites include the colonnaded street, the monumental road, the harbor, bathhouses, temples, fountains, cisterns, and the central square.
Aspendos
Located 38 km from Side, the Aspendos Theatre was built in the 2nd century AD and could accommodate up to 17,000 spectators. Today, it still serves as a venue for various cultural events such as concerts, festivals, and traditional oil wrestling. Other impressive structures in Aspendos include the Agora, the Basilica, and the arched aqueducts that extend for nearly 15 kilometers.
Alarahan
Alarahan is located within the Pamphylia region, in the Okurcalar area of Alanya, Antalya Province. When traveling from Alanya toward Antalya, you will see the Alarahan turnoff at the 30th kilometer; from there, it is about 9 km inland. The historic Alarahan complex gives its name to the entire area. Nestled within a forest, it combines small local shops, natural beauty, and unique historical structures. Together with the Alara Fortress and the Alara River, it creates an atmosphere reminiscent of an open-air museum.
Perge
Located 18 km east of Antalya, between the Düden and Aksu rivers, the ancient city of Perge can be reached by turning north from Aksu — about 2 km from the main road. Highlights worth visiting include the gates of the Agora, the Nymphaeum (monumental fountain), the colonnaded street, the remains of an early church, and the Acropolis.
Köprülü Kanyon
Located northeast of Antalya, a 14 km scenic route through Taşağıl and Beşkonak leads to the Köprülü Canyon National Park. The road winds through mountain slopes, crystal-clear rivers, untouched forests, and cascading waterfalls. Situated 92 km from Antalya, the park offers breathtaking natural beauty, rich vegetation, and diverse wildlife. The canyon stretches 14 km along the Köprüçay River, reaching depths of up to 400 meters in some places. It is a paradise for nature and adventure lovers, especially those interested in rafting. Nearby facilities and riverside fish restaurants provide a relaxing atmosphere and delicious local dishes.
