ANTALYA is the land "where the sun laughs".
It was 2000 years ago… King Attalus II of Pergamum ordered his best riders: “Go and find a place on earth that all the kings and rulers would envy me on earth!"
Knowing the difficulty, if not the impossibility of the task, the riders began their journey. Days passed, months, but nothing around looked like the place described by their master. Finally, at the intersection of roads now called Cubuk Beli, the gates of paradise opened to them.
The evening froze with charm ... At the foot of the snow-capped mountains, surrounded by the greenery of untouched forests, the silver shores melted in the fire of the setting sun and the endless, indigo-colored, sea surface!
Descending down the hills of the Taurus, they felt themselves captivated by the abundance of colors of the heavenly plains. They saw incomparable natural beauty, and were convinced that they had finally found paradise. The riders galloped back to the king, and announced: "We have carried out your order! We have found Paradise!"
The king wanted to see everything with his own eyes. The riders showed the way. Seeing the place, King Attalus agreed that this is exactly what paradise should be, and ordered to found a city here. In a short time, the people of Pergamum built a magnificent city in this most beautiful place and named it in honor of their ruler “Attaleia - Attalea”.
