Walking
From the heart of Kaleici, make your way to the historic Hadrian's Gate (Hadrian Kapısı). Once you reach the gate, walk through it and continue straight. You will find yourself on the main street of Kaleici, where you can enjoy the charming atmosphere lined with shops and cafes. Keep walking for about 10 minutes, and you will reach Hıdırlık Sk. Turn right onto Hıdırlık Sk, and after a short walk (approximately 5 minutes), you will see Hidirlik Tower on your left. The tower is easily recognizable by its cylindrical shape and historic architecture.
-
Public Transport
If you prefer to take public transport, you can catch a tram from the nearest tram station in Kaleici, called 'Müze' station. Board the tram towards 'Fatih.' After 2 stops, get off at 'Konyaaltı' station. From there, you can either walk back towards the Kaleici area along the scenic coastline (approximately 20 minutes) or enjoy a short taxi ride back to the Hidirlik Tower. Note that taxi fares in Antalya are relatively reasonable and should range between 20-30 Turkish Lira.
-
Bicycle
For those who are adventurous, consider renting a bicycle from one of the local bike rental shops in Kaleici. From your rental location, head towards the coast and follow the bike path along the Mediterranean Sea. This scenic route will lead you back towards the Hidirlik Tower area. The ride should take about 15-20 minutes. Once you reach the vicinity of Hıdırlık Sk, park your bike and walk the remaining distance to the tower.
