Ecology and Biodiversity

01

Ecology

At Linda Resort Hotel, we consider protecting the natural environment and supporting sustainable tourism among our fundamental responsibilities. Ecology is the science that studies the relationships of living organisms with one another and with their environment. A healthy ecosystem depends on clean air and water, fertile soil and the protection of biodiversity.

In our operations, we take care to use natural resources efficiently, reduce our environmental impact and preserve the natural character of our region. Through environmentally friendly practices, we aim to leave a more liveable world to future generations.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity refers to the richness of plants, animals, microorganisms and the ecosystems they form. Healthy ecosystems are essential for clean water and air, fertile soil, the continuity of wildlife and the preservation of climate balance.

At Linda Resort Hotel, we respect the wildlife and biodiversity of our region and support practices that contribute to protecting local flora and fauna. In our landscaping, we choose plant species suited to local environmental conditions and take care to preserve natural habitats.

The Importance of Biodiversity

Biodiversity has great value not only for nature but also for human life and sustainable tourism. Healthy ecosystems:

  • Help protect clean air and water resources.
  • Support soil fertility.
  • Help maintain climate balance.
  • Support the sustainability of agriculture and food security.
  • Contribute to the development of nature tourism and ecotourism.

Protecting natural resources and sustaining biodiversity are therefore a shared responsibility of society as a whole.

Protecting Plant and Animal Diversity

Plants are fundamental elements of ecosystems because they produce oxygen, prevent erosion, store carbon and provide habitats for many living organisms. Animals play an indispensable role in maintaining natural balance, pollinating plants, dispersing seeds and sustaining ecological cycles.

At Linda Resort Hotel, we:

  • Attach importance to protecting our green areas.
  • Work to reduce unnecessary chemical use.
  • Avoid practices that may disturb wildlife.
  • Support raising awareness among our guests and employees about protecting nature.

Protecting Ecosystems

The sustainability of ecosystems depends on all species being able to continue their lives in balance. We therefore aim to help protect natural resources through energy and water conservation, waste reduction, recycling and environmentally responsible purchasing policies.

Protecting Endemic Species

Endemic species occur naturally only in specific geographical regions and form an important part of the natural heritage of those regions.

Linda Resort Hotel approaches the protection of Antalya’s rich biodiversity and endemic plant species with sensitivity. During our activities, we take care not to damage natural habitats and support passing the ecological values of the region on to future generations.

We believe that protecting nature is a fundamental element not only of environmental sustainability but also of social and economic sustainability. Together with our employees, guests and business partners, we aim to contribute to developing an environmentally responsible way of life.

Our shared responsibility

Our Policies

We extend our sustainable tourism approach across all our activities, from our employees and the environment to children’s rights and the local community.

Local heritage

Culture

We regard learning about the natural, historical and cultural values of Antalya and its surroundings as part of our contribution to protecting this heritage and passing it on to future generations.

Ancient Theatre of Aspendos 01
Culture

Aspendos / Aspendos Theatre

Located in the Serik district, Aspendos is home to one of the best-preserved Roman theatres to survive to the present day. Built in the 2nd century BC on a monumental scale, Aspendos Theatre has a capacity of 15,000 spectators. One of the first places many local and international visitors wish to see in Antalya, it hosts various festivals every year. Aspendos should be on your must-see list, with some of Anatolia’s longest aqueducts and important historic structures such as the agora and basilica.

Ancient City of Perge 02
Culture

Ancient City of Perge

Located within the Aksu district, the Ancient City of Perge was renowned as one of the richest and most beautiful cities of the Hellenistic period. The ancient Pamphylia region, of which it was the capital, contains many prehistoric caves and settlements, including Karain Cave, Öküzini Cave and the Beldibi rock shelters. The city’s acropolis is believed to have been founded in the Bronze Age.

Ancient City of Sillyon 03
Culture

Ancient City of Sillyon

Sillyon is among the historic treasures around Belek, where natural and historical beauty is carefully protected. Located between Perge and Aspendos, it is 15 kilometres from Serik. One of antiquity’s wealthiest cities, Sillyon is believed to have been founded after the Trojan War like other Pamphylian cities. It minted its own coins in the 3rd century BC and, built atop steep cliffs, is one of the finest examples of Hellenistic defence. Visitors should be prepared for a challenging climb, but the view is well worth the effort.

Düden Waterfall 04
Culture

Düden Waterfall

One of Antalya’s natural wonders, Düden Waterfall is fed by the Kepez Hydroelectric Power Plant. Divided into the Lower and Upper Düden branches, the waterfalls captivate visitors with water cascading from a height of 40 metres.

Sorgun Pine Forest 05
Culture

Sorgun Forest

Covering approximately 312 hectares, Sorgun Pine Forest lies near Titreyengöl, one of Türkiye’s major tourism destinations where the Manavgat River meets the Mediterranean. Titreyengöl, whose name is said to come from the gentle ripples caused by birds’ wings in legend, is surrounded by pine trees and walking trails where you can breathe the fragrant clean air. You can walk through the peaceful forest towards the Manavgat River and reach the area where it meets the sea along a route of about four kilometres. On 14 June 2007, Sorgun Forest was designated a First-Degree Natural Protected Area by the Antalya Regional Board for the Conservation of Natural Assets of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

Temple of Apollo and Temple of Athena 06
Culture

Temple of Apollo and Temple of Athena

In Side, the natural harbour of ancient Pamphylia, the Temples of Apollo and Athena hold a very special place among the historic remains. These two structures were among the region’s most important temples when they were built and are well worth seeing.
