Antalya on its 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 handle this magnificent city, which has a unique 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 bear an important responsibility. Antalya has become the meeting point of the gastronomy community. Experts and professionals in this field accept Antalya as a rendezvous point; great chefs come and discuss the future of the sector here. The FoodFest festival, which is being held for the fourth time, also makes an important contribution to Antalya in this sense. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the organization of this festival.”
