  Cliff coastline of Antalya

If you're going on a round trip through Turkey, Antalya is worth a 3-15 day stay, depending on how much time you have. This is the only city I really like in Turkey, because it has a "medium" mixture. One part of town is typically Turkish, and the other part of town is a hedonist hot-spot that caters to package tourists.
After about a week of running into bays that don't have ATM's, I-Cafés or photo shops where you can buy batteries, it's kind of nice to "return to civilization". Not to mention that people on the boat want to finally go out in party, which you can do 'til your heart's content in Antalya.
One word of advice to skippers: If you want a spot in the senic, cheaper city harbour, anchor early in the afternoon - space is limited.
One word of advice to beach tourists - the beach is outside of town (east) - otherwise Antalya is full of these natural cliffs, and the lounge terrances are for hotel guests only. Go early to the beach, too.
