Map — Antalya Turkey

A clean map of Antalya Turkey with named layers and consistent geometry for fast cartographic work. Layer structure separates arterials and locals, districts, hydrography, parks and landmarks. Contours and landuse layers can be toggled to match tourism or planning use cases. The file accepts custom grids, legends and callouts without redrawing base content. Typography spacing is tuned for quick reading on posters, brochures and reports. District and neighborhood labels are arranged to avoid collisions around dense cores.

Ideal for signage, event maps, campus leaflets and waterfront brochures. Saves prepress time by reducing manual fixes and keeping the visual system consistent. Legibility holds up on handheld leaflets and large lobby posters alike. Reliable as a base layer; easy to adapt when projects or sponsors change. Export presets help maintain crisp strokes on both coated and uncoated paper.
