About Antalya

Antalya is the capital of Antalya Province and Turkey's fifth-most populous city. It is the largest Turkish city on the Mediterranean coast outside the Aegean. The Taurus Mountains surround its southwestern coast in Anatolia.

Around the year 200 B.C., members of the Attalid dynasty of Pergamon established the city that is today known as Antalya. However, the Romans quickly took control of the region.

Antalya flourished under Roman authority, which resulted in the construction of several new structures, such as Hadrian's Gate, and the growth of settlements in the surrounding area.

The Seljuk Sultanate took control of the city in 1207, and the growing Ottoman Empire took power in 1391. These are just two of the many occasions the city has changed hands. The subsequent five hundred years were marked by relative peace and stability thanks to Ottoman control.

On the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, the city of Antalya is home to the country's most popular tourist destination. Tourism has been helped forward by large-scale development as well as financing from the government.
