The Romans and Seljuks occupied the city before it came under Ottoman rule. In every part of the city, the marks of these historical periods can be observed. The Kaleigi section of Antalya is one of the most interesting parts of the city with its ancient Seljuk and Ottoman mosques. Antalya further broadens its reputation with the nearby ancient city Perge and Aspendos theatre. Perge, 18 km from Antalya, is one of the best preserved cities of ancient Pamphylia. Aspendos is 46 km from Antalya. The galleries, stage decorations and the acoustics in the theater all reflect the success of architecture. Side is an ancient harbor with its magnificent ancient theater near the agora, and the creamy white columns of the Apollo Temple make striking contrast against the blue sea. Waterfalls, beaches and national parks are places where nature displays her beauty in Antalya. There are also many excellent shopping opportunities, including folk art items, handicrafts, museum reproductions, leather goods and carpets. ----------------------------- TRANSPORTATION There are two main alternatives for travelling to Antalya. The first one is a direct flight from a major European location to Antalya airport. Turkish Airlines have direct flights from many European cities to Antalya. The second alternative is to fly to Istanbul and then take a domestic flight to Antalya. For flight schedules please check with a travel agency.
