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.

Anchorages
Çirali Liman
The cove of Çirali Liman [36° 23.8' N 30° 28.8' E] is exposed to the N but one can anchor here in settled weather or in the afternoon but even the S-SE can raise some swell. It is better to anchor at Çeneviz Liman and come here with the dinghy. The beach is very attractive with water coming from the Olympos ravine. This is the only beach in Turkey that we saw topless bathing.
Çeneviz Liman
Çeneviz Liman [36° 22' N 30° 31' E] or Genoese Harbor is a wonderful, but crowded, anchorage in a dramatic setting surrounded by mountains the near by Musa Dagi peak (987 m) towering over the cove and the not so distant Mt. Olympos to the North often enveloped in the clouds.
Anchor where there is space at 5-10 m depths, sandy bottom. Good holding. It is best to also use a shore line and avoid swinging towards the many gulets as the preeminently norther wind can swing to the S-SE in the evening.
Caution: Avoid the rocks at the entrance of the cove and at the SW.
