Antalya on the Way to Becoming a Gastronomy Center
In his speech at the opening ceremony, Governor Şahin stated that Antalya is an important center of attraction in the field of gastronomy and said, “Antalya is such a beautiful city that it is possible to harvest even in February. No matter how delicately we process this magnificent city, which has a separate depth with its art, sports, and culture, it is not enough. In addition to the great happiness of living in such a city, we also carry an important responsibility within us. Antalya has become the meeting point of the gastronomy community. Experts and professionals in this field consider Antalya as a meeting point; great chefs come and discuss the future of the sector here. The FoodFest festival, which is being held for the fourth time, makes a significant contribution to Antalya in this sense. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the organization of this festival.”
