Overview

Getting to Know Antalya

Antalya lies on the Mediterranean in southern Turkey and is known as the country's main tourism hub. A mild climate year-round, golden sandy beaches, the Taurus Mountains as a backdrop and ancient cities such as Side and Aspendos have made the province one of the most popular destinations for property-based residency and second homes.

Administratively, Antalya is divided into 19 districts (ilçe), including busy coastal tourist areas, central urban districts and mountainous inland districts. The province has a population of nearly 2.7 million.
