The universality of Karate and the sporting spirit of our

competitions will be once again showcased in a big event of our

sport as the city of Antalya in Turkey is hosting the 27th

Mediterranean Cadet, Junior and U21 Championships.

Not only Karate fans in the Mediterranean countries will have the opportunity to demonstrate the impact of the sport among their young competitors; we will also state the progress of our discipline in a tournament that is set to continue raising the profile of our ancient modality. The Mediterranean Karate Federation Union with its president Bechir Cherif at the helms of the organisation has always played an essential role in the promotion of our sport in the region around the Mediterranean Sea. Moreover, the event is hosted in Turkey, a country which under the leadership of the president of the Turkish Karate Federation Esat Delihasan has always welcomed magnificent Karate events. I am sure that the young karatekas participating in the tournament will find the best conditions to show all their abilities. With their enthusiasm, and with the great level of organisation of the competition, I am convinced that the 27th Mediterranean Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships will be a great success.

Antalya, city on the Mediterranean coast of south-western Turkey, is the Turkish capital of international tourism.

Situated by the Gulf of Antalya, the city of Antalya can be traced back in history as early as the 1st century BC when, as the legend has it, upon discovering this land, king Attalos II told his men that “this must be Heaven”. Today, tourists who come here from all the corners of the world say that only after seeing a sunset at Antalya can one say they have seen everything a man is allowed to see in a lifetime.

The city of Antalya seems to have taken in all of Turkey’s cultural and historic past so well preserved and sealed by the traditional archaeology of the mosques, churches, madrasahs and hamams which stood the ruthless test of time.

The historical part of the city, Kaleiçi, is also the tourist centre of Antalya: clubs, restaurants and bars are the edifices that the modern tourist world has raised next to the Yivli

Minare, a symbol of the restored historical city centre and to the Kesik Minare, a former Byzantine Pangalia church, later converted into a mosque.

Despite Antalya’s growing popularity among tourists, the main transportation here is by air, although sea and land routes have only recently been taken into consideration. However, of late, the International Antalya Airport has opened a new terminal to face the hustle and bustle of the ever increasing numbers of international tourists.
