All 19 districts of Antalya: the central districts, the coastal districts and the inland districts in the Taurus mountains.
Antalya is one of Türkiye's largest provinces by area and is made up of 19 districts. Its coastline approaches 640 kilometres, while the same provincial borders also contain mountain villages above 2,000 metres. Below we list the districts grouped by character.
RegionsThe five adjoining districts that make up the city itself.
Antalya's historic and administrative core. Kaleiçi, the marina, Karaalioğlu Park and the city's liveliest bazaars are all here, along with the cliff-top shoreline that runs east towards Lara.
The city's western side, known for its 7-kilometre pebble beach, the Bey Mountains backdrop and a modern seaside promenade. The Antalya Museum, the aquarium and the Tünektepe cable car are all in this district.
Antalya's most populous district and largely residential. The Upper Düden Waterfall and some of the city's widest green spaces lie within its borders.
On the eastern side, the district that hosts the airport. Perge Ancient City and part of Lara beach fall within Aksu, where greenhouse farming and tourism sit side by side.
North of the centre, spreading across the plain. It is home to prehistoric settlements such as Karain Cave and is also known for its hand-woven Döşemealtı carpets.
Tourism districts running west to east along the Mediterranean coast.
130 km east of the centre, a busy resort famous for the castle on its peninsula and Cleopatra Beach. It is one of the districts with the highest share of long-stay and foreign residents.
A nature-led district that grew around the river of the same name. Its waterfall, the Köprülü Canyon rafting routes and the ancient city of Side all belong to Manavgat administratively.
The district that contains Belek, where golf courses and five-star resorts are concentrated. The ancient theatre of Aspendos also stands within Serik.
A stretch of coves where pine forest reaches the sea. It hosts ancient and natural landmarks such as Phaselis, Olympos and Yanartaş, plus several Lycian Way stages.
A greenhouse-farming hub with little tourist crowding. The Adrasan and Çıralı coves and part of Olympos fall within Kumluca.
A quiet harbour district famous for its oranges. A long sandy beach, a marina and the Taurus slopes behind it make for a holiday away from the crowds.
The plain where ancient Myra was founded. The Church of St Nicholas (Santa Claus), rock-cut Lycian tombs and the harbour of Andriake pack a great deal of history into a small area.
At the western tip, known for diving and boutique travel. Kaputaş, Patara, Kalkan and Kekova — some of Antalya's best-known natural sites — are all inside this district.
East of Alanya, Antalya's easternmost district. Banana and tropical fruit farming stand out; the coast is calm and largely undeveloped.
Cooler, quieter districts within the Taurus mountains.
A farming district on a high plateau north-west of the centre. Summers are cooler than in the city; apples and wheat dominate. The road to Termessos passes through here.
A mountain district inside the Taurus range, known for its traditional interlocking-timber 'düğmeli' houses. Cedar forests, high pastures and caves open it up to nature travel.
Antalya's least populated district, entirely surrounded by mountains and forest. Altınbeşik Cave, explored by rowing boat, is its best-known site.
As the name suggests ('elma' = apple), a high-altitude district built on apple growing. Cedar forests, archaeological mounds and cool summers give it the character of the interior.
North of Alanya, a mountain district of steep valleys and highland villages. Almost untouched by tourism — for hikers and those after upland village life.
