Antalya located in the region called Pamphylia, was founded by Attalus II, King of Pergamum in
the 2nd century BC. Kaleici, one  of the most popular part of Antalya, has become a center point
of attraction and the recent renovation of the old houses, and the small yacht harbor won Antalya
an international award for excellence in architecture and preservation. Today, most of the houses
have been turned into small hotels and pensions. An important highlight of the city is The  
Archaeological Museum, which is considered to be one of top five museums in Turkey.

Because of the archaeological and natural riches of the area, Antalya is also known as the
Turkish Riviera. The sun, sea, nature and history combine to form a very popular resort,
highlighted by some of the cleanest beaches in the Mediterranean. In addition to the wide
selection of hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and shops, the city also plays host to a
number of sporting events throughout the year, like International Beach Volleyball, triathlon,
golf tournaments, archery, tennis and canoeing competitions.
