The Land of Legends in Antalya, Turkey is a new concept resort combining a luxury themed hotel suitable for families with young children, as well as a shopping arcade and water park to boot. It is the largest of it's kind in Europe and looks to be a compelling attraction to visit for all travellers to Turkey.
Although Turkey is known for it's Greco-Roman cultural attractions, the Land of Legends offers something completely different and more importantly, something the children would likely appreciate whilst parents can takee a break from intellectual stimulation for a couple of days. I remember as a child, I thought cultural travel was a very painful experience, whether it was museums, art galleries or visiting historical sites, I couldn't hold my attention to them, even when I knew how important they were. All I wanted to do was wade in a sunny place with pools of water everywhere, and fun activities to indulge in. Growing older, that desire hasn't really changed, but the difference now is I appreciate the cultural side just as much.
So, with that said, today we'll be having a look at the water park at Land of Legends and what activities and attractions you can expect find in this all-in-one resort.
This is the map of the entire resort. As big as the hotel is, it is but a small part of the resort, the larger part belonging to the water park. This is the main attraction of the Land of Legends. In-fact, more than half of the visitors to the water park do not stay at the resort, and are either coming from the Rixos Downtown Antalya, or other hotels in the catchment area.
The water park cost around $1 Billion dollars to construct and occupies approximately 280,000 square meters. The wide array of attractions mean that there is something of interest to everyone, whether you're a 5, 13, 30 or 50!
