Belek

Hit the golf course

If you’re a lover of golf then the area around Belek could be the ideal option for a break in the sun. Those who are fans of links-style courses will enjoy the challenge of Lykia Golf Course, whilst the Montgomerie Max and PGA Sultan are more appealing for the casual golfer. Cornelia Golf Club meanwhile features 27 holes designed by golfing legend Nick Faldo whilst Carya provides the unique opportunity to play under floodlights.

Belek Mosque

A fantastic example of a traditional Turkish mosque, Belek Mosque sits in the heart of the resort and is the place where locals go to pray. It will be particularly impressive to see when lit up at night.

Haggle for a bargain

There is something very rewarding about trying to grab a bargain whilst away on holiday and the main bazaar in Belek is a great place to try and find souvenirs to take back home. Held on a Saturday you’ll find a range of different goods and will be able to drive down the price if your haggling skills are up to scratch.

Land of Legends

If you are travelling with the family then the Land of Legends park will hold huge appeal. The themepark is home to a range of different water-based rides to suit all ages and also houses a selection of animals that range from tigers to whales and dolphins. There’s also plenty of opportunity to enjoy some shopping or fine dining during your visit.

Perge

If you want to explore some ancient history then you could do a lot worse than pay a visit to the ruins of the city of Perge. Dating back to approximately 1000BC, the remains are one of Turkey’s most important archaeological sites, with an old theatre and what is left of some ancient Roman baths being amongst the major draws.

Aspendos

The preserved Roman amphitheatre at Aspendos is another prime example of ancient architecture but this one is still used to this day. Whereas in the past it was a scene of gladiatorial battles, you’re now more likely to catch a ballet or opera performance in the open air.

Antalya Aquarium

Take a trip to nearby Antalya and you can prepare to be amazed on a visit to the popular aquarium, where you can see a range of different marine species and take a walk through the largest tunnel aquarium to be found anywhere in the world.

Kaleici

Antalya’s old town is worth exploring if you take a trip to the city and is home to a wide selection of historical sites from the moment you walk through Hadrian’s Gate. You can also expect to find some high quality Turkish dining as well as a range of shopping options.
