A bridge between the world and Antalya
The Antalya Global Foundation is a global circle of people who love Antalya, Türkiye. Some visited once and carried the city home with them. Some chose it as their home. Some return every year, and many dream of coming one day.
AGF is a bridge in two directions. We present Antalya to the world through stories, books, pictures and gatherings, and we bring the world to Antalya: visitors, thinkers, artists, institutions and ideas that enrich the city and its people.
Our members are ambassadors of the city. Each of them carries Antalya into conversations, friendships and work around the world, and each has a place in the foundation.
To the world
Stories, books, pictures and gatherings that carry Antalya into homes, schools and conversations far from the Mediterranean.
To Antalya
Visitors, thinkers, artists and partners who come closer to the city, take part in its life and bring their own ideas with them.
