Pamphylia (Turkish: Pamfilya) is a region along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. It has long sandy beaches, water sports, Roman ruins, museums and lots of hotels, so it's a popular region all-round for holidays.
Antalya Airport (AYT) on the south edge of that city is the commonest point of arrival, as it has many budget flights from across Europe, plus connections from Istanbul (IST and SAW), Ankara, and other Turkish cities.
Read in the guideHighway D400 crosses the region east-west, a few km back from shore. Local buses and dolmuşes shuttle along the Antalya-Alanya corridor, the long-distance bus lines don't sell tickets for short hops along this stretch.
