We flew in September and December, mostly for business, though these trips could also be considered weekend getaways.
A few photos. September.

View from the window of Baia Lara hotel

The sun was out too.

Baia Lara Hotel – a pleasant experience.


Although vegetarians might see a certain symbolism in it.
The sea is cold this time of year, but many people still swam. I went in myself in October and then enjoyed warming up in the sauna or hammam. In December, I skipped the swimming part 🙂

Little coffee break

The next day, this pontoon was already dismantled – Antalya was getting ready for winter 🙂

You can lie down, but it’s chilly.

***********************************
December

In December, Antalya is asleep – off-season.
There are sunny days,


and not-so-sunny ones.


Pontoons are folded away, loungers and umbrellas are put in storage.

Off-season is the perfect time for maintenance. Antalya beach in winter.


Soon the tourist season here will start boiling again…

Land of Legends. Land of Legends Theme Park in the Belek area.

The park is closed in the off-season, but you can still appreciate its scale. Huge buildings and grounds, water slides and massive rides – all visible from afar.

Land of Legends is located within the Rixos hotel complex – https://thelandoflegendsthemepark.rixos.com. Apparently, the Rixos chain owns it. Unofficially, it’s already being called the Turkish Disneyland.

In the Kadriye district, located far from Antalya’s center, many cafes and shops are closed.

Shopping centers operate at half capacity. But there’s an upside! Prices are lower than during the high season, so it’s the perfect time to fly in for some great quality goods.
Let’s go! ↓ ↓ ↓
