If you are planning a summer holiday to this beautiful province in Turkey, you might want to consider an early booking of your flights to Antalya in order to attend the annual Honey festival which usually takes place on the 15th of August in Gundogmus.

However, as simple as it may sound, this traditional festival is an event which brings many people, particularly the health-conscious and business-oriented, to Antalya every year. Antalya Honey festival provides an opportunity for people to gather together to taste, buy and learn about the art of honey production and its business. You will also be fascinated by the amount of products that could be derived from it. This festival will not only appeal to your sweet tooth but will also satisfy your intellectual appetite.

During this festival, a lot of producers come together to display different kinds of natural honey and assortments made from this sweet gift of nature. It is a good opportunity to mingle with the warm and friendly locals while you sample some delicious honey-baked bread and cakes, helvas (a popular sweet in Turkey), syrup, candy and many of some colourful Turkish delights. Other products you could find at the festival include honey-scented candles and honey-based soaps which can be perfect souvenirs to take back home.
