Another recommendation is Antalya, the thriving and sunny Mediterranean city and its environs which include some incredibly well preserved ancient sites, if archaeology interests you. Within a short distance, is Aspendos with probably the best preserved Roman theatre in the world, Perge, a veritable Ephesus which is being excavated by Turkish archaeologists, and a host of other fantastic sites like Termessus, Selge and Phaselis. The city’s archaeological museum also happens to be one of the very finest in the country. Very much worth seeing.
