Antalya

Built around a sheltered harbour on the Gulf of Antalya, Antalya grew into the principal city of Turkey’s Mediterranean coast. The old quarter of Kaleiçi retains narrow streets, Ottoman-era houses and the Roman-era harbour, while Hadrian’s Gate, erected for the emperor’s visit in AD 130, marks its edge. The Taurus Mountains rise behind the urban plain to the west and north; beaches and resort districts follow the Mediterranean shoreline. Antalya is also the provincial capital and a major urban centre of the Turkish Riviera. Browse further nearby webcams to see how Antalya connects with the Taurus Mountains and Mediterranean coast.
