Get to know Antalya

Your first weeks in Antalya
Get lost in Kaleiçi, end at the old harbor
Ottoman houses, Roman walls and bougainvillea lanes sloping down to a tiny crescent harbor cut into the cliffs.
Sunset from Karaalioğlu Park
Tea at the cliff edge, the whole gulf below, and the Beydağları mountains turning purple across the water.
Evenings on the Konyaaltı promenade
A long pebble beach with mountains rising straight out of the sea — and the city's after-work swim ritual.

Real stories from Smileys members in our other cities.
"Two years ago I attended my first Smileys activity on International Women’s Day. Even though it was my first time meeting most of the people there, I felt like I was among sisters rather than strangers. Smileys isn’t just a group for activities — it’s a place that brings kind people together and creates real friendships and beautiful memories."
Sara K.
Member since 2023
"I'm not naturally a social person. Big parties and networking events drain me. Smileys was different from day one — smaller groups, real conversations, no pressure. It's the first community I've ever actually stayed in."
David K.
Software engineer
"I met my business partner at a Smileys dinner. Six months later we won our first project together. Some of the best professional decisions I've made started as a conversation at one of these events."
