Places to Visit on Antalya City Tour
Kaleiçi (Old Town)
Kaleiçi, Antalya's Old Town, is a historic gem blending Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman influences. Its cobblestone streets are lined with restored Ottoman houses, boutique shops, and cafes, while landmarks like Hadrian’s Gate, Yivli Minaret Mosque, and the Roman Harbor showcase its rich past. Visitors can explore museums, relax at Mermerli Beach, or enjoy vibrant nightlife in this charming district. Easily accessible and full of cultural treasures, Kaleiçi offers a unique mix of history, architecture, and modern charm.
Hadrian's Gate
Hadrian's Gate, built in 130 AD to honor Emperor Hadrian's visit to Antalya (then Attaleia), is a stunning Roman triumphal arch and one of the city's most iconic landmarks. Known locally as "The Three Gates," it features three marble arches adorned with intricate floral and rosette carvings, flanked by two towers from different eras—one Roman and the other Seljuk. The gate was part of the ancient city walls and remained hidden for centuries until rediscovered in the 1950s. Visitors can admire its well-preserved Roman-era pavement, visible through glass flooring, and explore its rich history while enjoying its picturesque surroundings in the heart of Antalya.
Clock Tower
Antalya's Clock Tower, built in 1901 to commemorate the 25th year of Sultan Abdulhamid II's reign, is a prominent landmark located on the Byzantine-era bastions near Kaleiçi. Constructed with rough stone and featuring a square design, it has clock faces on all sides and is adorned with arches and crenellations in an Arabic style. The tower's original dome, lost in the 1930s, was recently restored, along with its historical bell and mechanism. Standing 20.3 meters tall, it serves as a symbol of Antalya's rich history and offers a picturesque spot for visitors near the bustling bazaars and historic streets of the city center.
Antalya Museum
The Antalya Museum, one of Turkey's largest and most prestigious museums, showcases a vast collection of artifacts spanning from the Paleolithic era to the Ottoman period. Located near Kaleiçi, it features 13 exhibition halls and an open-air gallery, with highlights including Roman statues from Perge, intricate sarcophagi, and Byzantine mosaics. The museum also houses a children's section, ethnographic displays, and a hall dedicated to coins and small artifacts. Recognized internationally, it won the European Council Special Prize in 1988. A must-visit for history enthusiasts, it offers a comprehensive journey through the region's rich archaeological and cultural heritage.
Düden Waterfalls
Düden Waterfalls, a natural gem in Antalya, is divided into two sections: Upper and Lower Düden. The Upper Düden Waterfall, located 12 km from the city center, offers a serene escape with walking trails, picnic areas, and a cooler climate, making it perfect for summer visits. The Lower Düden Waterfall, also known as Karpuzkaldıran, is a breathtaking sight where the Düden River plunges 40 meters into the Mediterranean Sea. Visitors can enjoy the view from Düden Park or take a boat tour for a unique perspective. Both spots are ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and those seeking relaxation amidst stunning scenery.
Boat Tour along the Coastline
A boat tour along Antalya's coastline offers a serene way to explore the city's stunning cliffs, turquoise waters, and iconic landmarks like the Lower Düden Waterfall. Many tours depart from Kaleiçi Marina, providing options for short sightseeing cruises or full-day adventures with swimming stops at picturesque bays. Some tours include lunch and entertainment, making it a relaxing and enjoyable experience for families, couples, or solo travelers. Whether you choose a pirate-themed boat or a tranquil sunset cruise, these tours are a fantastic way to appreciate Antalya's natural beauty from the water.
