Antalya is a Turkish city resort with a yacht-filled old harbour and beaches flanked by large hotels. Moreover, it’s a gateway to Turkey’s southern Mediterranean region, known as the Turquoise Coast for its blue waters. Here, remnants of Antalya’s time as a major Roman port remain, including Hadrian’s Gate, built to honour the Roman emperor’s visit in 130 A.D.
The Akra Hotel sits in the centre of Antalya, just 20 minutes from the airport. Therefore, the resort is ideally located for those who want to be close to everything the city offers while enjoying a luxurious environment. In addition, the sea-view resort offers magnificent views of the Bey Mountains. Notably, it distinguishes itself with an “Urban Social” lifestyle that emphasises emotions and experiences.
