The large, picturesque town of Antalya, formerly known as Adalia, is located by the Gult of Antalya on Mediterranean coast of south western Turkey. The mountains on some parts of the coasts plunge sharply into the sea, resulting into spectacular natural bays and peninsulas. The mountain range of Taurus, situated in Southern Anatolia, runs along beside the Mediterranean in a west-east direction, which has formed narrow coastal plains over time. These are surrounded by other mountains on its sides and flows directly into the Mediterranean Sea.
This mountainous region is considered 'the capital of Turkish tourism', the gateway for the Turkish Riviera and many other historical sites. Its lush palm-lined avenues, its marine life, and the modern developments along the coast make Antalya a major tourist attraction in its own right.
Antalya enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate, with moderately warm and rainy winters and dry, hot summers. For most of the year, the weather is sunny and sea temperatures are always 15°C and above. In summer, the temperatures climb up to around 29°C, even reaching up to 45°C in the months of July and August. The sea breeze and winds blowing from the northeast fan the area and help relieve the soaring temperatures.
The area around Antalya is home to astonishing natural wonders as well as fantastic archaeological sites. Visitors can walk behind the cascade of the Upper Duden Waterfalls. On the way to Lara Beach, you can catch sight of the Lower Duden Waterfalls which plunge straight into the sea. Other natural wonders include the Kursunlu Waterfalls and Nilufer Lake, both 18 km from Antalya.
