Turkey-antalya-city-center
The city of Antalya stretches along the bay bearing its name, and is built on a rocky coastline, with the imposing backdrop of the Taurus mountains rising above the coastline, and is interspersed with valleys of varying sizes.
The beaches stretch for miles and the caves, close to the sea, add another dimension to the beauty of the region. Small and large streams emerge from the west side of the Taurus watering the plains on their journey to the Mediterranean. This clear running water cascades into the sea at points along the coast, and is another attraction of the area.
The plant life of Antalya is extremely varied; every kind of tropical plant can be found along the coast. The summers are hot and rainless while the other months are pleasantly warm.
The stretch of coast around Antalya is known as the Turkish Riviera
