Antalya

Tucked into Turkey’s southwest corner is Antalya. Known as the Turkish Riviera, this cosmopolitan region has a 400-mile sweep of white-sand beaches and secluded coves, and is home to upmarket resorts like Lara Beach,Patara,Cleopatra Beach and Belek.

Holidays to the Antalya area are a mixed bag. Nature gave the Turkish Riviera pristine beaches and a rich green interior, while nurture gave it glamorous marinas and bespoke hotels.
