Belek is a modern and renowned tourist resort situated on the famous Turquoise Riviera (or Antalya Coast) in Turkey. It is universally recognized as the Turkish golf capital, hosting numerous world-class championship courses. More than a historic town, Belek is an oasis of five-star luxury resorts, featuring long, wide sandy beaches and crystalline waters, flanked by rich ancient history in the immediate vicinity, perfectly combining beach relaxation, sports, and culture.

What to See and Experience according to our local guides: Sea, Sports, and Antiquity

• Golf Courses – An unmissable experience for enthusiasts. The courses, designed by famous architects, are often set among pine and eucalyptus forests.
• Belek Beaches – The beaches are wide, sandy, and awarded the Blue Flag, ideal for families and enjoying the Mediterranean. Most hotels offer private access and exclusive services.
• Köprülü Canyon National Park – We recommend visiting this park for an adventurous rafting excursion on the Köprüçay River or for exploring the Roman ruins of the ancient city of Selge.
• Aspendos Ruins – A short distance away, the impressive and well-preserved Aspendos Roman Theatre is worth a visit at sunset, the ideal time to admire its majesty and legendary acoustics.

Gastronomy and Typical Products

• Turkish Meze – A selection of cold and hot appetizers, perfect for starting a dinner with a sea view (e.g., Haydari, Babagannuş, Sigara Böreği).
• Kebab and Köfte – Iconic dishes of Turkish cuisine, often prepared with high-quality local meats in the area's restaurants.
• Turkish Tea (Çay) and Baklava – Don't leave Turkey without savoring a glass of tea and the pastries made from phyllo dough and honey.

Real Experience: Exclusive Relaxation and Ancient History

The Belek experience is total luxury. We suggest combining mornings dedicated to golf or poolside relaxation at your luxury resort with an afternoon of cultural exploration, perhaps with a guided tour of Aspendos followed by a fresh seafood dinner at one of the local taverns outside the large resorts, for an authentic taste of Turkey.
