Antalya Cruises Tours
Antalya cruises and tours are the way to go!
Of all the Mediterranean cruise destinations I've covered, Antalya is without a doubt one of my favorites. Located in a southwestern Turkey, this beautiful city rests atop dramatic cliff tops overlooking the clear blue Mediterranean Sea. For anyone looking for luxury, Antalya offer some of the finest resort accommodations available in this region. While not as popular as other cruise destinations in Turkey, Antalya cruises, tours and nightlife are not to be missed.
Cruises in this area range in price and quality, such pace to shop around. On average, you can expect a seven-day cruise to cost anywhere between 1000 and $1300, not including taxes and surcharges. I highly recommend http://www.cruisedirect.co.uk/ as a starting point determine the prices and date of availability. In addition, you can also check out Blue Cruises, which is my preferred provider of Antalya cruises.
While in Antalya, you should take advantage of the many guided tours, particularly those that are focused around the ancient architecture and cultures that this wonderful city has seen over the past several thousand years. Antalya is a true historical melting pot, featuring architectural works from the Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans.
There are two main areas to stay in Antalya. The first run along the coast line above Lara Beach; these tend to be larger chains such as the Sheraton, which feels more like a resort than merely a hotel. The second area is Kaleici, which is the old center of town. Here, visitors can marvel at the ancient Turkish and Greek houses that run along the winding, cobbled streets. Despite being a heavily touristed area, Kaleici retains much of its ancient old world charm. Walking tours in Antalya can be organized through your hotel. Like many destinations in Turkey, I highly recommend guided tours, as so much of the beauty lies in the history of these destinations.
Antalya cruises, tours and hotel packages are certainly not the cheapest option available in southwestern Turkey, but certainly provide a high amount of value.
