What to expect

The Antalya Sand Sculpture Museum (SANDLAND) stands as one of the world's oldest, most esteemed and largest sculpture events. Since its inception in 2006, it has consistently expanded in terms of beach area, participating artists, and volume of sand utilized, resulting in an exhibition featuring hundreds of colossal sand sculptures. These works of art are crafted from 10 thousand tons of river sand spread over a 7 thousand square meter area on the renowned Lara Beach in Antalya. These sand masterpieces are the culmination of three weeks of hard work by professional artists from around the globe. This year's theme, "A SPACE ADVENTURE", takes you on a chronological journey through humanity's exploration of space, presented in an engaging and educational manner. You'll discover sculptures related to notable figures and milestones in space history such as Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, the Wright Brothers, Hazerfen Çelebi, Zeplin, Yuri Gagarin, Neil Armstrong, and a Mars Space Colony, among others.

You'll have the chance to gaze at the sun, moon, and planets on a large screen through powerful telescopes. Furthermore, you can also experience a human gyroscope that simulates a zero-gravity environment, similar to those used in astronaut training. This provides a distinctive experience for both young and old. At night, the exhibition area transforms into an enchanted setting as the sculptures are illuminated with LED lighting systems and accompanied by themed music.

    De sculturen waren geweldig. Het is niet zo groot dus binnen een uur ben je wel klaar. Plan iets daarna in Lara zelf of zorgt ervoor dat je vervoer hebt. Met taxi is het ook prima te doen.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Women of Antalya, Past to Present

Nearly two millennia ago, Plancia Magna blazed a trail by making an impressive impact on the city of Perge despite the usual passive role of women at that time. She was born into a wealthy, powerful family, but instead of an easy life, she used her privilege to benefit her city. Her courage, independence and character was celebrated long after her time, and inspired women through the ages to seek influential roles in society. Your National Geographic-trained guide will reveal the ancient city of Perge with a focus on the life and legacy of Plancia Magna, an inspirational figure even today. Perhaps Plancia was a source of inspiration for Hatice Adıgüzel, whose workshop you will visit next. Discover the skills and artistry involved in creating lamps and garden ornaments from gourds, and learn from Hatice herself what sets her business apart - her leadership in a male-dominated workforce, her commitment to empowering local women and her choice of sustainable materials. During a hands-on workshop, you will have the opportunity to create your own decorative gourd and learn more about Hatice's work with the local women's community. She pays her success forward by employing women to grow and decorate the gourds from their own homes for the business. They also make the snacks you'll enjoy during the workshop. Hatice's aim is to help women who are unable to work in regular employment due to childcare commitments or similar restrictions by giving them a convenient way to earn.
