Lieux d'événement à Antalya
Un guide pratique des principaux lieux de congrès et d'exposition d'Antalya — NEST, la Pyramide de Verre, ANFAŞ, la ceinture de resorts de Belek et le quartier historique de Kaleiçi — et comment le tramway AntRay les relie.
Antalya's event landscape
Antalya is one of the Mediterranean's busiest event destinations — a year-round flight hub ringed by purpose-built congress centres, a major trade-fair expo, a belt of five-star resort congress hotels, and a historic harbour quarter for memorable receptions. Below is a practical overview of the main venues we staff, and how to move between them.
The main venues we staff
NEST — International Convention Center
Turkey's largest congress centre, set in the heart of Belek's five-star hotel belt and operated by the Cornelia Hotels group. A single column-free main hall seats up to 10,000 — the country's largest capacity in one hall — complemented by dozens of meeting rooms and expansive foyer and open-air space.
- 15,000 m² indoor + 5,000 m² open-air event area
- Main hall: up to 10,000 seats (Turkey's largest single hall)
- 24 meeting rooms and around 5,000 m² of foyer space
- On-site at a five-star resort — rooms and F&B under one roof
Glass Pyramid (Cam Piramidi) — Sabancı Congress & Exhibition Center
Antalya's landmark glass pyramid, built by the Sabancı Foundation and opened in 1997. A two-storey, multi-purpose complex in the cultural district, combining five halls with one of the city's largest open-air exhibition plazas.

Belek resort congress belt
A ribbon of five-star resort congress hotels — Cornelia, Maxx Royal, Regnum, Gloria, and others — pairing large ballrooms and beachside lawns with full resort hospitality. The default choice for international associations and incentives.

Kaleiçi — the Old Town
The historic heart of Antalya — a walled harbour quarter layered with Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman heritage, with around 3,000 restored red-roofed houses, Hadrian's Gate, the Yivli Minaret, and a yacht marina. Ideal for welcome receptions, gala dinners, and boutique incentives.
- ~3,000 restored Ottoman-era houses and boutique venues
- Landmarks: Hadrian's Gate, Yivli Minaret, Hıdırlık Tower, marina
- Rooftop, courtyard, and yacht-charter reception spaces
- Restoration awarded the FIJET Golden Apple in 1984
Getting around: the AntRay tram
Antalya's public-transit backbone is the AntRay light-rail system, operated by Antalya Ulaşım A.Ş. The modern line runs from the north of the city through the centre and extends out to Antalya Airport, ANFAŞ, Aksu, and the EXPO site — putting several major venues within a tram ride of the terminal.
For the Old Town, the heritage Nostalji Tramvayı runs from the Antalya Museum through the centre, calling at Kale Kapısı and Üç Kapılar (Hadrian's Gate).
- Airport (Havalimanı) — direct to the city centre in roughly 30–45 minutes.
- Pınarlı ANFAŞ — at the ANFAŞ Expo Center.
- EXPO / Aksu — the EXPO 2016 site and Aksu district.
- Meydan / Şarampol — central, close to the Glass Pyramid and Kaleiçi.
- Kale Kapısı / Üç Kapılar (heritage tram) — the gates of the Old Town.
