Golfin Antalya Golf in Antalya Golf in Belek Belek, one of Antalya’s most popular holiday centres, has become not only a brand name in Turkey, but one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world thanks to its unsurpassed natural beauty and perfect climate. Located 30 kilometers from Antalya, Belek has a seventeen-kilometer coastline lined with numerous five star hotels. Since the early 1990s, Belek has offered its guests the most comfortable holiday opportunity in the Mediterranean. Among the features that make Belek such an attractive location in the region is its ease of access and the ancient cities situated nearby. The region hosted numerous civilisations throughout its thousands of years of history, and with its fertile lands has been a centre of attention in every period. Though Belek has a typical Mediterranean climate, the freshwater streams which flow from the slopes of the Taurus Mountains give it different characteristics than other Mediterranean locations. Thanks to its large sand dunes, its beaches are sheltered from the harsh effects of the sea and wind. With all these features in place, Belek offers a magnificent atmosphere, not only as a tourism centre, but as an area that contains all the distinctive Mediterranean characteristics. For many years now, Belek has been one of the foremost holiday destinations for sports tourism in our country. It owes its preeminent position in this regard to its climate, geographical location and undeniably to its committed implementation of sustainable tourism policies. Belek and its hotels are highly popular with sports clubs and cater to their needs across all sports year-round. Belek has also become an indispensable destination for golf tourism in Europe. Belek’s superb climate is conducive to playing golf almost twelve months of the year. Belek has golf clubs of world standard, luxurious accommodation facilities and one of the best golfing infrastructures, which makes the area so attractive to golf enthusiasts. Belek has ten golf clubs and fourteen golf courses offering high-quality, professional service to Turkish sports tourism. Belek is also one of the biggest sources of income in this field. In 2012, a decision of the Council of Ministers decreed that particular new tourism hubs would focus exclusively on golf. These include the districts of Emişbeleni, Mahmutlar, Kargıcak, Okurcalar and Türkler in the region of Alanya, 50 kilometers from Belek. With this decision the volume of golf tourism in the region will significantly increase and Antalya will continue as an indispensable location for the sport of golf. Belek has 47 five star hotels and holiday villages, 10 golf clubs, 14 golf courses, 50 football fields and more than 200 tennis courts that serve professional and amateur athletes.

Gönen Atabey Travelogues, especially those written in the 19th century Keçiborlu D695 by Western archaeologists, historians, artists, architects, D330 sailors and geographers, refer to the nature around Antalya Konya Eğirdir as “extraordinary.” The depiction of Antalya’s natural D330 Acıgöl th environment by the 19 century traveller Karl Lanckoronski is D650 Aksu Denizli Lake especially noteworthy: Isparta Beyşehir Gölcük Davraz Ski Lake Nature Park Center D695 “Anyone who wants to witness the beauty of the mountains Burdur Yenişarbademli Lake Gölcük should come here.

The forests in the region are situated on sand dunes and form the most extensive vegetation. The dense Mediterranean stone pine forests are known to be local to the area. Under the dense pine forests are Mediterranean shrubs, and a thick cover of maquis runs towards the beach. These forests are highly rich in the variety of flowers and fauna they possess. Visually, the most beautiful and abundant scenes are also here. Belek’s natural habitat diversity is based on the wealth of its flowers. 58 families, 118 species, and16 subspecies of flowers have been classified. The most abundant flower species are found in the coastal dune vegetation (27 families, 51 species) and in stone pine forests (31 families, 51 species). In 1995, 40 unclassified plant species were identified. The classification of 48 exotic species from 28 botanical families was also made. • While there are around 12,000 plant species found throughout Europe, this figure is around 10,000 in Turkey alone. • Among the 600 endemic plant species that are found in the Mediterranean region, 500 are found in and around Antalya. • There are more than 118 plant species in Belek and more than 40 are endemic to the area. Belek and Natural Habitat Since Belek had a dense population throughout the years, the number of species that live there is limited to those animals that could adapt to human habitation and small areas. Close to 200 species of vertebrates are known to inhabit this region. Among these species are 38 mammals, 88 birds, 31 reptiles and 5 amphibians. There are also 51 invertebrate species worthy of note. In the coastal areas of Belek, animal species such as foxes, weasels, squirrels and hedgehogs are often seen. Belek is one of the best areas for bird watching and many bird species use this area as their wintering or nesting location. In addition, rare reptiles such as chameleons, sea turtles, land turtles, and freshwater turtles live undisturbed in these natural habitats. The World Wildlife Foundation has always emphasised the importance of the coast of Belek to the preservation of the threatened loggerhead sea turtle (caretta caretta). This is because loggerhead sea turtles have very few breeding grounds in the world, Belek being one of them.

  • Olympian Triad
    136 Olympian Triad J G R Harcling Plates 57-fJO Part I-Winter Olympus! The very name evokes imagery, divinity and soaring aspiration­ 'Altius' of the Olympic motto. Certainly, no other mountain in classical consciousness had a greater wealth of mythological and poetic association. And this was due in part to the religious conceptions of Ancient Greece in whose cosmography the world was created as a disc with Greece its centre and Mount Olympus-touching heaven and synonymous with it-the apex; in part to its poets and particularly Homer, the literary protagonist of the Olympians. Homer's Olympus was an imaginary paradise 'not shaken by winds, nor wet with rains, nor touched with snow'. The reality is a formidable mountain, snow-bound for six months of the year. But then, the Ancient Greeks had no real sympathy for mountains or mountain scenery. According to the Protago­ rean ethic, man was the measure of all things and humanism the dominant philosophy. The gods who inhabited Olympus were themselves a reflection of Man. For the Greeks the magic of the mountains was not scenic but rather their association with the spirits of nature and particularly the Oreads-nymphs whose task it was to guide the weary traveller through the dreary upland wastes. Although Homer's Olympus was more a concept than a reality, the mountain which is indisputably identified as the home of the Gods from which Zeus despatched his thunderbolts is the great massif rising almost 3000m from the shores of the Gulf of Thermae. From time immemorial it has been an obstacle to invaders moving down from Macedonia to the plains of Thessaly and on this high stage were enacted numberless mythological dramas.

Kemer Kemer is a seaside resort and district of Antalya Province on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, 40 km (25 mil) west of the city of Antalya, on the Turkish Riviera. Kemer is on the Gulf of Antalya, 53 km (33 mi) of sea coast with the skirts of the western Taurus Mountains behind. The coast has the typical Mediterranean hot, dry weather and warm sea. Until the early 1980s this was a quiet rural district but today the town of Kemer and coastal villages in the district play a very important part in tourism in Turkey. Tourism in Kemer One of the major attractions of Kemer is its natural beauty; sea, mountains and pine forest combine in harmony. The shore from Beldibi to Tekirova consists of unspoilt beaches in bays of various sizes, mostly stony rather than sand. With easy transportation, good communication and other municipal services Kemer has a large proportion of the hotel bed capacity of the Antalya region, and is a comfortable and peaceful holiday coast with internationally accepted reputation, attracting large numbers of visitors from countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, and in recent years predominantly families from Russia.
