What to expect
Hadrian's Gate
Step through this triumphal arch built for Roman Emperor Hadrian in 130 AD, where intricate marble columns and preserved towers mark the ancient city entrance. Visitors walk beneath its three imposing arches, literally following in the footsteps of emperors and travelers from centuries past.
This 19th-century stone tower is one of the last remaining parts of the old city walls and stands proudly at the gateway to Kaleiçi. Travelers will pause here to take in panoramic views and learn how this landmark once kept the rhythm of Ottoman Antalya.
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Parkı
This commanding monument honors Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, standing tall in the heart of the city. You'll reflect on the dramatic changes he brought to the nation while surrounded by lively public squares and everyday city bustle.
Marvel at the fluted minaret that defines Antalya’s skyline, part of a 13th-century Seljuk mosque complex. Guests experience centuries of religious history and architectural mastery in the peaceful courtyard setting.
Wander through cobbled lanes lined with colorful shops offering spices, textiles, and handmade treasures. This is where you'll engage all your senses—haggling, sampling, and soaking in the rhythm of local life.
Perched right at the harbor, this charming 19th-century mosque is uniquely built over a natural spring. Visitors will appreciate its peaceful vibe and unusual architecture as they pause beside the water's edge.
Mermerli Beach
This small, scenic beach is tucked beside the Roman harbor, offering crystal-clear waters and dramatic cliffside views. Visitors can dip their toes in or just relax seaside while hearing about how locals escape the summer heat.
This cylindrical Roman tower overlooks the cliffs of Karaalioğlu Park and once served as a lighthouse or fortress. You'll enjoy sweeping views of the Mediterranean while uncovering the legends and layers of purpose behind this ancient stone sentinel.
A lush cliffside park beloved by locals, it's also home to the whimsical “cat house” sanctuary. You’ll stroll shaded paths, spot friendly felines, and enjoy a quirky moment of local culture away from the tourist crowds.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
