The best place in Antalya to savor Turkish Delight is the Volkan Restaurant.

A favorite indulgence for the locals is a trip to hamam or Turkish Bath. Traditionally, people would gather for ceremonies, socialization and gossip, as well as cleansing.

Many hamams were built during the Ottoman period, and today you will find them in nearly any hotel in Turkey, including the Cender Hotel.

Among the wide variety of Turkish sweets, a favorite here is baklava. Antalya residents even organize parties featuring this refined dessert.
