Forget the touristy stuff! We're about to show you the Real Antalya.
evet, evet! ("yes, yes!" in Turkish)
Taste the Real Deal: Piyaz
Forget fancy restaurants. Grab a plate of piyaz at a local spot. It's a simple bean salad, but the flavors are out of this world!
Sweet Tooth Cravings? Orange Marmalade!
Antalya is famous for its oranges, so try the homemade portakal reçeli (orange marmalade). It's the perfect sweet treat with Turkish tea.
Evening Stroll: Old Town & Republic Square
Skip the crowded beaches and take a relaxing evening walk down Işıklar Street from Republic Square. It's lined with cafes, shops, and street performers..
Cruise Like a Local
Rent a bike or scooter and explore the backstreets at your own pace. You'll discover hidden corners such as The Variant of Konyaaltı.
Morning Run with a View
Start your day with a jog along Konyaaltı Beach. The sunrise over the Mediterranean is breathtaking!
Late-Night Eats: Pacaci Semsi
When hunger strikes after midnight, head to Pacaci Semsi for a steaming bowl of işkembe çorbası (tripe soup). It's a local tradition!
Show Your Colors: Antalyaspor FC
Grab a red and white Antalyaspor scarf and blend in with the locals at a football match. The Corendon Airlines Stadium of Antalyaspor FC is located in Konyaaltı District and the atmosphere is electric!
Lucky Number 7
Keep an eye out for the number 07. It's Antalya's license plate code and a symbol of local pride.
Respect the Yörüks
Remember, the Yörük nomads are the original inhabitants of this land. Show respect for their traditions and way of life.
Bonus Tip:
Take a break at the marina, sip some Turkish tea, and admire the majestic Beydağları mountains.
Remember: The best way to experience Antalya is to embrace the local lifestyle. Be curious, be respectful, and most importantly, have fun!
