Expo 2016 Antalya - Official

EXPO 2016 Antalya will be held between April - October 2016 being Turkey’s first EXPO.

A Green Life for Future Generations

EXPO 2016 Antalya chose its title to highlight two precious and meaningful assets necessary for a green future: Flowers and Children. EXPO 2016 Antalya aims at being the start of a new way of thinking, the intoxicating scent of flowers and the laughter of children throughout the city bringing with it hopes for a greener world.
Flowers, thanks to their colors and fragrance, play the main role in the reproduction of plants and pollination, which result in seed formation.

In EXPO 2016 Antalya, flowers symbolize the green life that we wish to guarantee for future generations a green future depends on our capacity to sustain biodiversity and maintain a balance between natural and cultivated biodiversity.
EXPO 2016 Antalya will focus on the extremely important relation between humankind and plant diversity, offering a perspective on the evolution of cultivated plants and their relation to biodiversity.
