Antalya
Located on Anatolia’s south-west coast and bordered by the Taurus Mountains, Antalya is Turkey’s eighth most populous city and its largest on the Mediterranean Sea. The city was first settled around 200 BC by the Attalid dynasty of Pergamon, which was quickly subdued by the Romans. From the 13th century AD the city was invaded and occupied by the Ottomans. Ottoman rule brought relative peace and stability for the next five hundred years.
