Things to do in Antalya

1. Get Lost in the Historic Streets of Kaleici

Kaleici (Antalya Oldtown) takes you on a time journey with its Ottoman-era houses, narrow streets, and boutique cafes. Hadrian’s Gate (The Three Gates), the historical entrance to the city, is an essential stop for photography enthusiasts.

2. Explore Duden and Kursunlu Waterfalls

Antalya's waterfalls should be your first stop if you want to escape the city noise. Lower Düden Waterfall, which spills directly into the sea from the cliffs, offers a mesmerizing view. Also, enjoying a cup of coffee against the magnificent Taurus Mountains view will be an unforgettable pleasure.

3. Enjoy the Sun on World-Famous Beaches

Antalya means the sea! The vast pebbly Konyaalti Beach and the famous fine-sand Lara Beach are the two most popular spots to enjoy the Mediterranean.

4. Experience the Acoustics of Aspendos Ancient Theater

As one of the world's best-preserved Roman theaters, Aspendos still holds a magical atmosphere. If your visit coincides with the summer months, you can witness the unique acoustics by attending the opera and ballet festivals.

5. Touch History at the Antalya Museum

Housing one of Turkey's richest collections, the Antalya Museum is globally significant for its statues unearthed from ancient cities like Perge and Termessos. Do not leave without seeing the "Weary Herakles" statue.

6. Ascend Mount Tahtali by Cable Car (Olympos Teleferik)

Operating with the "Sea to Sky" slogan, the cable car carries you to an altitude of 2365 meters in just a few minutes. The panoramic Mediterranean view from the summit will be one of the most memorable moments of your holiday.
