Hardly any other stretch of Turkey's coast is more popular with German vacationers than the one between Antalya and Antakya: the Turkish Riviera beckons with its wide sandy beaches and bustling vacation centers such as Alanya, Side and Anamur. Those who want to escape the international hustle and bustle on the coast can explore the mountainous hinterland with world-famous archaeological sites such as Perge or Aspendos, go rafting in the Köprülü Canyon or discover lively cities such as modern Mersin or Arabic-influenced Antakya. For longer excursions, the limestone terraces of Pamukkale or the tufa landscape of Cappadocia are ideal. In addition to detailed descriptions of the landscape and places, the book offers a comprehensive information section in which all practical travel questions are clarified: Restaurant tips, information on hotels, guesthouses and campsites, shopping addresses and much more.
