Away from the resorts, Antalya reveals a different rhythm, where ancient cities, wild canyons and high mountain trails offer a deeper look at Türkiye’s Mediterranean coast.

Antalya may be known for its beaches, but inland and along the coast, a different story unfolds. 

In Beydağları Coastal National Park, the ruins of Phaselis sit quietly among pine trees and inlets.  

Once a key Lycian port, the city’s Roman-era baths, streets and theatres are still under excavation. 

Further west, the canyon walls of Göynük draw hikers and climbers into turquoise pools and narrow gorges. 

At 2,365 metres, Mount Olympus offers one last shift in scale—a cable car ride to sweeping views, where myth and geology meet above the Mediterranean.
