Explore Antalya for the Perfect Turkish Getaway

With more flights offered to Turkey Antalya is seen as the ideal spot

Whilst the British recession could have negatively affected holiday culture, taking a break to get away from everything is as popular as ever. For many British individuals, escaping the cold and heading somewhere warm is the perfect option. With an increasing number of flights to Turkey, Antalya is the ideal spot.

Located on the Gulf of Antalya, this Turkish city is ideally located for those wanting a hot and sunny destination. Though the Mediterranean continues to be popular, Turkey's attraction as a holiday location has rocketed over the past decade.

Part of Antalya's attraction is its mix of modern Turkish culture and remnants of its Roman past. Kaleici, the beautifully preserved Roman-Ottoman quarter, offers absolutely stunning views of the Bey Mountains. Meanwhile, its Roman harbour is the perfect attraction for those wanting to stroll along the Lycian coast. The Antalya Museum is heralded to be the best in country, holding the nation's most important archaeological collections, whilst the city hasn't been left behind in modernisation, and is home to some of Turkey's best restaurants.

With both beautiful coastline and interesting history, Antalya is the perfect destination for travellers wanting both sunshine and culture. With a range of airlines, including Air Berlin, British Airways and Thomas Cook, flying to the destination, a 2012 break in Antalya is easily accessible.
