Antalya city mixes beaches, museums and busy bazaars, so days out often combine sun, walking and street food. Long walking days, heat and crowds can slow recovery, so build in rest and shade and tell the doctor how your days are going.
Travel guide to Antalya
In antiquity the city was Attalia, founded by the Pergamene king Attalus II. Tourist tip: begin in Kaleici, visit the Antalya Museum and stroll the cliff-top Karaalioglu Park. Shops range from covered bazaars to modern malls, while the sea offers swimming, jet-skiing and boat trips from Konyaalti and Lara.
