Antalya’s Hotels

With kids’ clubs, kids pools, evening entertainment and waterslides, we have loads of hotels we can recommend for a family holiday in Antalya. Just give us a call and we’ll guide you to the best one for your needs. 
Hadrian’s Gate
One of the largest cities in <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/turkey">Turkey</a> and an important city on the West of the country and known as the “Gateway to the East”, Antalya is brimming with history and interest. 
Hadrian’s Gate, also known as the ‘Three Gates’, is a magnificent triumphal arch built in 130 AD for the Roman emperor Hadrian’s visit to the city. Scholars acknowledge Hadrian’s Gate as one of the most beautiful city wall gates in the world, and the decoration and intricacy of carving is stunning. It is believed, pre-dating Hadrian by a millennium, that this is the spot that the Queen of Sheba relaxed on her way to visit King Solomon. 
Kaleici District
The historical centre of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/turkey/antalya">Antalya</a> is worth a full day’s exploration with treasures from throughout the centuries around every corner. The first order of business would be to visit the main square – the Kapisi, with its ancient clock tower and the statue of the city’s founder Attalus II. Then take a walk among the rows of bazaars, Ottoman buildings and amazing mosques in the area. This is the area of the city in which to get lost on purpose and happen across a small Turkish restaurant offering a lunchtime menu meze for a bargainous price! 
Düden Waterfalls
If you’re looking for some R&amp;R then one of the most peaceful spots in Anatalya is the Duden Waterfalls. A natural wonder, nature reserve and picnic area, the falls will delight the nature lover in your party. 
The two sources of the waterfalls are the Kirkgozler and Pinarbasi rivers. They converge to form the Biyikli pothole and disappear into it. The word Duden means “a hole that swallows water sources”. The falls consist of two sites, the Upper and the Lower Duden, both of which can be visited for free. 
Lara Beach
The reasons most people come to Antalya is for the fabulous Lara Beach. Home to many of the best hotels, restaurants and clubs, Lara Beach is an excellent spot to spend your time in Antalya. A wide, scenic, sandy beach at just over 12kms long, this is the place to see and be seen in Antalya. If you’re looking to enjoy beach life, cocktails in the evening and peaceful places to relax during the day, then Lara Beach is the place to be. 
We hope this has tempted you into booking <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/turkey/antalya">Antalya holiday</a> - you certainly won’t regret it!

However, today we look at which of the four <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/canary-islands">Canary Islands</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/canary-islands/gran-canaria">Gran Canaria</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/canary-islands/lanzarote">Lanzarote</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/canary-islands/tenerife">Tenerife</a> or <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/canary-islands/fuerteventura">Fuerteventura</a> best suits your personal holiday needs! 
<h2>Gran Canaria</h2>
The Party Animal: Gran Canaria is one of the most popular destinations along with <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/canary-islands/tenerife">Tenerife</a>, for clubbers. In addition to her beautiful beaches, <a href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/canary-islands/gran-canaria" target="_blank">Gran Canaria holidays</a> benefits from superb night entertainment, with a never-ending stream of parties and events in a large number of bars and discotheques. Both gay and straight, these epic nights party on until dawn. The island is definitely the ideal destination for those who want to combine beaches, sea and night-time fun. 
The Fitness Fanatic: With long GR hiking routes across her varied landscapes, bike clubs in every town and the most gyms per square meter and the longest coastline with the most water sports – if you’re into your fitness then Gran Canaria has to be the island of choice. 
The Nature Lover: Gran Canaria’s UNESCO natural reserve is so stunning you’ll wonder why it’s not mentioned on every travel programme. The reserve actively supports the conservation of the truly diverse flora and fauna of the island. With pine forests, palm trees, a coastline boasting tall cliffs and sand banks, this area is home to one million natural species – this impressive biosphere will inspire the nature lover in you.

<h2>Lanzarote</h2>
The Foodie: All the islands of the Canaries share pretty much the same regional specialities from Papas to Rancho Canario and you’ll find all these delights in the hotels and local restaurants. However, one island stands out for its wine and that’s <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/canary-islands/lanzarote">Lanzarote</a>. In the last 10 years Lanzarote has undergone a viticultural transformation and now produces some of the most sought after wines in all of Spain from its Malvasía Volcánica grape. 
The Environmentalist: Like <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/canary-islands/gran-canaria">Gran Canaria</a>, Lanzarote has some spectacular volcanic landscapes, but the otherworldly Timanfaya National Park, whose moon-like terrain looks like something from a Matt Damon film, fills a visitor with wonder. This is our number one recommendation for an excursion on a <a href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/canary-islands/lanzarote" target="_blank">Lanzarote holiday</a>. 
The Cyclist: Many professional cyclists train on Lanzarote for its challenging and varied terrain. Amateurs should prepare themselves for the wind and be sure to tackle the beautiful climb through Tabayesco and up to the Mirador de Haria. Bikes can be hired throughout the island and often directly at the hotel as cycling is so popular.
<img alt="Vineyards in La Geria, Lanzarote" src="https://images-blog.teletext.com/blogs/s3fs-public/1038X576-body2-Which-Canary-Island-should-I-visit.jpg?TbOpqob0Lrjlo_eTKSXTA9sybfpQ6otr" style="width: 1038px; height: 576px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Vineyards in La Geria, Lanzarote" /> 
<h2>Tenerife</h2>
The Beach Bum: Playa de Papagayo is perhaps the best known beach in the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/canary-islands">Canary Islands</a>. Playa de Papagayo actually comprises a series of beaches separated by volcanic rocks. The main beach is the last one before the bridge, and also the only one with a bar – a chiringuito bar-restaurant that is always busy. The sand on Papagayo is light and golden with lovely aquamarine water that’s top for snorkelling.&nbsp; 
The Water Lover: The aqua parks on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/canary-islands/tenerife">Tenerife</a> are top notch with the most famous being Siam Park, a Thai-themed park featuring many slides, a wave pool and a Thai floating market. The island benefits from several water parks that are ideal for cooling down both hot teenagers and toddlers alike. 
The Hiker: The world famous hiking trail, the Masca Trail is one of the most popular hikes on the island, beginning at the village and winding down to the rocky beach below. On this trail you will get to see the Los Gigantes cliffs and the village of Masca in an impressively isolated and picturesque gorge, Masca is generally considered to be Tenerife's prettiest village.
<img alt="A Man hiking a mountain at Teide National Park, Tenerife" src="https://images-blog.teletext.com/blogs/s3fs-public/1038X576-body3-Which-Canary-Island-should-I-visit.jpg?IB1NVBTFk9PBtyfDNdrj6_CN2BEJzAe6" style="width: 1038px; height: 575px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="A Man hiking a mountain at Teide National Park, Tenerife" /> 
<h2>Fuerteventura</h2>
The Sea Dog: The place where many sailors come to train and up their skills, Fuerteventura offers sailing day trips, private hires on a range of powered and sail boats. 
THE Island Hopper: The top day trip from <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/canary-islands/fuerteventura">Fuerteventura</a> is the impressive Isla de Lobos, once populated by sea wolves (monk seals) and now by an even sparser number of human settlers in the handful of shacks in the main drag of El Puertito. The only way to reach the island is by boat and many day trips from Corralejo run daily, you wont be alone! 
The Animal Lover: Our favourite thing about <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.teletextholidays.co.uk/guides/canary-islands/fuerteventura">Fuerteventura</a> was the natural wildlife running around the towns and villages and especially the Barbary ground squirrels who will constantly tail you hoping you will drop a nut, a crisps, apple slice or anything. There are wild donkeys too to feed and coo at along the coast.
<img alt="A Squirrel playing on a rock mountain" src="https://images-blog.teletext.com/blogs/s3fs-public/1038X576-body4-Which-Canary-Island-should-I-visit.jpg?UycxVKL6Oti0LTfd7VCJPy8ph68vrOV9" style="width: 1038px; height: 575px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="A Squirrel playing on a rock mountain" />

Adventure Holidays for Adrenaline Junkies

<div>Are you an adrenaline junkie? Do you enjoy exciting, dangerous, or intense activities? If you do then below are some thrill-seeking activities just for you in some fantastic holiday destinations.</div>
 
<h2>
	Canyoning, Lake Garda</h2>
<div>
	Palvico is the most impressive and thrilling canyon in Northern Italy. Huge waterfalls, amazing cliff jumps, crazy slides, big caves and a breathtaking 50m waterfall abseil all make this canyoning trip an experience to remember!</div>
<div>
	Canyon through a crystal clear glacial river, abseil a 165ft waterfall and coast down a 26ft rock slide and experience nature at its finest.</div>
<div>
	Situated next to the surreal calm Lake Garda you will find waterfalls and streams. The Ledro Valley hosts the intricate rock formations of the Palvico Canyon for an amazing canyoning experience.</div>
<div>
	Your guide can be met in the town of Arco, just north of Lake Garda, and then you will drive to the starting point. This adventure takes you through steep walls and narrow passes where you will discover the nature of the Lake Garda region. Travel through the water and swim through high rock passages. There is so much to explore and your guide will help you through the paths and down the walls on the ropes to ensure you are safe and enjoying this experience.</div>
<div>
	If you love heights, you will love this trip. There is so much to do here which is why Palvico Canyon is known as one of the most amazing canyoning locations in Northern Italy.</div>
<div>
	This adventure will take around 2 hours and will certainly leave you wanting more!</div>
 
<h2>
	Flyboarding in Mexico</h2>
<div>
	How do flyboards work? They take the water output from a jet ski and channel it through a connected hose to a board with jets on the bottom. The board will be strapped to your feet and the jets under the board push upwards as the jet ski operator increases the throttle. So much fun to be had here!</div>
<div>
	Fly over the most picturesque beaches when on a cheap holiday to Cancun. You may think this is a difficult extreme activity, but it is easy to learn and you will thoroughly enjoy it. Once you have mastered the art of flyboarding you can't wait to do it again!&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Your heart will be racing from the moment you lift off the board and start to ascend into the air and above the sea. You get that feeling of flying like a bird as you fly up to 45 feet into the air. Always keep your legs straight and find your balance, and once you master that you are on your way and will remember how you did it, a bit like driving, so next time you try it with more confidence you can learn some tricks!</div>
 
<h2>
	Bulgaria White Water Rafting</h2>
<div>
	If you don’t mind getting soaked why not try water rafting? Bulgaria offers several rivers which are amazing for water sports, especially during the early summer and spring seasons. One of these rivers is the Struma River, which also flows into Greece. The river rises from the Vitosha Mountain in Bulgaria and moves westwards before moving southward.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The Struma River sports rapids of category III and V. With high proximity of waves, the white waters offer amazing rafting challenges. Other than cutting through the waves and getting past huge boulders, you can even kayak in the calmer parts of the Struma River. Floating through the calmer waters is truly a tranquil experience with beautiful scenery of the riverside and amazing forests around the river. There are also some interesting wrecks where you can take part in driving activities.</div>
 
<h2>
	Bobsledding in Jamaica</h2>
<div>
	Inspired by the Jamaican bobsled team, Jamaican Mystic Mountain Adventure Park offers a tourist-friendly version of the sport.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The Jamaican Bobsled attraction is a unique and eco-friendly way to experience one of the best experiences the island has to offer, such as the heart of its mountainous rainforests. This ride races you down a path that cuts through the rainforest with individually controlled handbrakes allowing you to control how fast you go. Higher speeds are better if you want that adrenaline rush and slower speeds allow you to enjoy the amazing sights of the jungle.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Travel through the treetops on a 1,000-meter-long suspended track. You can also explore other areas of the park including a water slide, infinity pool, and hummingbird garden or travel through one of the many scenic nature trails. The views over Ocho Rios are also amazing.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Experiencing an Olympic-inspired bobsled ride is like no other! You will be met by a friendly guide who will ensure you are secured in the Sky Explorer chair to make your way up to your Bobsled starting point. Here you can begin to take in the amazing scenery of Ocho Rios. This is truly an amazing experience, just don’t forget your camera!</div>

Teletext Holidays is Back on TV

We're excited to announce that Teletext Holidays is back on TV with a brand-new advertising campaign, marking the start of a major multi-phase marketing programme that will continue throughout 2026.
 

 You can watch the new advert here:

 The campaign has been created in partnership with award-winning full-service marketing agency CNS Media and is designed to remind holidaymakers that booking a holiday doesn't have to be complicated.
 

 Real People. Real Holidays.


 Let's be honest. Booking a holiday online isn't always the relaxing experience it's supposed to be.
 

 One minute you're comparing hotels, the next you're buried under dozens of tabs, hundreds of reviews, changing prices and chatbots that never quite answer the question you're asking. 
 Sound familiar? That's the insight behind our new TV advert.
 

 Rather than spending hours searching online, our campaign highlights a simpler alternative – speaking directly to one of our holiday experts who can help find the right holiday for you.

 Why We're Returning to TV


 Teletext Holidays has been helping customers find great-value holidays for decades, and we're now investing in taking that message to an even wider audience.
 

 The first phase of the campaign is being delivered through addressable TV, allowing us to connect with holidaymakers in key regions of the UK. Later phases will expand into linear television as we continue to grow awareness of the Teletext Holidays brand.
 

 This is just the beginning of a wider four-phase marketing strategy that will run throughout 2026 and beyond.
 

 One Call and Your Holiday is Sorted


 At Teletext Holidays, we believe there is still a place for expert advice.
 

 While many travel companies continue to push customers towards self-service booking journeys, we're proud to offer something different.
 

 When you call Teletext Holidays, you'll speak to a real person who can help you compare destinations, find the best value deals and answer your questions before you book.


 It's a simpler, more personal way to book a holiday.

 A Word From The Team


 Ricky Durrance at Teletext Holidays, said:


 “This campaign represents a significant milestone for Teletext Holidays as we return to television advertising and begin the first phase of a wider marketing programme designed to drive both brand awareness and holiday bookings.”
 

 “Consumers have more choice than ever when it comes to booking holidays, but that doesn't always mean the process is easier. We know many people find online booking frustrating, whether that's comparing countless options, dealing with changing prices or struggling to get answers from automated systems.”
 

 “Our campaign highlights a simple alternative. Customers can speak directly with one of our holiday experts, who can help find a holiday that suits their needs. It offers a more personal booking experience and provides a simpler and more convenient way to plan a holiday.”
