With its history, sea, cultural assets and high quality tourism facilities, Antalya is known as the capital of Tutkish tourism. With Belek, Kemer, Side-Manavgat, Alanya, Lara-Kunda, and Kaş tourism centers, Antalya hosts more than 10 million foreign quests every year. Along with a cultural heritage deeply rooted in history,
Antalya’s coves and highlands of unique beauty, pristine beaches, comfortable hotels and marinas, colourful entertainment venues, and art-filled festivals all make it a tourist destination that offers endless possibilities to its guests.
These include the pleasure of sunbathing from sunrise to sunset; the natural thrill of outdoor sports in the grip of mother nature; the excitement of discovering national parks with their rich flora and fauna, ancient cities, museums and Kaleiçi; the mystery of the mountains and the peaceful Mediterranean coves drawing you away; the romance of watching an opera outdoors under the stars at night; sampling the unique delicacies of Turkish cuisine and enjoying the party scene. Meeting the hospitable people of Antalya is just another part of the pleasant holiday experience.

Scene around Kaleici. The old city center in Antalya
Antalya,
There are lots of restaurants and clubs. %100 jolly Vacation… Unfortunately old castle is changed a little due to new houses, cafe and restaurants. Still the place have a different atmosphere and texture. I highly recommend
take a taxi and go it s very nice so you ll have more time to go arround
During morning or during sunset, you can go the extra mile having a long walk from side to side of the Konyallti district and see locals and turists enjoying of the beach and the nice coffees near the beach. You can even reach the amazing park with the pyramid where Konyalalti meets Antalya.
If you go to antalya this tower is in the middle of old city from there you can walk down near the sea , and the other side you can find shopping center and bazar
Just another Tower with a clock in it. Compared to Hadrian's gate which is almost 2000 years old and still in use.
it is a great place to walk around, get look and find interesting places to buy like souvenirs and when you manage to find the marina downstair, you can head out on a boat trip. BTW you can get a boat trip for 10 lira, never accept it for anymore than that.
Pretty paved area to walk roundY and you can climb the sea wall. You will get pestered to take a boat trip
This is a lovely way to spend an afternoon or evening. Lots of shops, a delightful old market and many small restaurants peppering the hills above the very beautiful harbor. This is a casual place and meant to be savored.
This place very good before 10 years ago. But nowadays so bad and corrupted. You can not walking relax and loosing the touristic air. Antalya municipality not working good. They could be change litle fantastic and old town
Take a look at Marina from some of several nice restaurants above ,then step down and explore the atmosphere of nice ,,old pirate´s '' boats come and go… You can sit there for long minutes with your drink or ice cream, planning either your next boat trip or just continue exporing old city of Antalya.
