Antalya sits on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, a resort city backed by the Taurus Mountains. Known as the Turkish Riviera, the region draws millions of visitors for beaches, ancient ruins, and all-inclusive hotels. Direct flights from London take around 4 hours 30 minutes to Antalya Airport (AYT).
The historic Kaleiçi quarter preserves Ottoman-era houses within ancient Roman walls. Nearby lie the ruins of Perge, Aspendos with its intact Roman theatre, and Termessos mountain city. Modern Antalya offers beach clubs at Konyaaltı and Lara, plus water parks, shopping malls, and golf courses.
British Airways operates from Gatwick with Club Europe service. Turkish Airlines connects through Istanbul, adding travel time but offering superior business class. Jet2 and TUI provide holiday-focused services with premium seating options. EasyJet serves the route in economy only for budget travellers.
