Mediterranean Coast (Antalya) activities

Fancy a few rounds of golf while you're here? If so, then you won't be disappointed: the Antalya region is one of Turkey's best spots for enjoying the sport. The area around Belek boasts a number of first-class courses where, thanks to the country's mild climate, it's possible to play at any time of year. The three main courses are all 18-holers: the Tat Beach with its three 9-hole loops in a lovely setting overlooking the sea; the pine-forested Gloria Golf Resort famed for its deep bunkers and ponds; and the Nobilis course just outside Belek, which has an academy offering lessons for beginners and children.

Horse-riding is available, watersports abound around the beaches and there's even rafting in Koprula Kanyon. For adventure-lovers, Side boasts a Aqualand theme park. The waterfalls of Kursunlu and the ancient city of Aspendos are also worth a visit.
