Holidays in Antalya often centre around the region's excellent beaches, but there's far more to do besides swimming and sunbathing. Golf, diving, shopping, snorkelling, hiking and water sports are just some of the many activities on offer. Explore the Damlatas Caves in Alanya, or discover the ancient amphitheatre and temple ruins at Side. Dolphinland and Aqualand in Anatalya make great family days out.
Each of the resorts in the Antalya region has its own range of evening entertainment to keep all ages happy. Nightlife in Alanya is lively, but doesn't tend to attract crowds of revellers. In most larger resorts, you can choose between belly dancing shows, discos, clubs and quiet bars.
Youll be spoilt for choice on where to dine out in the Antalya region. You can chose from a range of English, European and Chinese dishes along with fast food takeaways in larger resorts.

All inclusive hotels are increasingly popular in the region.
