Holiday in Turquoise Coast

About Turquoise Coast

The Turquoise Coast stretches over approximately 600 kilometers along the southern Mediterranean coast from Antalya to Alanya and beyond. With over 300 sunny days a year, turquoise blue sea, long sandy beaches, and an impressive hinterland of the Taurus Mountains, it is one of Europe's most popular holiday regions. Antalya, the vibrant center of the region, impresses with its beautifully restored old town Kaleici, the Roman Hadrian's Gate, and the Duden Waterfalls that plunge directly into the sea. The coast offers the right beach for every taste: from the lively Lara Beach with its luxury resorts to the unspoiled Cirali Beach (nesting site for sea turtles) to hidden rocky coves near Kas and Kekova. The Taurus Mountains in the hinterland rise to over 3,000 meters and offer spectacular gorges like the Koprulu Canyon (ideal for white-water rafting), ancient cities like Termessos (the impregnable eagle's nest that even Alexander the Great could not conquer) and Aspendos with its perfectly preserved Roman theater, where concerts are still held today. The region also scores culinary points with fresh fish, citrus fruits from the plantations in the hinterland, and the legendary Turkish breakfast. Thanks to Antalya International Airport, the Turquoise Coast can be reached from Germany in just three to four flight hours — and offers a price-performance ratio that is unmatched in the Mediterranean region.
