Antalya

Located along Turkey's stunning southwestern coast, Antalya is renowned as the gateway to the Turkish Riviera, and the hub of the country's thriving tourism industry. Offering a blend of Mediterranean charm with rich historical depth, this magnificent city is bathed in sunshine over 300 days a year and is home to some of Turkey's most beautiful beaches. Antalya's historic old town, Kaleiçi, is a maze-like mix of Roman walls, Ottoman architecture, and ancient city gates. With its marina, boutique shops, and traditional Turkish restaurants, the district is a haven for history enthusiasts or those simply seeking leisurely sightseeing. Outdoor enthusiasts also have plenty in store including the towering cliffs of Koprulu Canyon and the magnificent Düden, Kursunlu and Manavgat waterfalls. From ancient ruins to bustling markets, Antalya is a coastal jewel that embodies the vibrance of Turkey.

Safety:Safe

Antalya is generally considered a safe city for solo female travelers. Turkish people are typically hospitable and respectful towards guests. There is a visible police presence in and around popular tourist spots, and emergency assistance is readily accessible. However, like any other tourist destination, common precautions should be considered, such as not walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas and being wary of pickpockets. Always keep your belongings secure and take care of yourself in situations involving alcohol or late-night parties.

Transport:Easy

Antalya is relatively easy to navigate, thanks to its straightforward layout and extensive public transport options such as trams, buses, and taxis. The signage is prevalent in both Turkish and English, making it possible for non-Turkish speakers. However, it can get crowded during peak tourist season which might make commuting slightly challenging.

Things to do:Interesting

Antalya is rich in history and natural beauty. You would love to visit the ancient ruins, especially the ones in old city Kaleiçi, with winding streets and Ottoman-era architecture. Nature enthusiasts can find solace in Düden Waterfalls and Konyaalti Beach. Exploring the local markets can be an exciting experience with several great spots for shopping traditional Turkish goods and tasting local cuisine. However, language could be somewhat a barrier.

Food:Excellent

The food in Antalya is a culinary delight offering flavorsome and diverse options. Catering to a variety of palates, the city provides a gastronomic journey ranging from traditional Turkish dishes to international cuisine. Fresh vegetables, local herbs, olive oil, and citrus fruits make the food rich and varied. Do not miss out on the piquant meat dishes and the seafood, considering Antalya's location on the Mediterranean coast. There are plenty of vegetarian options as well, making the food scene inclusive for all. Portions are usually large, so come with an appetite.

Budget:Affordable

Antalya is quite budget-friendly for solo female travelers. The cost of accommodations, food, and transportation are generally reasonable especially outside of the peak tourist season. Walking through the scenic old town is free, and there are plenty of inexpensive local eateries and markets. While major attractions may have entry fees, they are typically not excessively expensive.

Couple travel experience

We stayed in an airbnb in Muratpaşa and it was really nice. We could order really good food via app. People were friendly. There are many mosques to pray in. Also a lot of supermarkets and places to shop. The beaches are mostly run by hotels, so we didn't feel free to go to any beach. But we liked to go for a walk to the harbor.
