Booked this as a solo trip and it was well paced. Köprülü Canyon white-water rafting in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Our trip to Antalya was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Yivli Minare (Fluted Minaret) was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

Karaalioğlu Park alone was worth the trip, but combined with Perge ancient city ruins this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.
