Turquoise seas, blue skies and a favourable climate make the southern coastal resort town of Antalya one of Turkey's premier destinations. Antalya's seat on the Mediterranean Sea means it boasts the longest coastline in the country, and visitors can enjoy a relaxing time in the sun here for more than half the year. Add to this the fascinating Roman ruins found at various sites within the city, and the range of appetising dishes available at its many seafood restaurants, and hiring a car in Antalya will just about give you enough time to see everything this beautiful city has to offer.
A little further east along the coast of Antalya, about seven miles, you'll find the gorgeous Düden Waterfalls cascading into the Mediterranean. Surrounded by beautiful parkland this is a perfect place to enjoy the view over a picnic. Hire a car in and make your way out to savour the natural sights and sounds. Another must-see is the old town of Kaleiçi which has Hadrian's Gate, a victory arch built for the emperor to pass through , and the amazing remnants of the Roman harbour on the water, among many other stunning spots.
