Europe Gala Ceremony

Destination

The Turkish Riviera is the tourism capital of Turkey, and an ideal location for the 2010 World Travel Awards Europe Ceremony.

Surrounded by amazing scenery of sharp contrasts, Antalya, Turkey’s principal holiday resort, is an attractive city with shady palm-lined boulevards and a prize-winning marina. In the picturesque old quarter of Kaleiçi, narrow, winding streets and old wooden houses abut the ancient city walls.

Antalya has a backdrop of stunning mountains, and the city is set high on cliffs, with many of its grandest hotels overlooking the sea on the outskirts of the town. The region, bathed in sunshine for 300 days of the year, is a paradise for sunbathing, swimming and sports activities like windsurfing, waterskiing, sailing and mountain climbing.

Antalya enjoys an authentic cuisine which is a wonderful blend of the Mediterranean and Arabic influences and has a very colourful night life.
