Kaleici

The old city of Antalya contains many of the city's historic sites. Renovations to the marina and waterfront have added several hotels, restaurants and shops, making this a popular tourist destination.

Reviewed By Moumita - New Delhi, India

One of my most memorable places that I have visited and stayed at is Kaleici. Its a beautiful old town with old cobbled streets, a lovely old harbour with beaches and lovely views, amazing places to shop for local handicrafts and souvenirs as well as carpets and leather goods, and a foodie heaven with awesome street food as well as fine dine places. The area should be explored on foot, with myriad lanes and by-lanes taking you to different historical sites that add charm to the whole experience. One of the oldest Turkish bath houses is also to be found here, which I chanced upon during just walking around and soaking in the atmosphere. on weekends, the whole street near the old harbour turns into a pub, with restaurants and pubs playing live music and serving food outside on the street.. Its a not to be missed place for travellers who love to explore!

Lower Duden Waterfalls

The Duden Waterfalls are actually two separate natural attractions within the City of Antalya. Upper & Lower Waterfalls.. Lower Duden Waterfall is a spectacular cascade that occurs as the Duden River spills off the Antalya City cliffs into the sea. You can feel the droplets of amazing Duden Waterfalls ending at the mediterranean, swim nearby and enjoy the mesmerizing sightseeings of the city, mountains and forests by the Antalya Shores. Shoot some attractive photos to share with friends and family on a daily private boat trip. The Upper Duden Waterfalls are a series of small cascades in a tranquil municipal park. When visiting the upper falls within the park, don't miss climbing down a spiral staircase that leads into a cave behind the waterfalls. This experience affords fabulous views through a curtain of falling water.

It's a really stunning place, either if you decide to visit it from the cliff (there's a nice spot where you can take great pictures) or by boat or even renting a kayak (if you're hotel is nearby - like it was mine, Lara Hotel) its definitely a unique spot around Antalya! :)

Red Tower

Reviewed By Jane2003rugby - Kingston-upon-Hull, United Kingdom

The Red Tower is located at the end of the harbour, just up from the jetty. The opening hours where 9.00 am - 19.00 pm in the summer. Entrance fee was 7 TL or 10 TL with the Shipyard or 14 TL with Shipyard & Damlatas cave. Four floors to visit, plus the turret with fantastic views at the top. As this is a medieval tower, there are lots of steep ,narrow, steps to climb, so not suitable for people with disabilities, or small children. Displays, models, old photos, on each floor. A must do, is on the second floor, walk out onto the old walls, the only way you can access it, again great views, but a lot of people miss it.

Xanthos Antik Kenti

Xanthos was the capital city of the Lycian Federation and its greatest city for most of Lycian history.

Reviewed By RedHeadPeter - London, United Kingdom

There are numerous historic sites along the mediterranean coast of Turkey that you might choose to visit - Xanthos can be combined with a trip to Letoon. Xanthos has a well preserved theatre, some fascinating Lycian tombs and the remains of a Roman street. Well worth a visit.

Koprulu Kanyon Milli Parki

East of Anatlaya you'll find the clear and beautiful river Köprü. Shortly after Beskonak is the starting point of the canyon and a white water rafting tour. Two Roman bridges mark the beginning. The canyon is 14k meters long.

Reviewed By AnnBlacksea - Samsun, Turkey

This national park can be visited at any time of year. In the summer or Spring you can go canoeing and whitewater rafting. If you do not want to go on a tour then just drive to the park and you can easily find other independent people looking to split the cost and go rafting. The price will include all the equipment,bringing you back to the start and lunch. I can highly recommend doing this! If you are not so active there are amazing views, picnic spots and lovely walks a long the river. There are two Roman bridges which should not be missed. The scenery is particularly spectacular in autumn with all the different colors of the leaves.
