Antalya (Port of entry)
Background
Antalya's history begins in the 2nd century BC when Attalus II (160-139 BC), the king of Pergamun, founded the city. It was originally named Attaleia, a name which was kept until the Ottomans. Soon Attaleia became a Roman city. It was visited by the Roman emperor Hadrian and by St. Paul. It was used during the Crusades as a staging post. In the 12th century AD, Attaleia was taken for a brief period from the Byzantines by the Selçul Turks. Finally during the reign of the Ottoman sultan Yildirim Beyazit it was conquered by the Ottomans. After World War I it was ceded to Italy in 1918 but in 1921 it was retaken by the Turks.
Today Antalya is a thriving city of over 1 million inhabitants. The old town, near the harbor is very charming. It has a lot of very nicely restored houses which have been turned into very fancy hotels. The whole place is very upscale. The new town has a very nice and wide esplanade overlooking the sea but it is surrounded by many new concrete block housing.
