Pamphylia

While Pamphylia has some of the finest beaches of Mediterranean Turkey, Turkish coast isn't all about Pamphylia. The following are some of the nearby places that are also worth a trip:

Lycia to west — where you can do the gorgeous "Blue Voyage" in the coves surrounded by verdant mountains. Lots of history to see here too.

Cilician Mountains to east — beaches, pine forests, and historical sights again, but much less touristed and indeed, more sparsely populated than Pamphylia.

Northern Cyprus to southeast — it is possible to catch a ferry to Kyrenia from Alanya in high season.

Lakes District to north — over the Taurus Mountains, inland Lakes District is another off the beaten path destination.
