Antalya — The Turkish Riviera 🏛️
Where Roman ruins meet the turquoise Mediterranean: a walled old town of Ottoman houses spills down to a working marina, backed by the Taurus Mountains and framed by waterfalls that tumble straight into the sea.

🏨 Where to Stay
- Titanic Mardan Palace ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — an Ottoman-grandeur all-inclusive palace on Lara's coast, with a seven-storey lobby waterfall, imported white-sand private beach and ten restaurants.
- Akra Antalya ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — smart pick — a cliffside hotel close to the old town with direct lift access down to the sea, a glass-bottomed skywalk and sweeping Mediterranean views from every balcony.
- Delphin Imperial Lara ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — an Art Deco-inspired all-inclusive tower complex directly on Lara's private beach, with a newly opened aqua park and eight restaurants covering everything from Mexican to Lebanese.
- Adalya Elite Lara ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — a large ultra-all-inclusive resort on Lara's private beach with six pools, six restaurants and a pier lined with cabanas, popular with families for its scale and variety.
- Alp Paşa Hotel ⭐⭐⭐⭐ — hidden gem — a 400-year-old Ottoman mansion tucked in the walled streets of Kaleici Old Town, steps from Hadrian's Gate, with citrus-tree courtyards, a small outdoor pool and rooms blending Turkish motifs with modern interiors — romantic, historic and a completely different Antalya to the Lara beach strip.

🎟️ Experiences
- Hadrian's Gate — a triple-arched marble triumphal gate built in 130 AD to mark Emperor Hadrian's visit, and the sole surviving entrance into the old walled city of Kaleiçi.
- Lower Düden Waterfalls — a dramatic cascade where the Düden River plunges straight off the city's cliffs into the Mediterranean, best appreciated from a short boat tour out of the old harbour.
