Antalyaspor Club Atatürk Stadium Turkey

Ground - Atatürk Stadium

Super League


Antalyaspor Atatürk Stadium  spiritual home .

The team play in the Turkish Super League at the Akdeniz University Stadium ( 7,083 ) and move to a new 41,703 Antalya Stadium next season . They have also played at The Mardan Sports Complex for two years as their Atatürk Stadium  does not meet the required standards

As you can see the ground is surrounded by high rise buildings but there is a beautiful harbour close by which gives a superb scenic view .

Caught the local bus in Side to Manavgat Coach Station  ( Otogar  ) - changed to the coach for the 45 mile trip to Antalya - every 5 minutes along the route seemed to be a stop so it was a good 1 and a half hour journey . Lovely scenic harbour near the football stadium .

In 2014 it may be possible to visit all four stadiums if you have enough time or want to plan a visit as part of a break .





You can just see the floodlights in the background -  Harbour
