Antalya
Turquoise coasts, ancient cities
Antalya has a long coastline stretching from Kaş and Demre in the west to Alanya and Gazipaşa in the east, with the Western Taurus Mountains rising right behind it. The walled streets of Kaleiçi and ancient cities such as Perge, Aspendos, Side, Termessos, Ksanthos and Myra tell of the province's thousands of years of history. The Düden, Kurşunlu and Manavgat waterfalls, Köprülü Canyon, and the Damlataş and Altınbeşik caves are nature stops. Most of the roughly 500 km Lycian Way, which runs from Fethiye to Antalya, lies within the province. The yaylas (highland pastures) of Elmalı, Akseki, İbradı and Gündoğmuş show a cool Taurus face to those escaping the heat of the coast.
