There’s bountiful of food on the table, fireworks exploding in the sky. Everyone around you seems to be counting down the seconds before the clock strikes midnight.

You, on the other hand, are wondering about your hopes, resolutions and plans for the New Year. How about traveling to the magnificent Turkish city of Antalya?

Recently, the city hosted the 2015 G-20 Summit—a conference that discusses global security crisis and the fight against terrorism. Participating countries included Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Republic of Korea, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, and the European Union. The summit was held November last year.

Aside from accommodating the G-20 representatives, Antalya offers variety of landmarks tourists can visit—the Central Clock Tower with a white facade that stands out from afar, the red and yellow tram leading many travellers to the city’s various landmarks and the Düden Waterfalls that flows directly to the Mediterranean Sea.

Kaleiçi City is also a unique destination with its rich combination of Roman, Seljuk, Ottoman, Byzantine, and Turkish architecture. Historical structures also grace the city from the Temple of Apollo, the ancient city of Myra to the amphitheatre with columns that still stand today. You can also shop, dine, and have the best lifestyle getaway at the Mark Antalya Mall and the Mardan Palace Luxury Hotel.

The New Year rings a new chapter for exciting adventures. Make the best out of 2016! May you have a prosperous year ahead!
