Antalya Archaeological Museum is considered to be one of the best in Turkey and it is easy to see that. It is large with a variety of artefacts from different periods and different sites around Antalya. Here you find everything: fossils, jewellery from the Bronze Age, tools and pottery, statues of classical gods, mosaics etc. And everything is displayed in a nice way with good information. After the archaeology section there are some rooms displaying ethnographic artefacts from the Ottoman era, for example dresses, music instrument, weapons and carpets. Take your time! There are so many things worth seeing! Entrance fee is 15 000 000 TL. Entrance for students is 3 000 000 TL. I got a slight chock hearing the price and the woman selling the ticket saw that and gave the student price, which I am very happy for.

The beach, Konyaalti Plaji, is to the west. It is a pebbled beach about 3 km long. Several hotels are built along the beach, but if you are staying in Kaleici you can take the tram to the end station Müze and then walk a few hundred metres down to the beach. Leave a Comment
