Belek as a resort began only 35 years ago. The city in Antalya province attracts tourists with its wide beaches from May to September; in the remaining months, golf lovers come here.
Since the city is young, there are few attractions in it, but within a radius of 50 kilometers you will find different places, from ancient theaters and caves to modern centers.
The main dream of the city of Belek and a landscaped garden with a waterfall
The Belek Kamii Mosque was created at the end of the 20th century. The building is topped with a dome in the center and has two minarets. This is an example of a national religious construct. If you want to go inside, take care to cover your clothes and take off your shoes before entering, and in the evening you must also cover your head.
There is always a lot of noise around the mosque: this is the very heart of a small tourist town. If you look at the map, below the mosque there is a landscaped garden, its main element is a huge multi-level artificial waterfall, in front of which the name of the city is written in multi-colored letters. Few tourists leave here without taking a photo. As you know, Belek does not have its own airport, so we recommend using a transfer from Belek to Antalya, when you fly back. It’s much more convenient and faster.
Entrance to the mosque and garden is free. If you live in Belek, you can get to the city center on foot from anywhere. There are shuttle buses (dolmushi) from the village of Kadriye. From the hotel on the beach line you can take a taxi.
Central fountain of Kadriye
From the main mosque of Belek to the center of the tourist village of Kadriye, where the Kadriye fountain is located, is 7 kilometers, the drive takes less than 15 minutes. Buses and taxis also stop near the fountain.
The fountain has a unique multi-level design, consists of many bowls of different shapes, is made of beige tiles and fits organically into the flower garden.
Kadriye market
A real Turkish bazaar takes place in Kadriye on Tuesdays. From the roundabout to Atatürk Cd. and the central fountain – to the right, the market occupies several neighboring streets. Usually open from 8:00 to 15:00. Simple souvenir shops are open daily from 9:00 to 24:00.
The Kadriye market is famous for its high prices and at the same time unobtrusive sellers. Don’t forget to bargain, this is the East!
You can buy absolutely everything here: from fruits, vegetables and traditional Turkish sweets to leather and fur products, jewelry and handmade dishes.
Kadriye park
In the center of the village, conventionally between the main fountain and the main mosque, there is a pleasant youth and cultural park (Kadriye Gençlik Ve Kültür Parkı). You can enter the park 24 hours a day and free of

The queen of the French Riviera, Nice drips elegance and panache from every belle époque palace, baroque chapel and Mediterranean-blue chair on the prom. The capital of France's celebrity-stalked Côte d’Azur might be modest in size, but the choice of things to see and do in this iconic coastal town stretches well beyond bracing strolls along Promenade des Anglais and lizard-lounging on bum-numbing pebbles on the seashore.
