From ancient theatres hosting opera under the stars to harbor-side jazz nights — there's always something on in Antalya.
Antalya's calendar runs on a mix of ancient and modern: the Aspendos International Opera & Ballet Festival fills a 2,000-year-old Roman theatre every summer, while the Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival — Turkey's oldest, running since 1963 — takes over the city's cinemas and public squares each October.
Beyond the two headline festivals, expect a steady calendar of harbor-side concerts, seasonal beach club parties, and cultural events tied to Kaleiçi's old town. Whatever time of year you visit, check what's on below before you land.
