It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. It is well preserved. The entrance could be improved. It is from the ice age.

First at all I'd like to point that it is very difficult to find the place from the main road, because there aren't any signs of it, before you turn to the small road which will lead you to the Hip Notics. The place itself is nice. There are 3 lakes, pool, djacusi, restrooms, lockers (some of them need to be fixed). Parking is free, however you paying for regular board 10 euro and for the board which allows you to do obstacles another 15 euro. Don't forget the park fee which is 35 euro per person! They don't have a price list for you to check it, you gonna have to believe it what thay saying. Hold on, this is not it. You paying for Powered 9 TL even though it is 5 TL in the menu. They don't bother to change it. Park is great, but this is Turkey, guys, not the US or England. I don't understand why it costs less to do the same in Florida. Anyway, stuff is not that nice as people describing, they don't smile and helping you after you ask them couple of times. There is a nice guy, who was teaching my friend how to ride a boar, and the same guy is in charge for mild lake. His name is Sulaiman. Very nice person. All in all the time we spent there was good, however we here expecting more.
3. Koprulu Kanyon

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.

What a wonderful and breathtaking experience. Stopped here for an hour or so and just marveled at the beauty of the natural wonders. The water here is clear but cold, lovely for a brisk dip to cool you down in the height of the season. The Ancient Bridge is a marvel to see.
4. Aspendos Ruins and Theater

The best-known attraction among the ruins of Aspendos is the great theater, an amazingly well preserved vestige of Roman architecture that may be as impressive as Rome's own Colosseum.

Come to Aspendos Theatre.... incredible view of history and not expensive. Bring the kids; there is ice cream and water outside.
Get away from Antalya Beaches and feed your mind. One of the few and rare 150 B.c. Ruins you can still see. Bring a camera and wear comfortable shoes... a must see!
5. Kekova Sound

Reviewed By lthomson_12 - Kolkata (Calcutta), India
We went to Kekova Sound on three different day trips by boat from Kas. Each time we discovered new things to see and learn. The ancient past of this area is fascinating and is apparent everywhere. The water is exquisite and we loved snorkelling in the various bays to see if we could find any ancient relics. Fresh fish at Simena Village for lunch was fabulous as was the home made icecream at Kalekoy. A great place to visit for all ages. Kids would love it.
6. Antalya Muzesi
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1 reviews
The museum contains 13 display halls with exhibits from the Paleolithic Age to Ottoman times. A special children's section offers activities to stimulate an interest in antiques and museums.
Reviewed By HolidayForUs - Bath, United Kingdom
This is one of Antalya’s largest museums and has thirteen exhibition halls and an open-air area. The museum describes the history of the Antalya area through models of how it developed through the ages followed by many of the artefacts found during archaeological excavations. There is an extensive display of statues from the Roman period (many from Perge) and some ornate sarcophagi, particularly the one showing the twelve labours of Hercules from Perge (apparently ‘smuggled’ abroad years ago but now recently returned).
There are other halls dedicated to church artefacts, coins, Islam and culture. The higher floors were very warm. There is a gift shop (reasonable prices) and a café alongside and an outside area, where there are more exhibits mainly from the Roman period.
Allow at least two hours for a visit.
7. Phaselis Antique City

Reviewed By Elle H - Sheffield, United Kingdom
Came here as part of the Thomas Cook "Sea to Sky Tour". Loverly place to walk around and look at the ruins, lots to look at with 3 Beaches including a sandy beach.
Recommend taking shoes to go into the water as still a lot of stones. Also take your own food and drink if needed as very limited choice to buy at the shop.
8. Antakya Archaeological Museum

Amazing museum. It was renewed and changed. If you like mosaics probably its the best. Also Gaziantep museum should be visited to complete. The people are helpful in the museum and you can have a coffee just by the museum. With some little touches it can be much better.
9. Adana Merkez Camii

Reviewed By Emil N - Washington DC, District of Columbia
I took a quick walking tour here one morning, after a flight to Istanbul was rerouted to Adana. This is a beautiful mosque. The outer entranceway is clean and the interior is marvelously solemn. A kind cleaning lady let me in, and I was the only person there for a while. Special moment. A nice garden surrounds the mosque and the river is close by. Worth a trip if you're in town.
10. Goynuk Canyon

Reviewed By Tim_Millea - Yorkshire, England
It is walkable but for a short taxi ride, this little gem of natural beauty is well worth a visit while in Kemer. There are Maldives-style seated areas on stilts over the lake and river and simply but tasty food and drinks available (at reasonable charge).
