Antalya is one of the most southern resorts on the Turkish coast. It has a climate similar to California that makes it a great destination all year round. Unfortunately, tourism is overdeveloped in certain areas, but there are still some very impressive resorts. For those of us looking for the old part of Turkey, the Kaleici is a good spot to locate yourself. The development of tourism here started due to some of the most beautiful beaches and archaeological sites in the country being located here. Antalya has become a very large resort area and 'Kaleici', which means "inner castle" in Turkish, has tourism to thank for its survival. The careful conversion and restoration of old structures into dwellings or pensions has helped to preserve the original appearance of these fine buildings. The Old City retains a wonderful atmosphere as one meanders through the streets to the port, or sits at one of the wonderful cafes on the castle walls. Except for a few places in the center of the city and the museum (one of the top five in the country), most of the tourist attractions are about an hour's drive outside the city.
