Holiday homes in the heart of Antalya
Experience Antalya with us
Are you interested in making the most of your time in Antalya by having us suggest and organize activities / visits for you? We are very happy to share our local knowledge with you, and can arrange individual itineraries. We avoid the typical tourist activities, unless they are ones that absolutely can’t be missed. Here are just some of our favourite things to do in and around Antalya: eating at a range of local restaurants to try meze or locally caught fish; listening to live traditional music; white water rafting; breakfast under ancient olive trees; visiting ancient ruins; enjoying a massage at our favourite, untouristy hamam; scuba diving.
We can design your own schedule to suit your interests, energy levels and knowledge of Antalya and the surrounding areas. We also offer a full-week programme – see below for more details. If it sounds too much, you can also book single days. We can also arrange for you to have a private car and driver for a day – just ask us. More information about prices can also be provided upon request.
A week is definitely not enough, but are you ready to get a taste of life in Antalya from a local perspective?
