Looking to escape the rainy days of the British summertime, but not sure where to go to make the most of that last-minute getaway? Antalya, a beautiful resort city in Turkey, has something for every member of the family to enjoy. With Sun Express now offering 3 flights a week from Leeds Bradford until November, there’s never been a better time to explore this stunning location.

Antalya is filled to the brim with things to see and do. Set amongst the backdrop of magnificent golden beaches with crystal-clear waters, the hustle and bustle of the city competes for your attention against the spectacular historical ruins.

If you’re watching the pennies, you’ll be happy to know just what great value Antalya offers.  As it stands, the exchange rate from the British Pound to the Turkish Lira means that each pound is worth about 42 Turkish Lira; you'll only need around 6 quid per person for a nice meal in Antalya, perfect for families on a budget. And getting there won’t cost the earth either, with flights from under £100 per person with SunExpress from Leeds Bradford Airport.

You’ll have plenty of time to soak in the sunshine whilst you explore, with sunseekers all but guaranteed to be able to enjoy the beach with sea temperatures averaging 23 C or above from June to October. Antalya is perfect for people looking for a bit of culture too, with highlights including an amazingly well-preserved theatre, the best-preserved Roman stadium in Western Turkey, Roman Baths, immense Hellenistic Defenses, and the once ancient prosperous settlement of Perge.

Why not start your holiday the right way by relaxing in one of the Leeds Bradford Airport lounges. You’ll be able to enjoy runway views in comfortable and stylish surroundings with complimentary food and drink; just don’t forget to book in advance to avoid disappointment! If you’re looking for a pre-flight meal or drink, Leeds Bradford Airport has you covered there too, as you can enjoy a bite or relaxing drink in one of their many restaurants, cafes or bars. And of course, what’s time spent at the airport without the chance to shop till you drop? Try on sunglasses, find your fragrance and beat the high street in World Duty Free. Or pick up some nibbles for your flight, some light reading for your sun lounger or last-minute essentials in one of the many shops. It’s worth making time to buy before you fly.

Take a break or get exploring; no matter how you choose to spend your holiday, enjoy your time at Antalya when you fly with SunExpress at Leeds Bradford Airport.
