The city of Antalya has a magnificent setting
on the Mediterranean coast with the mighty Taurus
mountain range surrounding the province. It was founded by Attalos II, king
of Pergamum in 158 BC and named after him.
The
attractive old city has monuments
from the Roman, Seljuk and Ottoman times and a
spectacular ancient harbor. There are nice small
hotels, restored Ottoman houses in the old part
where visitors can stay feeling the history. And the
province of Antalya is a real treasure of archaeology.
