Antalya is the gateway for Belek, Turkey’s premier golf region. Belek, located on the Mediterranean coast 30 km east of Antalya, currently boasts five golf clubs with a further 11 courses and 44 hotels in various stages of construction with a number programmed to open during 2007. Signature course designers include Nick Faldo, Colin Montgomerie and David Feherty.
The SunExpress schedule to Antalya will give UK golfers the all-year-round option to fly out on Thursday and return on Monday after a weekend of three full days of golf in the sun. Reflecting the sporting interest in Antalya, SunExpress will be offering complimentary carriage of golf and diving equipment weighing less than 30 kilos.
Antalya and the resorts in and around the Turkish Riviera offer plenty to attract the non-golfer with accommodation options to cater for every taste and budget. The setting is spectacular with long, golden sandy beaches and a backdrop of mountains. The area is an award winner for environmentally friendly developments and sustainable tourism. There are many rare species of plant and wildlife indigenous to the area.
