NEARBY ATTRACTIONS

• Kaleici: the historical center of the city.
• Ancient monuments include the City Walls, Hıdırlık Tower, Hadrian's Gate (also known as Triple Gate), and the Clock Tower.
• Hadrian's Gate: constructed in the 2nd century by the Romans in honour of the Emperor Hadrian.
• Kesik Minare (Broken Minaret): Once a Byzantine Panaglia church, later converted into a mosque.

• Yivli Minare (Fluted Minaret): Built by Seljuks and decorated with dark blue and turquoise tiles, this minaret eventually became the symbol of the city.

The city of Antalya Turkey became the government's important sea base and commerce harbour. There was no important events witnessed by the Ottoman Empire after the Seljuk's. After the first world war in 28 March 1919 the city was possessioned by the Italians and taken back in 1 June 1921.

In the picturesque old quarter of Kaleici, narrow, winding streets and old wooden houses abut the ancient city walls. Since its founding in the second century B.C., Antalya has been continuously inhabited. At Antalya, the pine-clad Toros (Taurus) Mountains sweep down to the sparkling clear sea forming an irregular coastline of rocky headlands and secluded coves.

The Antalya region of Turkey, bathed in sunshine 300 days of the year, is a paradise of sun- bathing, swimming and sport activities like wind-sorfing, water skiing, sailing, mountain climbing and hunting. If you come to Antalya in March or April, in the mornings you can ski the slopes and in the afternoons swim in the warm waters of the Mediterranean. Important historical sites await your discovery amid a landscape of pine forests, olive and citrus groves, and palm, avocado and banana plantations.

GETTING THERE AND TRANSPORT


Airports
Antalya Airport has two international terminals and one domestic terminal. In 2007, its number of passengers on international flights surpassed the total number at Istanbul Ataturk Airport and Sabiha Gökçen International Airport for the first time, officially earning the title of "the capital of Turkish
tourism".

Bus
A local bus system serving the greater municipality is operated by a private corporation. There is a network of look-alike Dolmuşes that are privately owned and operated minibuses, run under strict municipal control. Antalya Ulasim, a municapally-owned corporation, runs the public bus system. The corporation owns Antobus and Antray. AntObüs was started in September 2010. 40 buses arrived in June 2010. The city is planning to increase the number by 140 more buses. Payment for public transportation was made in cash until the launch of a public transportation card, Antkart, in late 2007. The card system met with criticism and was subsequently canceled in June 2009, returning to a cash system. The municipality launched a new card system, unofficially called Halkkart, in Summer 2010.

Train
The tram system runs from Antalya Museum and the Sheraton Voyager and Falez hotels, along the main boulevard to the city center at Kalekapisi, Hadrian's Gate, Karaalioglu Park, and ending at Talya Oteli. Trams depart on the hour and half-hour from the terminal (east and west), and reach Kalekapisi between 10 and 15 minutes later. In December 2009, a 11.1 kilometres (6.9 mi) light rail line Antray was opened from one of the main city public bus hub northwest to the Zoo and beyond to suburban areas.
