City-side postcode
Colakli village is flanked on both sides by some of Turkey’s biggest cultural icons. To the west sits the cosmopolitan capital of the Turkish Riviera, Antalya. And to the east, you’ll come across the historical hub of Side. Daytrips in either direction give you a great chance to dive deep into classic Turkish sights, like jam-packed bazaars and crumbling ruins.
Turkey’s wild side

You can cruise up into the mountains in less than an hour, and once you’re there, you’ll be greeted by views of sparkling lakes and thick forests. Green Canyon’s a great place to start – you’ll find boatloads of white-water rapids and stream-side hiking trials here.

Amphitheatres, churches, old fountains and temples – the entire place feels like an open-air museum, so have your comfy shoes handy.
