With its turquoise coastline, pine-clad mountains and more than 2,000 years of history, Antalya is the beating heart of the Turkish Riviera. Whether you are chasing waterfalls, ancient ruins or a lazy day on the water, these are the experiences you simply cannot miss.
Sail the Turquoise Coast on a Boat Tour
Nothing captures the Mediterranean summer like a day at sea. Glide past hidden coves, swim in crystal-clear bays and soak up the sun as the coastline drifts by. Most boat tours include lunch on board and plenty of swim stops, making it the perfect way to see Antalya from a brand-new angle.
Raft Through Köprülü Canyon
Just inland from Manavgat, Köprülü Canyon is the white-water capital of Turkey. Paddle through kilometres of foaming rapids framed by towering cliffs and cool, shaded forest. It is exhilarating, refreshing and suitable for both first-timers and thrill-seekers.
Step Back in Time in Ancient Side
The seaside town of Side is an open-air museum. Wander among Roman columns, explore a vast amphitheatre and watch the sun set behind the Temple of Apollo at the water's edge. History has rarely looked this beautiful.
Chase the Waterfalls
From the thundering Manavgat Waterfall to the cliff-top Düden Falls that tumble straight into the sea, the region is dotted with dramatic cascades. They offer a cool escape on a hot afternoon and unforgettable photos.
Go Off-Road on a Jeep Safari
Swap the coast for the Taurus Mountains on a jeep safari through traditional villages, river crossings and panoramic viewpoints. It is a fun, dusty adventure that reveals a completely different side of Antalya.
Plan Your Perfect Day
The best time to visit is from April to October, when the sea is warm and the skies are clear. To make the most of your trip, book your tours in advance and arrange a comfortable hotel transfer so you can relax from the moment you land. Ready to explore? Browse our tours and let us handle the rest.
