Antalya; As the tourist city with the longest coastline in Türkiye, it hosts millions of local and foreign visitors every year. Antalya, with its sub-regions such as Kemer, Belek, Side and Alanya, is not just about the sea - it offers a rich holiday palette with ancient cities, canyons, plateaus and world-class water sports.
1. Water Sports Adventure (Kemer)
Water sports are a must for Antalya holiday. Especially on Kemer's Kuğulu Park beach, dozens of activities such as jet ski, parasailing, banana boat and flyboard are offered in one spot. Take half a day and have the most fun few hours of your life.
2. Düden Waterfall and Lower Düden
The Lower Düden Waterfall in the center of Antalya is unique as it is the only waterfall flowing into the sea. Upper Düden is ideal for a picnic among the greenery. 15 minutes away from the city center.
3. Ancient Phaselis Bay
Phaselis, 15 km north of Kemer, is an ancient port city by the sea. With its walking paths, three-bay beach and ancient theatre, it offers both history and beach pleasure in the same day.
4. Boat Tour (from Kemer or Antalya Marina)
There are bays such as Suluada, Üçada and Maden Bay that can only be accessed by boat. Boat tours generally include lunch, music and swimming breaks. There are 3-4 hours options by speedboat and full day options by classic ship.
5. Olympos and Yanartaş
Beach during the day in the ancient city of Olympos, climb to Yanartaş (Chimaera) with a walk in the evening. Constantly burning flames from natural gas outlets create a mythological atmosphere. Be sure to bring a flashlight and comfortable shoes.
6. Köprülü Canyon and Rafting
Köprulu Canyon, 90 km away from Antalya center, is Türkiye's most popular rafting spot. You can spend a day full of ice-cold water and adrenaline on the 14 km track. Anyone over the age of 7 can participate.
