Few places on the Mediterranean pack as much natural variety into one province as Antalya. Stretching from the turquoise coastline to the snow-dusted peaks of the Taurus Mountains, this is the heart of Turkey's Turquoise Coast, where pine forest, deep canyons, waterfalls and warm sea sit within easy reach of one another. Whether you are based in Antalya city, Side, Alanya, Kemer or the diving villages of Kas and Kalkan, the range of nature and outdoors in Antalya means you can swim in the morning and walk a mountain trail the same afternoon. The 52 experiences listed here cover that whole spectrum, all bookable online in a few clicks.

The mountains are the obvious starting point. Koprulu Canyon National Park is the country's most popular white-water rafting spot, its cold green river running through a gorge crossed by a Roman bridge. Above Kemer, the Olympos cable car climbs Mount Tahtali to almost 2,365 metres for sweeping coastal views, while nearby Yanartas, the eternal flames of the Chimaera, flicker from the rock after dark. Walkers can follow sections of the long-distance Lycian Way, explore Goynuk Canyon, or visit the mountain ruins of Termessos inside Gulluk Dagi National Park. Cave lovers head to Altinbesik and Karain, two of the largest cave systems in the region.

Water is the other great theme. The Duden and Kursunlu waterfalls drop through green parkland on the edge of Antalya city, and the Manavgat Falls feed the famous Green Canyon, where boat tours glide across a calm emerald reservoir. The coast itself rewards every kind of visitor: snorkelling and scuba diving over the sunken city of Kekova, sea-kayaking from Kas, jeep safaris into the Taurus foothills, and long sandy stretches at Konyaalti, Lara and Cleopatra Beach in Alanya. Dim Cave and the cool Dim River valley offer a refreshing escape on the hottest days.

From gentle family walks to adrenaline-fuelled canyoning, there are things to do here for every age and energy level, in spring blossom, high summer or the mild golden light of autumn.
