Sandland (Antalya)

Visitors are allowed to watch during the creation of sand sculptures. More than ten sand sculptors from around eight to ten countries all over the world create sand sculptures in nearly three weeks. The sculptures are made durable for a time period of twelve months. The sculptures are illuminated in the darknes so that access is allowed also in the night.
