Explore popular activities, attractions, and places to visit in Antalya.
Explore Kaleiçi (Old Town) & Hadrian's Gate
Wander through the charming, narrow cobblestone streets of Antalya's historic core, lined with beautifully restored Ottoman-era houses, boutique hotels, and hidden courtyards. At the heart of the district is the monumental Hadrian's Gate, an impressive Roman triumphal arch built in 130 AD. The area offers unique shopping, dining, and leads down to the picturesque Old Harbour.
Visit the Ancient Theatre of Aspendos
Take a day trip to this magnificent Roman amphitheater, widely regarded as one of the best-preserved ancient theaters in the world. Built in the 2nd century AD, it is renowned for its incredible acoustics and grand façade. It continues to host the annual Aspendos International Opera and Ballet Festival, offering a magical cultural experience under the stars.
See the Düden Waterfalls (Lower & Upper)
Experience the natural beauty of the Düden Waterfalls, which consist of two main sections. The Upper Düden Waterfalls are located inland amid lush greenery, while the Lower Düden Waterfall is spectacular, plunging dramatically directly into the Mediterranean Sea from the city's cliffs. Insider Tip: The Lower Falls are best viewed by taking a boat tour from the Old Harbour.
Ride the Tünektepe Cable Car
Take the scenic Tünektepe Cable Car to the summit of Tünektepe Hill for breathtaking, panoramic views. The ride ascends over 600 meters, offering stunning perspectives of the Mediterranean coastline, the vast cityscape, and the rugged Taurus Mountains. The summit provides a cool escape from the summer heat and is ideal for photography.
Explore the Ancient City of Perge (Archaeological Site)
Step back in time at one of the most important archaeological sites in the region. Perge was once the capital of the Roman province of Pamphylia, and its ruins are remarkably well-preserved. Highlights include the massive stadium, the Hellenistic gate, and the main colonnaded street. Insider Tip: Go early in the morning, as there is little shade, and wear comfortable shoes for walking among the ruins.
Go Rafting at Köprülü Canyon National Park
For thrill-seekers and nature lovers, this national park, located about an hour from Antalya, is a must-visit. The park offers thrilling white-water rafting adventures on the Köprüçay River as it runs through a deep, dramatic canyon. The area is also excellent for hiking, zip-lining, and exploring ancient Roman bridges.
