Things to Do  

Kaleici - Old Town

Kaleici - Old Town, Antalya

 24 Reviews  Having had a great hamam experience in Istanbul, I thought I'd treat myself to another on my last day in Turkey. Sefa Hamam was located close to my hotel, so I dropped by late one afternoon. I didn't really understand how things worked at Sefa. They didn't seem busy and their female employee seemed... 

Düden and other Waterfalls

Düden and other Waterfalls, Antalya

 37 Reviews  We have planned to see that waterfall just before the "normal" shopping in Antalya. Every year we "waste" few hrs for shopping in the big modern Shopping Centers around Antalya. We haven't expected too much from that waterfall, especially after we have been few times lost in "nowhere" following the... 

Aspendos

Aspendos, Antalya

 29 Reviews  Turning off the Antalya-Alanya road at kilometer 30 in the direction of the village of Belkis we come to the best-preserved ancient theater in Turkey. Aspendos was also used as a caravansarai in later years. Caravansarai's are found on the silk route every 27km. 

Hadrian's Gate

Hadrian's Gate, Antalya

 24 Reviews  Hadrian's Gate is a triple triumphal arch built in the second century. It is very well-preserved because originally the front of the gate was encased inside Antalya's city walls. Today you can pass under the gates by walking across a glass platform; under your feet you'll see a selection of...

Perge

Perge, Antalya

 18 Reviews  Greek and Roman ruins at Perge, an ancient site close to Antalya, situated on a wide plain between two hills 4 kms west of the Aksu river. One of the better preserved archaelogical sites in Turkey. Really worth a visit! 

Ataturk Monument and Square

Ataturk Monument and Square, Antalya

 7 Reviews  On the Republic Square you will find the statue of Ataturk. Ataturk was the father of the nation and their first president. He did a lot to bring about reform and was a man of great vision. Situated in the middle of the square this monument is a good meeting place. 

Saat Kulesi - The Clock Tower

Saat Kulesi - The Clock Tower, Antalya

 10 Reviews  As you enter the old city, you will notice the clock tower. The clock tower formed part of the ancient walls that protected the ancient city of Antalya. The stone walls has ancient inscriptions. They were well protected until the end of the 19th century

Kemer

Kemer, Antalya

 5 Reviews  Although most of these kind of excursions are typically family type of day-outs, I must admit that water here can be pretty rough. We really enjoyed rafting in this 9°C water (ice cold in turkish norms) in a forest - like area. 

Yivli Minaret

Yivli Minaret, Antalya

 7 Reviews  The Yivli Minaret has become the symbol of Antalya. You will find it just below the Republic Square and it is quite difficult actually to miss it. Both the minaret and mosque was built by the Seljuk’s in the 13th century. The minaret stands 38 metres high.
