Antalya is one of the cities that has recognized its strong potential in the field of medical tourism. Even with temperatures hovering around 10-15°C, the city has been one of the top destinations and the epicenter for those wanting to spend their holidays and get treated before going home for the past 10 years.
With its pristine views, pristine beaches, natural beauty, rich history and modern facilities, Antalya remains one of the undisputedly fascinating tourist capitals of Turkey, attracting millions of visitors every year.
Leisure tourism is undoubtedly Antalya's biggest attraction; however, is there another reason why people from all over the world go to Turkey's most famous Mediterranean resort? Well, yes, the answer is thanks to medical tourism! Medical tourism itself is a new and growing area, also in Antalya. On the supply side, the city has an accommodation capacity of over half a million and receives 11 million tourists a year.
Health tourism in Antalya includes a wide range of treatments, from medical tourism such as general surgery in hospitals to thermal tourism with rehabilitation and rest in thermal facilities; and elderly and disabled tourism with long-term stays engaged in social activities in geriatric treatment centers. Health tourists choose Turkey for several reasons, including price, quality, technical conditions, short waiting times and high-quality facilities.
Tourists who come for medical tourism will have many price advantages. The high cost of health expenditure in many countries forces patients to come to Antalya, Turkey. Here it is possible to access quality healthcare for half or a third of the price quoted in most European countries.
