EMA Antalya
Antalya is a city where the sea, sun, history and nature commune in harmony — home to our flagship course center in Kepez, surrounded by ancient cities, beaches and forests.
Courses at this center are open to participants travelling from a country other than Türkiye — a core requirement of Erasmus+ mobility.
Let's take a small tour of Antalya.
Antalya is one of the most visited cities in the world — and it's easy to see why. With a 640-kilometre Mediterranean coastline and the Toros Mountains framing the city, it offers everything from historic Kaleiçi and the ancient port of Attaleia to world-class beaches like Konyaaltı and Lara.
Beyond the course center, participants can explore the ancient theatre at Aspendos, the waterfalls of Manavgat, and the Lycian coastline — making Antalya as much a cultural experience as a place to train.
Antalya is a city where the sea, sun, history and nature commune in harmony. Ancient cities, the sea, sun, beach, forest — all are parts of this integrity.

Let’s take a small tour of Antalya
Antalya is one of the most visited cities in the world, and of course there are dozens of reasons for this. Those who love the sea, sand and sun, and those who want to get lost in nature, can find dozens of options in Antalya — with its 640-kilometre coastline stretching along the Mediterranean and the Toros Mountains running parallel to the coast.
In the far west, on the Teke Peninsula, lies the ancient city of Patara, one of the most important cities of the Lycian Civilization. As you move east you find nature in the bays of Demre and traces of ancient civilizations at every corner. Kaş is one of the few diving centres in the world; Kemer is home to luxury resorts and the magnificent Tahtalı Mountain. Kaleiçi, the centre of Antalya, brings together the ancient city of Attaleia — one of the most important medieval ports in the Eastern Mediterranean — the traces of the Seljuks and natural-wonder cliffs.
The ancient city of Perge was an important stop on St. Paul’s journeys and a major Pamphylian port. Belek is one of the world’s leading golf centres; a little to the north stands the Aspendos theatre, one of the best-preserved ancient theatres in the world. There is also the Manavgat Waterfall, the Temple of Apollo and the seaside ancient city of Side — a cultural richness a single day is not enough to explore. With its pine forests and waterfalls, Alanya lies in the far east with its historic castle reaching into the sea.
Come and discover Antalya, the historical city of the Mediterranean surrounded by the Toros Mountains — by seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling and listening!
