Because
of the archaeological and natural riches of the area,
Antalya is also known as the Turkish Riviera. The
sun, sea, nature and history combine to form a very
popular resort, highlighted by some of the cleanest
beaches in the Mediterranean. The 630km shoreline
of the province is liberally scattered with ancient
cities, harbours, memorial tombs and beaches, secluded
coves and lush forests, many of which are easily accessible
from the city. |

With its palm-lined boulevard, internationally-acclaimed
marina, and old castle with traditional architecture,
all set amidst a modern city, Antalya is a major tourist
centre in Turkey. In addition to the wide selection
of hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and shops,
the city also plays host to a number of sporting events
throughout the year, like International Beach Volleyball,
triathlon, golf tournaments, archery, tennis and canoeing
competitions. The Cultural Centre, which opened in 1995,
hosts cultural and art events in the fields of music,
theatre, and creative arts. The main area of interest
in the city is central old quarter within the Roman
walls, known as Kaleici, and there are many good museums.
