Antalya
Antalya is Türkiye’s holiday capital: more than 300 kilometres of coastline, a city centre built at the foot of the Taurus mountains, and one of the busiest leisure flight networks in the world.
Mediterranean Coast
Belek
Belek is Türkiye’s golf and upper-tier resort belt. Thirty-five kilometres east of Antalya, on a narrow strip between pine forest and sand, it holds close to fifteen championship golf courses and the country’s densest concentration of five-star hotels.
The area was planned rather than grown: hotels sit on separate plots inside the pine forest instead of in a row, and almost all of them open straight onto the beach. That makes Belek comfortable for families with children and for anyone who prefers not to leave the resort.
Beyond golf, Belek is fifteen minutes from one of the loggerhead turtle nesting beaches and from the Roman theatre at Aspendos. It is also the best-equipped region for corporate events and incentive groups — large ballrooms and meeting facilities are standard in the hotels here.
