antalya, türkiye: complete guide and sample itinerary

Mountains, beaches, and ruins... oh my! Antalya has a little bit of everything, and I think it might be my new favorite city in Turkey after spending two weeks there this summer with my husband. We usually are distracted travelers, rarely staying more than two days in one city, and so staying in Antalya for two weeks straight was a welcomed divergence from the norm for us. If you're looking for a place where you can relax on the beach one minute, go for a hike and explore some ruins the next, and finish the day at a beautiful restaurant with a view in the city, Antalya is the place for you. I love the juxtaposition of old and new, city and natural beauty, and simple and extravagant that Antalya has to offer. In this guide, you'll find everything you need to know to plan a trip to Antalya, Türkiye-- whether it be a two week vacation or a couple day excursion. **Included: a list of basic information for travel to Türkiye, recommendations for how to get around, places to stay, places to eat, what to do, as well as a sample 7 day itinerary.
