ntalya
is a province of festivals, film, football and fun - throughout
the year.
With the awe-inspiring Aspendos Roman Amphitheatre hosting open-air opera, ballet and jazz festivals in June, the Golden Orange short and international film festival in October, the latest blockbuster films showing in top-notch cinemas (in English) and many more events there is lots to choose from.
ASPENDOS OPERA & BALLET FESTIVAL...
Organised by the Turkish State Opera and
Ballet this festival is now in its 5th and 9th year. It
attracts large numbers of locals and holiday makers from
all over the world.
Audiences dress informally and behave informally.
Golden Orange Film Festival
The oldest festival which has taken place in Antalya over the past 33 years is the Golden Orange Film Festival along with the Golden Orange International short film festival. Celebrity artists and film producers from all over Turkey and abroad attend this event.
Other events hosted by the top hotels, the Antalya Cultural Centre and others include beer festivals, jazz nights organised by the British Council, basketball, tennis and football tournaments, classical concerts, Christmas celebrations at the birth place of St. Nicholas in Myra and one off events such as the magnificent dance show of international acclaim to be staged on Broadway: Sultans of the Dance.
