Favourite view in Antalya city centre? That’s easy: This amazing view along the stretch of Konyaaltı Beach. Rugged cliffs, the open expanse of the Mediterranean Sea. And the stunning backdrop of the distinctive peaks of the Taurus Mountains to the west… Stunning! But we’re not simply taking in the view from above in this article. …
That’s the overriding memory of any Runtalya Marathon (Runtalya Maratonu) event; just a mass of colour – and a great atmosphere, too, of course. Over the years, the Runtalya Marathon – and its half marathon and 10k distances – has grown into what is arguably Turkey’s biggest road running event outside of Istanbul. Each year, …
Two city of Antalya waterfalls: Upper Düden Waterfalls and Lower Düden Waterfalls. Both tumbling from the same river – but two completely different personalities! One – Upper Düden Waterfall – is the natural beauty of a tranquil green space. The other – its lower counterpart – is all about the beauty of the ferocious power …
For many years, we’ve been almost annual visitors to Antalya old town, Kaleiçi. We’re suckers for an old town, especially when they’re a seemingly never-ending maze of narrow streets in which to lose yourself.

Perge is an ancient site of ruins in Turkey’s Antalya province. Just what is it with us and the centre of Antalya? Whenever we’re in this city, there’s always a little travel (mis)adventure where something goes slightly array. All good fun, nothing serious…but all the same… every single visit? When we were there recently, we …
