Top 10 attractions in Antalya

Antalya sounds like the name of a fairyland tucked away amidst blue waters and shimmering skies. This city is the eighth most populous city in Turkey and fortunately very accessible for tourists! It was founded as ‘Attaleia’ and named after its founder Attalos II, king of Pergamon who laid its foundations in 150 BC. It is the largest Turkish city cozily lying on Mediterranean coast and is home to over one million people in its metropolitan area. April is one of the best times to hit this city, courtesy its pleasant weather. It can be reached via planes from Istanbul. Many travellers also arrive from Rhodes by boat and bus.
