The Voyage Privé travel expert’s opinion on travel to Antalya
Antalya is fast becoming a real favourite for couples and families and it's easy to see why. Affordable and rich in culture, with exciting activities and day trips for all ages. Why not take the kids to the brilliant Sandland or Dolphinland Aqua Park, or Discover the magical underwater world at Antalya Aquarium, hosting the world’s biggest underwater tunnel. Or if you’re travelling alone, or a couples getaway is what you’re after, Antalya is truly one of the hidden gems of the Mediterranean, with romantic excursions and beautiful sunsets to look forward to. Walk around the cobbled streets of Old Town, soaking in the history. Spend the day getting lost in the maze-like back alleys and stumble upon quaint cafés and restaurants. Enjoy delicacies from all over the Mediterranean, getting stuck into the local cuisine. With a delightful array of Turkish meze and fresh seafood, there’s some of the best food on offer here within the city.

Top 5 things to do/ see in Antalya
1. Düden Waterfalls
With the most incredible insta-worthy landscapes, it is well worth a day trip to these beautiful waterfalls. Make sure to visit both the Upper and Lower waterfalls and shoot some attractive photos to share with friends and family.
2. The Old Town
If history and architecture are your thing, then you have to visit the Old Town of Kaleiçi, which houses many of Antalya’s hidden ruins and makes for a lovely relaxed afternoon in the city. With the Antalya Archaeological Museum, the ancient clock tower and the Yivliminare Mosque, there’s plenty in the way of culture in Kaleiçi.
Surrounded by bustling local businesses, cafes and markets, there’s always something to keep the whole family entertained. While you’re in Old Town, make sure you take a stroll down to Hadrian’s Gate, one of the cities most beloved monuments, dating all the way back to the 2nd Century. Hadrian's Gate is a wonderfully preserved piece of architecture and history, which is the only remaining entrance gate in the walls that surround the city and harbour.
For a romantic evening out, take advantage of the local Mediterranean cuisine and nightlife in Old Town, making sure to explore the modern side of this great city.
Walking by the beach in the evenings you will find places to have a drink by the sunset and have a dance with the locals. An unmissable delight is the many panoramic terraces which look over the old harbour.
3. The Ruins of Perge
Once the most prosperous city of the ancient world, now a vast rubble-filled stadium surrounded by half-desecrated temples. Make the most of the ruins at Perge, as unlike most restoration sites, the ruins of Perge allow you to get up close and experience everything for yourself.
4. The Old Town Harbour and Marina
