How about stepping out of the boundaries of "all-inclusive" massive hotels and discovering the real Antalya with its 640-kilometer coastline? From ancient cities sleeping in the shadow of the Taurus Mountains to hidden coves enchanting with their turquoise color; the most comprehensive travel route extending from the narrow streets of Kaleiçi to the coolness of waterfalls.
Antalya is one of the most visited tourism destinations not only in Turkey but in the entire world. Unfortunately, a large portion of the millions of visitors to the city complete their vacation without ever leaving the hotel boundaries and poolside, directly boarding transfer vehicles from the airport. However, this city, the capital of the Turkish Riviera, is one of the rare places offering the legacy of Roman and Pamphylian civilizations, the most untouched coves of the Mediterranean, and the wild nature of the Taurus Mountains in a single geography.
This vast area, stretching from the bohemian streets of Kaş in the west to the historic castle of Alanya in the east, holds a different story, a different microclimate, and a different adventure at every kilometer.
If you're ready to get up from your sunbed and take the wheel; open your own music and let's discover this unique route where you'll get lost on the legendary coastal roads of the Mediterranean together.
Remember these three golden rules when planning your vacation:
As soon as you step through the massive Hadrian's Gate (Three Gates), built in honor of Roman Emperor Hadrian's visit in 130 AD, you completely disconnect from the noise of the modern world. Narrow stone streets, Ottoman houses adorned with bougainvillea, boutique hotels, chic restaurants, and the Yivli Minaret... Kaleiçi is a perfect route especially for evening walks, a chic dinner, and watching the sunset at the Marina.
It is the most magnificent stop you can visit before heading to the hotel after picking up your car at Antalya Airport. The capital of the ancient Pamphylia region, Perge, with its massive colonnaded streets, water channels, ancient stadium, and baths, makes you feel like you're in a gladiator movie. The city's infrastructure engineering still amazes today.
It is the best-preserved Roman theater in the world to date. Built by architect Zenon with such perfect acoustics that the sound of a coin dropping or a whisper in the center of the stage can be heard clearly by the audience at the top step. Be sure to see the ancient aqueducts as well. (If you visit in the summer, don't forget to get tickets for the Aspendos International Opera and Ballet Festival).
The coasts of Antalya offer a wide range from vast sandy beaches to turquoise pebbled coves hidden between mountains. As you drive along the D400 highway, never skip these stops:
It is the undisputed star of Turkey's tourism posters and postcards. The sea takes its phosphorescent turquoise color from underground spring waters filtering through the sands from the mountains. It is reached by descending 187 steps from the road, but the fatigue disappears the moment you enter the water. Tip: As the parking area is very limited, it is recommended to go with your own vehicle before 09:00 AM or in the late afternoon.
With a length of approximately 18 kilometers, it is Turkey's longest beach. Thanks to the massive sand dunes made of fine desert sands, you feel as if you are in the Sahara Desert (It provides great photos at sunset). The beach is also a nesting area for Caretta Caretta sea turtles. Don't forget to visit the ancient city at the entrance and the world's first parliament building.
After passing Kemer, the Olympos and Çıralı region welcomes you, a bohemian paradise where concrete has never visited thanks to strict "Natural Site Area" rules. You walk through the ancient ruins in the pine forests to reach the beach. In the evening, take a flashlight and climb to Yanartaş (Chimaera), where natural gas seeping from the mountain has been burning for thousands of years without extinguishing, and roast marshmallows by the fire.
It is a massive city beach with a blue flag and slightly pebbly, stretching for kilometers in the heart of the city. Swimming with the magnificent view of the snowy Beydağları in the background is a great pleasure. In the evenings, the park areas, cafes, and walking paths behind the beach are very lively.
Düden Waterfalls consist of two different sections. Upper Düden (Kepez) is a perfect cooling spot with waters pouring from behind caves, the shade of trees, and picnic areas. Lower Düden (Karpuzkaldıran/Lara) is a magnificent natural event where the river pours directly into the Mediterranean from massive cliffs (40 meters high), which is rare in the world.
Operating with the slogan "Sea to Sky," this cable car takes you from sea level to the snowy summit of Tahtalı Mountain at 2,365 meters in just 10 minutes. While people swim below, you can walk around in a sweater above the clouds at the summit.
A massive theme park that rightfully holds the title of "Turkey's Disneyland," which fascinates not only children but adults as well. With world-famous roller coasters, giant water slides (Aqua Park), a chic shopping street, and magnificent boat/light shows held in the evenings, it is an entertainment capital where you can spend a full day with your family.
Kemer, Tekirova, Adrasan, Demre, Kaş, Kalkan or in the opposite direction Belek, Side, Manavgat, Alanya... The beauties of Antalya are kilometers apart, and wasting time with public transportation or expensive taxis in the heat turns your vacation into stress.
As soon as you step into Antalya Airport (AYT), pick up your car with the assurance of LenaCars. Load your luggage, turn on your air conditioner, and freely enjoy the D400 highway, one of the world's most beautiful driving routes, hidden coves, and historical cities.
