Turkey Property Antalya is Med leader

Antalya has been named as the Mediterranean destination most attractive to tourists.

The chairman of Europe-TurkeyTourism Business Council revealed that the city has lured more visitors than any other in the region, reports the Turkish Press.

Huseyin Baraner told the Anatolian News Agency that with the help of holidaymakers from Germany, Russia, Ukraine, the Netherlands and Romania, Antalya could be labelled as "the shining star of Europe".

Mr Baraner commented: "There has been almost thirty percent rise in bookings for hotels in Antalya this year.

"This season, around 900 planes will take off and land at the international airport of Antalya."

Kaleici is the historical heartland of Antalya and features traces of the many civilisations to have occupied the city.

The Clock Tower, Hadrian's Gate and the City Walls, as well as the port's restored marina are all reasons why Antalya is developing a reputation as one of the Mediterranean's quaintest locations.
