Rixos Downtown Antalya

Situated 30 kilometers away from the Antalya province and midway between Antalya and Side, Belek makes a quaint holiday destination. The ancient and the modern co-exist here to give Belek a unique flavor. A blend of historical sites, sun kissed beaches and world-class golf courses together with a salubrious climate make Belek attractive to the young and the old alike. Added to this is a wide range of luxury hotels to make the stay exciting and comfortable. Furthermore, a host of friendly Turkish people makes Belek undoubtedly warm and charming.

Also known as Old Antalya, the small historic section called Kaleiçi (KAH-leh-ee-chee) at the center of the sprawling modern city was the Roman town, then the Byzantine, then the Seljuk Turkish, and finally the Ottoman Turkish town. The huge, modern city of Antalya didn't really start to appear until after World War II. Until then, Kaleiçi was Antalya, with its massive stone walls, meandering streets, and picturesque old houses built so close they often overshadow the narrow lanes.

Beldibi is located at a distance of 25 km to the west of the provincial center of Antalya. Beldibi is today included within the “Olympos Beydaðlarý National Coastal Park” and located on a thin, long plain covering an area of four thousand acres from cape Reis to Akyarlar. To the east of the plain mountains plunge very steeply into the sea, forming cliffs of falez rock. Three families that came to the area, which was completely covered by oak forests until one hundred and fifty years ago, built up a settlement here and, subsequently, with those coming from Anamur the population increased and it became a neighborhood under the Mukhtar.
