Overview
The City Behind the Clinic
Antalya is Turkey's capital of the Turquoise Coast — a Mediterranean city that's been welcoming visitors since Roman times, and one of the country's most visited destinations today. It's a genuinely different experience from arriving in a purely medical-tourism hub: you land into a real resort city, with beaches, a historic centre, mountains behind it, and a huge, mature tourism infrastructure that's used to international visitors.
For our patients, that means the days around your appointments don't have to be dead time in a hotel room. Betadent is based here because it's where we're from — this page is simply an honest look at what the city itself offers.

Between Appointments
What You Can Actually Do Here
Kaleiçi Old Town — cobbled streets, restored Ottoman houses, and Hadrian's Gate, all walkable from the harbour.
The Old Harbour — boat trips along the coast, or just a walk among traditional wooden gulets at sunset.
Beaches — Lara and Konyaaltı are both minutes from the city centre, with Blue Flag-rated coastline.
Düden Waterfalls & Termessos — an easy half-day trip out of the city for anyone staying a bit longer.
