For a true taste of Turkey, head to 7 Mehmet. Located on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the chef here is passionate about local ingredients at their finest. Dishes include lamb tandir and succulent seafood offerings.
For a fine dining option, Seraser Fine Dining Restaurant is an easy option. Prepare to be enthralled by plates of duck confit and truffle risotto.
Planning activities and excursions
Staying by the pool is relaxing, but it can be fun to embark on some adventures as well. Why not book a round of golf at one of the world-class courses nearby? If you want to carry on relaxing, a yacht tour around the bay with food and drink could be the perfect combination.
Your hotel may be able to organise more high-octane activities such as water sports, hot air balloon rides or day excursions to sites of cultural interest.
Exploring the cultural highlights
Antalya is home to several cultural hot spots, so be sure to plan time to visit. For the most picturesque photo opportunity, Duden Waterfall is the place to go. The upper falls plunge effortlessly into a serene pool via the cliff face, whilst the lower falls head directly into the Mediterranean. Take time to explore the surrounding park, as the natural scenery is breathtaking.
History lovers will enjoy a trip to Hadrian’s Gate in Kaleiçi, an arc built in honour of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Whilst you are in the town, wander through the historic streets and peruse the shops and cafes as you go. The cobble streets are home to a lot of history, which can be found around every corner.
