Nestled among the mountains and villages of Turkey’s southwest coast is Antalya, the city that serves as the anchor to this splendid stretch of seaside. With its skyline punctuated by prominent Taurus Mountain peaks seemingly rising out of the Gulf of Antalya and magenta bougainvillea bursting from vines, Antalya is dramatic in every way. It’s the largest city on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, with its shiny new city wrapping around the old town section called Kaleiçi. This walled neighborhood used to be the whole of Antalya, before the city expanded into its modern form. Kaleiçi, which means “inside the fortress,” has winding narrow cobblestone roads, charming Ottoman-era houses, and historic structures that span the many eras this city has seen.
