You will find a suitable destination for a beach holiday with the family, especially on the Turkish Riviera. Here too, numerous hotels are lined up around the provincial capital Antalya. But time-honored port cities such as Side and Alanya have blossomed again in recent decades and other cities such as Belek or Konakli have only become small towns through tourism.
