Altınbeşik Cave National Park

National reserve
Nature & Parks
Caverns & Caves
Very impressive cave, although low water around October so cant go super deep. Still worth it! The drive from side to there is crazy, the views already are a highlight! Get a rental car and stop anywhere you like. 3 Euro entry per car into national park, 5 Euro per person for the boat tour. They round it up but its possible to pay with Euro!
Kaiwen F — Google review
I had the pleasure of visiting Altınbeşik Cave, and it was a truly unforgettable experience. We had to wait in line for about 20 minutes before boarding the boat, as it was a national religious holiday in Turkey – Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice), celebrated in 2025 from June 7 to 10 – so the place was quite crowded. On other days, the line is probably shorter. The walk toward the cave was already breathtaking – surrounded by rock formations, high cliffs with scattered trees growing on steep slopes. Near the cave entrance, there's a beautiful bay or lagoon with crystal-clear water reflecting the surrounding mountains. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom, and along the cliffs, we noticed some mud nests, probably made by swallows or house martins, although some were partially damaged. Once we boarded the boat (about 10 people per ride), we entered a truly magical underground world. Some rock formations looked like stalactites, and in one section, a natural stone bridge crosses the cave above the water. At the end of the route, we saw white mineral deposits flowing down the rock face – very similar to a miniature Pamukkale. These are likely travertine formations, created by calcium-rich water depositing over time. At the cave entrance, there's a small café and souvenir shop, and before the boat ride, we were given helmets and life jackets for safety. Altınbeşik Cave is a spectacular and unique place – I absolutely recommend visiting it if you're in the region!
Deividas Z — Google review
Fantastic experience. Definitely worth to visit. For those who confused negative reviews: before enter to park you pay 135 tl for natural park contribution. For this price they give safety helmets for all ppl in your car + organized transfer from hill parking to the cave (every 10-15 min). For boat excursion we paid 250 tl per person (only 5€). And I think it's fair price. In Europe you will pay twice more. In the last village before park entrance you can find cafe with parking and toilet with friendly and kind staff. We bought local strawberries and fig's there to support local farmers and because of good natural taste. ❤️
Serg S — Google review
Look, not really worth it… it is a huge cave complex however you only get to see the first 100m on the boat ‘tour’. You can still see the entry when you turn around. 135lira for car entry and then 150 lira per person for the boat tour. You can’t see the cave without the boat tour as there is no walking entry into the cave. A shame as the cave complex looks epic. The views of the surrounding area are stunning. It would be nice if there were some walk trails.
Sasha B — Google review
We had an amazing visit to Altınbeşik Cave in Antalya! The cave itself is breathtaking with its stunning formations and underground lake. The boat ride through the cave was a unique experience, offering a peaceful and beautiful perspective of the area. The cave is well-maintained, and the surroundings are picturesque, making it a great spot for nature lovers. Highly recommend visiting if you're in Antalya — it’s a hidden gem that’s definitely worth the trip!
Anna V — Google review
Well worth a challenging drive, the main attraction is the cave its entered on a pontoon boat. It's beautifully lit, the cave is huge as you go deeper in the ceiling appeared 70, 80 meters high. There is a what looks like a natural arch which is really amazing that nature created that. The location of the cave and outside is amazing as well.
Mario S — Google review
Drove an hour to see the cave and take the boat tour. Very disappointing 30 minutes. The history and geology of the cave is impressive but that's where it stops. 1. The boat ride is a 10 minute 100m long punt into and straight out of the cave the same way and costs 250 lira each + 125 Lira car entry fee. Cave is nice, but generally disappointing 2. There's not card facilities so you need cash. 3. There's minimal information on the history of the cave. 4. Whole thing felt like a tourist trap, would be better if they opened up more of the cave or had walks around. Would not go back as it's fairly out of the way. Really don't get the high review score
James — Google review
It is a new discovered cave. You can trip by boat in it. My first visiting a cave like this. It has a water base. A little part of is open for visiting. It is forbidden swimming or walking inside.

Anitsal Cesme (Nymphaeum)

Mentioned on

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Anitsal Cesme, also known as Nymphaeum, is a remarkable ancient Roman fountain located in the ancient city of Side. Dating back to the 2nd century BCE, this grand structure features columns and marble remains that once adorned its three-story facade. The Nymphaeum was dedicated to the gods of nature and spring and was considered a symbol of eminence in its time.
Truly is a wonder of the world and we must protect it ! It’s like an Indiana Jones movie the ruins are like on one path and easy to follow ! I would see the ruins at 6am when no one is around . At night time is full of hundreds of tourists. Day time if you can bear the heat ha ha ! Enjoy the pictures & videos !

Archaeological museum
Museums
Specialty Museums
Nestled within the ancient city of Side in Turkey, Side Museum is a small yet captivating attraction housed in a Roman Bathhouse. The museum showcases relics and art from nearby excavations, offering visitors a unique opportunity to step into the rich history and vibrant culture of the region. Among the remains of the Roman and Byzantine periods that can be explored are walls, gates, basilicas, agoras, fountains, temples of Apollo and Athena, among others.
The layout is impressive: colonnaded streets, a well-preserved agora, and fragments of once-majestic buildings scattered throughout. It’s worth paying the €10pp to view the museum and the archeological sites!
Shane C — Google review
This museum is NOT wheelchair friendly, only if you have very big all terain wheels. Otherwise this can be a very painful experience. Do not try this if you suffer from pain. The staff does try to help you but this is even a challenge as an ambulatory wheelchair user with back pain and strong pain killers.. The toilet was looking very nasty. There are seats if you need a rest in between, normal toilets are okay.
Carmina G — Google review
This is a small and partly open-air museum in the Side ruins, included in the ticket with the theatre and forum. Ticket is free for children and €10 for adults. It’s well worth €10 if the theatre is open. The theatre is currently closed (2025) so you get less for your money buy in my opinion, it’s still worth buying for the museum and forum. The museum is a lovely, ambient place with very nice exhibits from Side. It has a nice gift shop (where you can and should haggle, despite being listed price). The museum will take you about an hour at most to get through.
Iqbal M — Google review
Do not put off going here because it's called a 'museum', and, stereotypically, museums are indoor places with artifacts in glass cases. Mostly, this is a wonderful kind of sculpture garden, overlooking the sea, with plenty of benches and seating areas to sit and relax in the sun (or shade) while you admire the precious carvings and artifacts taken from the various local archaeological sites, to be preserved and protected. Inside the old Roman bath building, there is a collection of smaller items: coins, metal and clay artifacts, (in glass cabinets!) plus statues and a very impressive section of a marble facade. Information about artifacts was given in Turkish and English language - I didn't notice if there were other languages. There was also fascinating panelling on the wall between the cafe and the toilets about the old Side language, including the Side alphabet. There is a lovely little shop/cafe for refreshments, with a terrace overlooking the promenade and the sea. Didem, who works there, was very knowledgeable and helpful, and helped me identify various characters depicted in statues, carvings and coins. A brilliant little exhibition!

The Men Temple

Ancient Ruins
The Men Temple, situated adjacent to the Apollon Temple in the same plaza, boasts breathtaking vistas of the Mediterranean sea and mesmerizing sunsets. As darkness falls, the area transforms into a mystical ambiance illuminated by dazzling spotlights that create captivating luminous and shadowy patterns. These enchanting ruins exude a rich historical legacy and occasionally offer live archaeological excavations for fortunate visitors. With its allure and deep-rooted history, The Men Temple is an exquisite destination worth exploring.
Those ruins are just beside the ruins of Apollon Temple in the same esplanade. The views to the Mediterrean ocean are stunning and the sunsets are also spectacular. At night, the area has a magical atmosphere, they are illuminated with spotlights showing special bright and shadow effects. An absolute charming scenery!

Apollon Temple

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Apollon Temple is a picturesque waterfront location featuring ancient temple ruins with iconic columns and stone structures. The Roman architecture is stunning, making it a must-visit destination for fans of ancient architecture in the region or elsewhere. The town of Side offers visitors the chance to explore its lovely shops, restaurants, and harbor. This pedestrian-friendly town also features a large free car park 10 minutes away on foot. The Roman ruins are worth visiting both during the day and at night when they're illuminated.
The towering columns of the temple remain impressively intact, standing guard over the Mediterranean Sea. The temple is just a few minutes’ walk from Side’s historic center or marina. After the temple, stroll along the harbor or through Side’s charming old town to round out your visit. The Temple of Apollo in Side is much more than just a historical site—it’s an atmospheric experience. Whether you're a history buff, a photographer, or simply someone seeking a moment of peace by the sea, this temple delivers on all fronts. I highly recommend making time in your Side itinerary for a visit.
Bharat D — Google review
A beautiful place! The atmosphere of ancient civilization is literally everywhere (!) around you. The route to the Temple of Apollo through the old town of Side is an incredible experience in itself - you literally walk above the ancient city, viewing its ruins through the glass floor beneath your feet. However, I recommend going a bit earlier, perhaps around 5 p.m., because after sunset, the number of tourists is overwhelming, and taking a photo in front of the temple (without hundreds of tourists in the background) is nearly impossible.
Wojciech F — Google review
Amazing historical remains and well preserved. Peaceful on the coastline and easy walking distance from Side hotels or dolmus station. I used Beam scooters and got here easily and zipped around to see it all - cheap and easy. Nice walkways and signage with history. Feels magical and mystical. Nice walkable and enjoyable ruins with shops and bars dotted around nearby.

A Must-Visit Gem on the Turkish Coast 🇹🇷 Side is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. This coastal town offers a stunning mix of history, culture, and vibrant modern life that makes it truly unforgettable. The Temple of Apollo is a breathtaking highlight — a magnificent tribute to a lost empire. Standing among its ancient columns, you can truly appreciate the grandeur and power of the civilizations that once thrived here. It’s a must-see for history lovers and photographers alike. The town itself is exceptionally clean, with fantastic shopping, charming streets, and a wide range of bars and restaurants catering to every taste. It also feels incredibly safe, with a noticeable and reassuring police presence throughout the area. If you’re holidaying anywhere along this part of Turkey, Side is absolutely worth the trip. I personally recommend visiting in the early evening — it’s quieter, the buses are less crowded, and you can enjoy the beauty of the town as it begins to come alive. That said, the later it gets, the more vibrant and energetic the atmosphere becomes, making it perfect for a lively night out as well. In short — don’t miss it!
Seb C — Google review
Short visit in Side for 5 hours- taxi transfer from hotel to Side and back (in our opinion better than by exchanging buses from hotel-Manavgat center-Side center-return). Harbour area is really nice to be visited, for shopping and eating- many alternatives to be choosed

Stunning Ancient Ruins by the Sea in Side! 🏛️🌅 The Temple of Apollo in Side is absolutely breathtaking — especially at sunset when the sky turns golden behind the historic columns. It’s one of the most iconic spots in the area and perfect for photos or just soaking in the ancient atmosphere. Located right by the sea, it’s easy to reach and surrounded by charming cafes and coastal views. A must-visit if you’re in Side!

Nature & Parks
The Köprülü Canyon National Park is a stunning destination with beautiful natural scenery, including a wooded canyon and an ancient stone bridge. Visitors can enjoy outdoor activities such as trout fishing and whitewater rafting. The view from the bridge is breathtaking, but caution should be taken when climbing down to the rocks below. On the way back from the park, visitors have reported being offered delicious tea by friendly locals for just a few lira.
Absolute amazing experience. But please do not book through your hotels! We flew with jet 2 and stayed in eftalia blue, they tried to charge us £65 per person, we found it for £55 for all 3 of us on get your guide, this was for the whitewater rafting and the zip line. Pick up was at 8am and we didn't get back until 8pm, very long day but an incredible experience.
Rob G — Google review
Visited the canyon with many different waterfalls and went rafting downstream afterwards. We drove the car there ourselves and got ourself a local operator on the spot who offered a personal guide on a private raft for just our group of 5 which was the best decision we made. We negotiated a price of €20p.p. for a total of 2 hours(1hr canyon, 1 hr rafting)+transport back to start point by car. We had time to enjoy the sights, take a dip/ dive in the river multiple time and had an amazing time. The youngest on our group was 9 and the oldest was 60+ but fit and fully mobile. Canyon is doable for elderly as the water is running, but no huge obstacles. The rafting part was a bit wild but also very fun! If you are with family and appreciate private space, rent a car, find your own operator and guide on spot, get a private raft and skip the lines. We noticed a significant amounts of trash on the sides of the river which was sad to see. Please collect all your trash and dispose appropriately.

Put on like, please. Very beautiful and the events are more than wonderful, especially rowing in the river SUVs, but the place is far away and there is no public transport mechanism at all, so it is recommended to rent a car, take a taxi or register with a tourist office.

If you’re looking for a river where you can enjoy some fun and adventure, this is the perfect spot! The water is crystal clear—you can even see the riverbed sparkling under the sunlight. The river isn’t too wild, so it’s an excellent choice for beginners. It was our first time rafting, and we had an amazing experience. We did a combination of activities in the same area, including quad biking, ziplining, and rafting. It was a fantastic day full of excitement and great memories!

First of all, we had a fantastic week at Hip Notics and we wanna come back next year. Positiv: -Super friendly personnel and a very nice vibe -Nice obstacles, not overcrowded -We had decent and always very clean rooms -System 2 and private lessons > 10/10 Thank you so much Berk, learned so much from him! -Very Cute Dog's & Cat's running arround Cons: Biggest con first: U are not allowed to carry a bag out of the supermarket to your own room. If the staff see's you with that, they will control your things and send you with your shopping bag back to your car. So you are not allowed to chill in your own room and consume your own snack's or drinks. Privacy? Non existing! You MUST! buy all the snack's and drinks at the Bar. And the prices are extremly high! A can of effe's beer is 5€, Corona 0,33cl 7€!! 0,33cl Coke is 3€.... They offer chips, nuts and ice cream. But if you want to buy something else which they don't offer, like a bar of chocolate or to eat some cookies > you are not allowed! -Whirlpool was in a very bad condition and very used. -Sauna was way to small and too crowded -Pool was a bit on the "used" side -Sport equipment like Basketball and Pickleball could be so much fun, and the sport place is very nice, but the Equipment is more or less completly broken that u can't use the fields. -Food was nice but more or less everyday the same With just a little effort and small changes, Hip Notics could be 5*!! All in all, as i said, we had a fantastic week & we will come back for sure.

Nestled in the heart of Turkey, Aspendos Theatre stands as a stunning testament to Roman architecture and ingenuity. This remarkably well-preserved amphitheater is not only an architectural marvel but also a vibrant venue for open-air performances and film screenings, allowing visitors to experience its grandeur just as ancient audiences did. Built by a local architect, it boasts steep steps that invite exploration—just be cautious while descending!
Magnificent ancient outdoor theater. A must see if you’re in the area, and also treat yourself to the “Fire of Anatolia” dance show, which is well worth the price of admission. How often do will you get to see a show in a 2000 year old theater? That’s why you should do it. The “VIP” tickets are $100, are located in the center section, and come with seat cushion. Get there early - seating is unassigned. You can bring in a picnic and drinks.

Aspendos Theatre is absolutely stunning! The architecture and preservation of the theatre make it one of the most beautiful historical sites I’ve visited. You can really feel the history when standing inside—it’s amazing to imagine the performances that took place here centuries ago. That said, it is quite far from Antalya city, and getting here isn’t the easiest. Taxis are hard to find, especially for the return trip, so I’d recommend arranging transport in advance or coming with a tour group. Overall, a must-visit if you love history and ancient sites—just plan your transportation well!

One, if not THE, best preserved ancient roman theatre in the world. Funny enough, it was thanks to the Ottoman using part as a caravansarail. The acoustics are incredible. The level of details of the marble carving just let you wonder how magnificent it must have been when just completed and fully made of shiny marble.

22/12/2024 I visited the Aspendos Theatre, and it was a truly breathtaking experience. As I walked through the ancient ruins, I couldn't help but think of the iconic song 'Tu Jaane Na' from the Bollywood movie Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. The theatre's stunning architecture and rich history transported me to a bygone era, and I felt a deep connection to the ancient culture of Aspendos. It was a truly unforgettable experience, and I felt grateful to have had the chance to witness the grandeur of this ancient wonder.

It is an entire site not just the theatre, but while the theatere is magnificently preserved, the rest is dust and poorly maintained/exposed ruins. I deducted one star for the poor conditions on the rest of the site. Be aware of disrespectful tourists that have only purpose, to Braga about being photographed there and annoy the other visitors.

An amazing theater in a great shapes after 2 millenia. It was constructed in Roman era in 1st century CE. There are still many marble seats. The acoustics are impressive. Go and sing out loudly. It is about an hour drive from Antalya.

Lol Greco-roman theater still used today while being restored. Spend 30-60 minutes exploring. There are huge segments of a viaduct standing nearby. 5-10 minutes drive from theatre.

i was here for the show "Fires of Anatolia", which was very entertaining, from which the drum performance impressed me the most. the ancient theatre (not amphitheater!) adds the unforgettable atmosphere, you feel the history, you get the greatest sound possible and there is no issue of having a sticking out head in front of you. careful while climbing up and down: millions of feet through the history of this place make stones slippery, especially the lower levels. however, take your time and effort to go to the top to enjoy the colonnade geometry and the theatre view. if you come to watch a show, i recommend to take something soft to sit on: big folded towel would do, or a thick hoodie. otherwise sitting for more than 1 hour on the bare stones is not really nice :)

Lovely restored old arched bridge, its quite unique as its dog legged and not straight over the river. They have done a great job of the restoration. It's just a shame that there is so much rubbish, glass and plastic bottles on the floor, it need tidy. Also some one has been lighting fires on the bridge and around the bridge which is a mess. Place needs looking after.

It was ok. Nice little nature area for a little picnic. Not a lot of water flowing during the summer or autumn months. Apparently the time to visit for a full flowing waterfall is winter after some real good rain.. Also caution, if you are planning on staying for a long picnic there are no working toilets.
Ellie E — Google review
We visited the waterfall in August and were very disappointed. There was hardly any water, and the place was almost dry. The trail to get there is also very difficult – you can’t drive a normal car on that road. You really need a higher car, otherwise it’s a struggle. Another problem is that there is no mobile signal in the area. If you get lost, it’s almost impossible to find your way. There is no road signs to follow, We travelled from Belek the journey should have taken about one hour, but because we missed the exit and there was no signal, it took us three hours to finally reach the waterfall. After all that, arriving to see almost no water was very disappointing. If you plan to visit, I would recommend going in winter or spring, when the waterfall is fuller, and only if you have a higher car and a proper map. Definitely avoid going in July or August, as it’s not worth it
Deniz A — Google review
Super great hike to some beautiful waterfalls 💦⛲💧🧗‍♂️ Enjoy the beautiful day full of sunshine and fresh air exploring these super cool waterfalls. The road to get up here is more than a little bit rough and definitely not for the faint of heart. Google Maps conveniently enough does not see any roads to get to the actual falls so it provides a fairly difficult navigation route. The application Maps.Me is far better for this place and will bring you exactly where you need to be down some dirt roads that are in good condition 👌 Always nice being in nature and surrounding yourself with all of her beauty. I enjoyed these waterfalls as well as the day out on the trail 🚶‍♂️💨

Perge Ancient City

Historical landmark

Ancient Ruins
Perge Ancient City, located just 18km north of Antalya, is a significant site in ancient Pamphylia. It has a rich history dating back to the Hittites around 1500 BCE and was inhabited continuously until the Byzantine era. The city was ruled by various powers including the Persians, Athenians, Alexander the Great, and the Romans.
Great half a day out. You can catch the tram and a taxi but getting a taxi back may be difficult. Carry water as there is only a cafe at the entrance and the park is quite big to get around bring an umbrella as shade is limited. Amazing for photos.
Michael M — Google review
My friend and I decided to visit Perge at the last minute, and it turned out to be a really great experience. We didn’t have tickets in advance, but when we arrived around noon, we didn’t have to wait in line at all, everything was quick and smooth. Tickets were 11 euros each, purchased on-site. I definitely recommend bringing water, as even in autumn the temperatures can be quite high. The site is beautiful, so bring sunscreen and a hat. Right outside the park, there are small shops selling hats and souvenirs. You can explore the whole park in about two hours at a comfortable pace, but if you’re like me and enjoy taking photos, videos, and reading all the inscriptions, you’ll probably need at least three hours. Signage inside the park is limited, so it’s a good idea to do some research beforehand or download information about the city’s history. There is also an area across the street from the main park that is technically outside the park but was open when we visited. Parking requieres a fee The site itself is incredibly well-preserved. Some sculptures, according to my friend who has visited multiple times, have been moved to the Antalya Archaeological Museum, which is currently under renovation. The museum houses original pieces up to 2–3 meters in size. We visited around noon on a weekday, and getting there was much faster than we expected. We thought it would take 45 minutes, but there was no traffic and we arrived very quickly. Overall, Perge is a stunning and well-maintained archaeological site and well worth a visit!
Gabriela H — Google review
Interesting but poorly managed site Perge Ancient City is an interesting and impressive place to visit, full of history and beautiful ruins. However, tourists are charged much more than locals for entry, which feels unfair. The audio guide wasn’t available on the day of our visit, and there are very few signs or explanations to help visitors understand the site. Additionally, the toilets were dirty and had no toilet paper, which was quite disappointing for such an important tourist attraction. Overall, it’s worth seeing, but the experience could be much better with cleaner facilities, clearer information, and fairer pricing.
Sandra C — Google review
Impressive place worth to visit. Ancient large stadium for 12K visitors is good. Long streets decorated by numerous columns. Pity that the theatre is closed for visitors. But one should visit the Perge in my opinion. November is a perfect time to explore. Just a few people around, quiet and not too hot.

Magnificent, wonderful ancient site. It is huge and it exceeded my expectations. The site is huge, reserve a few hours if you like ancient history and want to visit the entire site. Bring lots of water and comfortable shoes, it is dusty.

One of the best conserved ancient city I have ever seen. It literally takes hours to really go through the site. Went there with a guide in the early morning. It was empty and we had the whole all site almost to ourselves. The Gate of Alexander, the main street and the Agora are mindblowing.
Johan S — Google review
We visited Perge Ancient City on a weekday and it was very easy to reach from the city center by tram. From the tram station, it’s about a 1.4 km walk to the entrance. The archaeological site itself is astonishing — the ruins are well-preserved and the area is incredibly impressive to explore. There is also a small café and a merchandise shop where you can take a break and relax. Overall, a beautiful and historic site that’s definitely worth visiting, especially with such convenient access from central Antalya.
Budi R — Google review
Perge Ancient City is an impressive site with so much history, but there are definitely areas for improvement. The ruins are fascinating, but there aren’t enough markers with directions or distances, which makes it a bit confusing to navigate such a large area. Unfortunately, during our visit the theatre—the main attraction—was closed. It was disappointing since that’s one of the key highlights of Perge. I also think ticket prices should be adjusted when major sites are closed, as it doesn’t feel fair to pay full price in those situations. Still, it’s worth visiting if you’re interested in ancient history, but go with managed expectations and plenty of water, as the site is spread out.

Lower Duden Waterfalls

Waterfalls
Nestled on the eastern outskirts of Antalya, the Lower Duden Waterfalls are a stunning natural wonder that gracefully tumble into the Mediterranean Sea. Originating from the Duden River, which flows down from the Taurus Mountains, these waterfalls create a breathtaking spectacle as they cascade over cliffs surrounded by lush greenery. This picturesque destination is particularly enchanting in spring when water flow is at its peak, but it remains a captivating sight year-round.
A beautiful spot to come and see some amazing views where the river meets the med sea. Lots of places to sit, WiFi access. Grab a coffee, or a snack and take in the delights. This is probably one of my favourite places I visited in Antalya, and at 40°c....it was a magical place ✨️ ❤️
Emma — Google review
Beautiful natural wonder right by the Antalya coastline. The waterfalls drop directly into the Mediterranean, which makes for a stunning view, especially at sunset. You can enjoy the sight from nearby parks or take a boat tour for a closer look. Quite crowded during peak hours, but definitely worth visiting if you’re in Antalya.
Nafiz I — Google review
If you’re into a good walk, try walking from the center of Antalya to the Lower Düden Waterfalls. You’ll see a lot more of the city along the way, and the view at the end is beautiful! If you still have some energy left, you can continue to the sandy beach just behind it. I took the bus back and had a really nice day trip!
Rick J — Google review
Absolutely stunning beauty 🤗 If you are thinking to choose upper or lower please choose this but again my personal opinion. Beautiful has a park around to walk with lots of local vendors plus photo spots, zip liners and restaurant etc… A bit too sunny now so take water and cap/hat to protect from the heat and oh don’t forget the sunscreen, bath in it to guard from the harmful rays but otherwise definitely worth spending 2 hours looking around. You can easily access this place using local transport or taxi fyi. Definitely must visit in Antalya 👍
Preethi S — Google review
Worthwhile to see, but it’s a pity we didn’t see the boat to go under the waterfall. If you plan to come by bus, better to visit Lara Beach together with Duden waterfall, because bus KL08 can go to these two places. I heard upper Duden is pretty and has a cave. But did’t manage to visit it.

Old Town Restaurant- KALEIÇI is located in the heart of Antalya's charming Old Town, surrounded by perfectly restored Ottoman mansions and cobblestone streets. The area offers a blend of historical and natural attractions, from ancient ruins like Phaselis and Aspendos to natural wonders such as Karain Cave and Duden Waterfalls. Visitors can explore boutique hotels, souvenir shops, art galleries, and restaurants while soaking up the old-world ambience.
I just wanted to say a massive thank you to the Old Town Restaurant. After being scammed on the first day of our trip, we looked on Google for a good restaurant. Luckily, we found one. We ate at the restaurant a few times during our six-day stay in Antalya, and it was absolutely fantastic every time. The food, the hygiene, the staff – it was all spot on. The boss is great. After we first visited, he offered us a big free salad each time, and Turkish tea, of course! Yes, Please! ! My kids are big fans of yours – you guys are doing a great job! If you're a first-time tourist, I'd recommend going straight to the Old Town Restaurant for your first meal. That way, you'll quickly learn what to expect from authentic Turkish food and Turkish people. No nonsense here!

Incredibly delicious Turkish food. Sedat is a great host and very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We highly enjoyed the aubergine with meat dish, Adana kebab, and chicken skewers which were all very flavourful, tender, and well cooked.

Amazing service, very kind and helpful and honest staff. Both dishes were very tasty, juicy and fresh. The brought us free mezze and yoghurt dip with fresh bread before the food which were tasty as well. After lunch they brought us free tea which was very good too. They will recommend getting salad or soup, or the fresh juice which they also make instead of the bottled juice for example, but up selling is part of any good waiter's job, if you say no they're extremely respectful and polite about it of course. We came for the reviews and we were not let down, we were very vary of not getting scammed while dining in the center but instead they ended up charging us TOO LITTLE, and when I brought it up with the waiter and then the owner that we should be paying MORE they were super friendly and still charged us the lower amount, so we just tipped instead. Ibrahim was out waiter, and unlike other restaurants, these guys didn't ask us to review them but I feel like it's only fair to appreciate their good work amongst so many other tourist traps.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious – fresh, flavorful, and authentically Turkish. The service was excellent, the staff were very welcoming and attentive.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and I will definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

The old port of Antalya, known as Antalya Kaleici Yat Limani, is a historic harbor located at the foot of the cliffs in the heart of the old town of Kaleici. It is the birthplace of Antalya and has retained the spirit of the past. The port was originally the city's main trading gateway for centuries, dating back to the 2nd century BC, welcoming ships from the ancient Romans to the Byzantines and Seljuks. Today, it is primarily a marina for yachts and tourist boats, surrounded by restaurants, cafes, and boutiques. The architecture of the port is a mix of Ottoman and Mediterranean styles, with stone buildings and cobblestone promenades. It offers one of the best panoramic views of the Antalya Bay and the Taurus Mountains. Today, the main activity is organizing boat trips, including tours to waterfalls, coastal excursions, and evening cruises. The area becomes particularly lively in the evening, when the lights are turned on and a romantic atmosphere is created. The port can be reached on foot through the cobbled streets of Kaleici, descending from the main gate of Hadran or down the stairs from Ataturk Boulevard. Historically, it was the economic center of the city, but with the relocation of the main port to the western part of the city in the 1980s, it has completely shifted its focus to tourism.

Kaleiçi is a breathtaking blend of history, culture, and scenic beauty. Walking through its charming narrow streets feels like stepping back in time, with beautifully preserved Ottoman-era houses, ancient ruins, and vibrant local shops. The atmosphere is magical, especially in the evening when the streets are lit up, creating a cozy and romantic vibe. The Yat Limanı (Marina) is equally stunning, offering picturesque views of the Mediterranean. It’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy a seaside meal, or take a boat tour to explore the coastline. The turquoise waters, combined with the backdrop of historic walls and lush greenery, make it a photographer’s paradise! Whether you're a history lover, a foodie, or simply looking for a peaceful escape, Kaleiçi & the Marina have something for everyone. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Antalya! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Antalya Archaeology Museum is a great place to explore, especially if you enjoy Roman history — they have an impressive collection of statues, mosaics, and artifacts. Entry is about 30 GBP per person for foreigners, which feels a bit expensive but the exhibits are well worth it. One thing to note: they try to sell you an audio guide at the entrance, but honestly, it’s not really worth the extra cost — the museum has plenty of written descriptions in English. Overall, a beautiful and rich museum experience, just be mindful of the extras.

Planet H — Google review
I was a bit concerned about paying 15 Euros for what I supposed was a provincial museum. But, it's not a provincial museum full of stuff that didn't make the capital: it has room after room of awesome quality, life size and larger, statuary and reliefs. The trials of Hercules on several of the sarcophagi are awesome - fighting the lion, subduing Cerberus the three headed dog, chopping the hydra's head off, all that fun stuff. The cool thing here is you can get right up close without being shouted at, or alarms going off. You can feel the marble breathing. The prize possession, a resting Hercules, is tremendous. And, okay, so I haven't been to Rome and may be overexcited, but the head of Antinous is indeed beautiful enough to arrest an emperor (and the description with it refreshingly does not shy away from their love or Hadrian's publication of his grief after Antinous drowns in the Nile.) The collection is equally replete with both sensual and civic representations of women. In the patrician classes, women were in equal positions of power and the named sculptures here ooze intelligence and respect. (Quite a lot of the guys have, unfortunately, lost their special treasures during various iconoclastic periods, but there are still plenty to go round.) Beyond the statues, there are some early christian icons, including a reliquary of St Nicholas containing a supposed piece of his jawbone and skull (awesome - bits of Father Christmas - show that to the kids and see if they believe again!) And the galleries then flow into the garden for some desultory leftovers. A fine journey.

Worth the price. We paid roughly 30€ per person for the Aquarium part. Got to see some realy nice fish up close. The sharks were really nice. The big one was a beast to look at. If you want to take your time going through all the available aquariums, you will need roughly 2.5 hours.

Visited on August 15, 2025. Paid 40 dollars per person as foreing citizens for just aquarium itself. If booked online via the aquarium’s official site in advance, it costs 36 dollars instead. Overall it was nice but it is a bit pricey for what it offered. It is home to the world’s largest tunnel aquarium, stretching 131 meters in length. Inside, visitors can marvel at a life-size airplane and shipwreck, while coming face to face with majestic sharks.

I bought the full package for a family of three through our travelling agency with access to the Aquarium, Ice World, Wax Museum, Wild life and Cinema. Overall it was a good experience, but definitely more expensive than its actual worth. I guess the logic of the owners is that tourists are willing to pay more for something they will visit only once in their lifetime (typical Turkish bankrupt mentality). Of course, it wouldn't be Turkey if they wouldn't try to also fish some more money from you: at the entrance in the Aquarium, they take your photos and give you a card with a code bar. When you exit, you can only do it by scanning the code bar and they give you an option to purchase a series of photos for 50 euros or less for individual items (15 euros for a fridge magnet with your photo).

The aquarium itself was very beautiful. Nothing too different from the others we've been, but still worth to visit if you're there. But the kids were absolutely amazed with the snow room. It's tiny, but has a few ice slides and a cosy little cafeteria.
Agnė Š — Google review
As others have mentioned, this place is massively overpriced for what it offers. We purchased the full tickets, but left feeling underwhelmed. The aquarium is small and unimpressive—probably the most interesting part is the “shark feeding”, though you’ll mostly see other fish with a few small sharks mixed in. There’s also an option to feed the sea rays (for an extra fee, of course), which some may find entertaining. The wildpark felt more like an adoption center for leftover reptiles, with a heavy focus on ball pythons. While there are some larger snakes like anacondas, the overall variety wasn’t much better than the aquarium. The Oceanride XD cinema was a decent addition and helped fill time between stops, but again, it’s overpriced for what you get. The wax museum wasn’t for me—some figures didn’t even resemble the real people. Overall, this feels like just another tourist trap in Turkey: high prices, minimal value. It might still appeal to those who haven’t traveled much, haven’t been to major aquariums/zoos, or simply don’t mind spending extra. But for most travelers, it’s not worth the time or money—you can safely skip it.

The aquarium is nice, but honestly, I think it's overpriced. It has a lot of animals, but it's quite small — you only need around 30 minutes to complete the tour. Kids will love it though, and there's also a play area for them. However, I was really sad to see the penguins’ wings tied. I think that’s so cruel!
Ons — Google review
A great place to visit with kids! There's a wide variety of sea creatures from around the world, and the underwater tunnel is especially beautiful—it really gives you that immersive experience. One highlight is the impressive large shark, which was amazing to see up close. However, I do think they could add more types of fish, especially in the tunnel area. The ticket price is on the higher side; I've visited larger aquariums that were more affordable. Still, if you're in Antalya with children, it's definitely worth a visit.
Oussama A — Google review
Beautiful and well designed aquarium with huge tunnel. A lot of different species of fish and aquatic ecosystem. Great place to visit with kids as it has got snow world, 8D cinema, and a wild park. The only downside is that it is overpriced making it a tourist trap.

Karain Cave

Nature & Parks
Caverns & Caves
Inaccessible cave system inhabited by humans for thousands of years.
It was a very beautiful and unique cave, but it’s not recommended during the hotter months for people who can’t handle a bit of hiking, as it can get extremely hot and there’s a risk of heatstroke
Aidin Y — Google review
472 steps later and breathless you go into the cave. They have lights inside and it looks marvelous. If you have the stamina to walk up the stairs it is worth it.
Aslan D — Google review
To climb to a serious height, you use a ladder for about half an hour. That's why I strongly recommend you to bring water with you. When you get to the top, you visit a cave with a natural habitat of bats and a truly unique natural beauty.
Mehmet Ö — Google review
The Karain Caves in Turkey are a remarkable site that transports you back thousands of years. Once home to prehistoric humans, they hold ancient tools, carvings, and bones that reveal deep insights into early life. The atmosphere inside is both mysterious and awe-inspiring, with cool stone chambers echoing history. Surrounded by lush scenery and dramatic mountain views, the caves also offer a sense of adventure and discovery. Perfect for history enthusiasts, archaeology lovers, or travelers seeking a unique cultural experience, Karain Caves are a powerful reminder of humanity’s enduring story.

Karain Cave in Antalya is a bit far from downtown, but the journey there is really fun. The mountains around the cave are so beautiful and will capture your attention. Inside the cave, there are only bats and not much else, and it's a bit challenging to climb all the stairs to get up the mountain. But once you reach the top and look down, you'll have a great time enjoying the view.

Water & Amusement Parks
Dinopark Antalya is a family-friendly theme park featuring a petting zoo, 7D dinosaur movies, an adventure park, and a splash pool. Visitors can enjoy exploring life-size animatronic dinosaurs and engaging in activities like zip line rides and water park fun. The park also includes a zoo, making it an ideal destination for families with young children who are fascinated by dinosaurs.
It's great place to visit with kids. We came early and it was quite and specious, but usually it is pretty busy. There are few food options points and pools for kids. Our kids were age 2 and 4 and absolutely loved it, last year our cousins age 9 and 16 loved it as well.
Галина Н — Google review
We visited with our 3-year-old son. I had read the negative reviews beforehand but didn’t take them seriously. Don’t make the same mistake! The park is ridiculously expensive. You can see everything in 2 hours, and it costs €25 per adult. For that price, you get to see a few dinosaurs that are somewhat run-down, with seating for children that is almost falling apart, and distressed animals that are clearly not well. Besides the absolutely terrible prices: • 10 minutes of electric car: 100 Lira • 10 minutes of digging: 150 Lira • 2 ice creams: 400 Lira The playground equipment is just rundown and dangerous. While the water in the pool was clean, there was a lot of dirt on the bottom, and the stones were extremely slippery. We will definitely never come back!!! For the money, it’s better to enjoy a nice meal and let the children play in a playground.
Nils — Google review
Went here for lunch as part of a tour, I can see in the summer this place would be a lot of fun for kids as several parts were closed up such as a small water park and some rides.
Ty ( — Google review
*WARNING* We took our son here as a break from our all inclusive. We stupidly didn't check the reviews first and can confirm much of the other reviews. There’s no ticket prices on their website and probably just make it up as they go. The place cost us €75 to enter with two adults and a 4 year old. We actually turned around and got back in the taxi but our 4 year old was distraught about leaving so decided to take the steep leap! We were met by a photographer who wanted to take a family photo and really wouldn’t take no for an answer. We didn't partake. We walked the dinosaur trail in about 45min. Most of the dinos are animatronic and pretty rundown and in disrepair. Everything was dirty and neglected. We visited the trampoline area which was neglected and and looked unsafe. The rest of the park was horrible and super expensive. Needless to say we cut the visit short and called our taxi back. We just tried to make the best of it for our son but don’t make the same mistake we did and read the reviews. Save your money and skip this one!
Sam A — Google review
£20GBP per person to get in. We arrived 3:45pm on a 23 degree hot Wednesday afternoon. Told before buying the tickets the place closed at 6pm but told ‘plenty time’ to check everything out. We walked around the whole place within 25mins inc stopping to take pics. No water park, not even 1 food place open, no where to grab a drink. Even tho paying £20 EACH (family of 2 adults and 3 kids under 7) to get in, then have to pay additional if you want to use the playground areas, trampolines, animal feed (to feed 3 goats) and donkey/horse rides. Devastated there was no water park as I actually brought swim suits and Towels with me as they advertise a waterpark. It’s a joke of a place and I would most definitely not reccomend. Waste of £100 and taxi fare.
Sabrina K — Google review
The dinosaurs are very good & very life-like. Sometimes a bit too life-like, a little boy was in tears. But they had an extra bit to walk through on the way out with lots of pieces of dead bodies, very scary for the children. The food was nice, but the toilets weren't the best
Sharon L — Google review
Very nice area with the restaurant. We started with a dinner of kabbab and fresh pomegranate juice and both are amazing. Then moved to the dino park with the kids and its very enjoyable with all the dino statues and info about them. A playground for kids available with many activities some are free others paid. A good place to have a break
Bassem M — Google review
Please save yourselves and avoid this place!!! My kids are slightly traumatized from the experience, and so am I. The dinosaurs are more or less fine but the rest of the park is extremely outdated and unsanitary, to say the least. Plus, the trampolines etc are definitely not safe. The worst 150€ spent (for 6 people).

Göynük Canyon

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Nature & Parks
Adventure sports center
The Goynuk Canyon Adventure Park is situated in a rough and rugged terrain, offering its visitors an array of thrilling activities such as zip lining, canyon safaris, and swimming in natural waterfalls. The location has breathtaking views which can easily be reached by a 50-minute walk with plenty of opportunities for taking pictures. It's also possible to observe fish in the nearby lakes.
It's a rather big canyon with coldish water running throughout it. There are various activities you have to pay a fee for (like rafting, zip line, boats, canyon viewing). But you can also pay a much cheaper fee to go in without paying for the activities and just swim in the lake. There is also many hiking grounds and rather expensive cafés and ice-cream parlours. Still, I would recommend going at least once.
Aslı A — Google review
Beautiful park overseeing the canyon. 1.9 km of trekking either through the forest (there is sign on the tree) or through the dirt road where there is many 4x4 driving with tourists both ways every few minutes but it didn’t bother us as the views were much better. At the end there are bars and restaurants and beautiful pond with turquoise water and view to the mountains and stream. Too commercial for us but nature is spectacular and there is few spots where you can find peace and quiet.
Karolina H — Google review
Definitely a must-see around Kemer. A beautiful canyon, stunning nature, and crystal-clear water. The trail is suitable for everyone — nothing challenging here. The entrance fee is $5 or 200 TRY. There are restaurants at the beginning and the end, but they’re quite expensive — a beer costs around $8. It’s worth coming early in the morning before the crowds arrive. We visited off-season, and there were only a few people besides us, but as we were leaving, tour buses started to arrive.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Must-Visit Natural Wonder in Antalya! Göynük Kanyon is absolutely breathtaking! Located near Kemer in Antalya, this hidden gem offers stunning natural beauty, crystal-clear waters, and an unforgettable adventure for nature lovers and thrill-seekers alike. The hike through the canyon is both scenic and refreshing, surrounded by towering cliffs, lush greenery, and the soothing sound of flowing water. There are plenty of opportunities for swimming, zip-lining, and even canyoning if you're feeling adventurous. The cool mountain water is perfect for escaping the summer heat. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the area is well-maintained with clear signage and safety measures in place. The entry process was smooth, and there are facilities like lockers, changing rooms, and cafés available at the entrance. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or just looking for a peaceful escape into nature, Göynük Kanyon is a must-visit. It’s one of the most beautiful spots in the region, and I’d highly recommend adding it to your Antalya itinerary!

Approx 5 km hike back and forth. Entrance 5 eur. All canyon is wired with zip-lines, they cost 25 eur, but I did not see anyone using them. At the very end of the route you can go rafting, also 25 eur. I did not so nothing to say about that. I have came on foot from Goynuk hotels area, that took me 3 hours with total 17 km (depends on location of your hotel), totally doable if you like and able to hike. Visited on 5th of November, not many people, cafes also already nor working.

Termessos Ruins, located atop Güllük Mountain within the Mount Gulluk-Termessos National Park, offer a captivating experience for history enthusiasts and nature lovers. Accessible via hiking trails, this well-preserved Pisidian city sits over 1,000 feet above sea level and provides stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The site features ancient ruins including a theater, tombs, baths, schools, and churches.
Fantastic place. A must see in Antalya. Entrance is about $2 per person. The entire path from the parking lot to the amphitheater is 3.5 km. The path to the amphitheater is constantly uphill and over rocks. It is difficult, but definitely worth it. Wear comfortable non-slip shoes.
DaVinciFX G — Google review
The place is in ruins, you will be walking through a jungle forest with large stones and pieces of column all around you. Occasionally, you’ll see a wall or an arch. There are a few exceptions to this, the most notable being the theater, which is in remarkably great shape given how the rest of the city fared, and the small temple of Artemis (not the one near the parking lot). The setting is amazing, once you get up to the higher levels, you can see that you’re sitting in a straddle of a few shorter peaks with great views down two large valleys. Bring hiking shoes, the town is about a Moderately steep hike up from the parking lot. It took me about 3 1/2 hours round-trip and I got to see most of what I wanted but not everything. I walked about 9000 steps and climbed 51 floors. So it’s not like many sites where you pull up to the parking lot walk a kilometer and see just about everything.
Trey C — Google review
The theater place at the border of a cliff worth the trip alone. Small hike from the parking, around 20min. Correct shoes needed and water.
Thomas L — Google review
Amazing place. Like Indiana Jones discovery. Fully natural with no manmade artifacts. One of the best ruins I have seen anywhere in Europe. It's a uphill ride from the entry gates which is about 5 km below. Then from the car park it's a 30 minutes walk up. Of this the first 10 minutes is tiring but after that it's all very exciting. A must visit.

My lord this place was like no other ancient city I've visited in Turkey so far and I've been to more than 10+ now! There was so much still there lying as rubble on the floor, especially on what was the main street in the city, and it looks as though it has remained untouched for centuries since it was destroyed by earthquakes. But the piece de resistance was the largely intact remains of the theatre in the mountains, really magical and ethereal! Loved this place!

Phaselis Ancient City is a captivating destination that beautifully showcases the remnants of its rich history as an ancient port city. Nestled between two picturesque bays along the Mediterranean coast, this site features ruins from various eras, including Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman influences. Visitors can explore a compact layout that includes two agorai, baths, sacred areas, and a theater. The stunning coastal scenery enhances the experience; with shallow waters perfect for a refreshing swim or simply relaxing by the beach.
A lot of shade and the smell of pine make this park very pleasant for a walk. The beach is shallow and warm, but there are also deeper areas for those who enjoy diving. Prices are a bit high for tourists. It’s a good idea to bring your own food and drinks, as options are limited, though you can still find something. Overall, a lovely place to relax and enjoy nature.

We waited around 30 minutes or more at the gate because it was crowded on a weekday. The Mountain View is amazing and spending time by nature there was fun, but I just found that the entrance for the local versus for tourists has a huge difference. After visiting the ancient city and the citadel, you have to sit by The beach there cause it is stunning. The water was amazing so bring your swimsuit with you if you’re planning to go there, lots were having picnics at the beach which was pretty fun. All in all we really enjoyed our time there but to be fair the price should be cheaper for tourists.

Have been here many times over the last 17 years, but this time, the beach was overflowing with litter, plastic bottles, diapers, paper and much more. When you pay 400 Lira per person, you expect the nature park to have good cleaning routines. On the positive side, work is now underway to restore the ruins and you can see the outlines of something great.

This place was beautiful! Well worth the visit! We god stuck in a HUGE line of cars waiting to park, so we drove onto the highway and took the next left, and took some backroads, arriving two bays south. We parked the car there and walked over to Phaselis, you can either walk over the cliff, or if you’re ok with water, along the face of the cliff where the sea meets it. Either way, better than waiting in the line of cars for hours!

Great experience. Was £36 each 6/9/25. Cable carts hold roughly 30 people. You can spend along as you want at the top. Mosque was closed, expo space was closed. Parking free at bottom. Nice road to the cable cart. Had fun racing up and down. Be careful as no barriers and if you go off you're probably dead.

Taking the Olympos Teleferik sounded exciting, but unfortunately, the weather wasn’t on our side. When we reached the top, everything was covered in thick fog we could barely see anything! It was a bit disappointing, especially since the ticket is quite pricey. If you plan to visit, definitely check the weather forecast beforehand. On a clear day, the view must be absolutely stunning, but in foggy conditions, you miss out on what makes the trip special. Most of the other activities at the top were also closed because of the weather. All in all, it was still an experience, but I wouldn’t go again. Once is enough and next time, I’d make sure to visit on a sunny day!

Excellent cable car ride. We didn’t have long to explore at the top though before we had to go sadly as we were accosted by the photographers who said there was no obligation to buy. We said no thank you numerous times and then gave in because they wouldn’t leave us alone. After having photos done in an out of bounds section at the top, the photographer took us to show us the photos. Even just one photo was 17 Euros alone so we declined even though they were very good. Despite not being obligated to buy, the photographer was not happy with us and pulled his face at us which I felt was rude. The gift shop was a little expensive but very good. The coffee shop was good value but staff were a little ignorant, looking me up and down. I enjoyed the cable car ride down. Recommended just to see the views alone.

Çıralı Beach is a stunning and expansive rustic beach with a mix of sand and small pebbles. In the summer, it's home to sea turtle nests, adding to its natural charm. The beach stretches all along the cove to the Olympos antique site on its western edge. The sandy back transitions into pebbly and rocky shores, leading to crystal-clear waters thanks to the rocky sea bottom.
lovely beach! there aren't any public facilities or much shade but the water has a great temperature and there's a lot of space. there are sunbeds and umbrellas that probably belong to the restaurants and hotels right by the beach.

It's an amazing and not crowded beach with picturesque surrounding mountains. Meet the sunrise over the Mediterranean sea. The beach is mostly with pebbles mixed with sand. Lots of shopping and dining options in the village. The beach and water are clean. The beach itself is a place where sea turtles Caretta Caretta lay their eggs. The places are marked with small metal pyramid cages. When baby turtles start to hatch they run to the sea. It happens at nights so for the period of hatching the attendance of the beach is closed at night.
Artemiy K — Google review
This is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been. The breeding ground for caretta carettas. What a beautiful premise. However it comes with a quite amount of water pollution especially during the noon. Bubbly water due to whatever the boats are getting rid of. Bottle caps, baking paper, plastic bags, cookie wrap, plastic nets. You can find all that in the water. I don't want to know all the things we can not see. Everybody seems to ignore it. Children play in it. People swim by the bags. I guess humans don't deserve this beauty.

You can put a tent on the beach if you don’t mind ships parked nearby. Note that you are not allowed to set up a tent in savanna area as it’s a National park. The savanna is amazing and so unique for this region of Turkey! Perfect for photoshoots and theme activities.

Great beach. Quiet and not crowded. Would recommend the northern or central parts rather than the more crowded southern edge near the Olympos ruins. To access these sections you can just keep walking up the beach or if you have a car there is a road that runs alongside the beach. One of the best beaches of the trip, not overhyped.

It boasts of a recreational aerial tram that takes visitors to the summit offering breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and mountain range. Although considered pricey by some, it's worth every penny. Visitors should be prepared for colder temperatures as they ascend higher up the mountain. In winter months, crampons are necessary after reaching an elevation of 1800 meters.
Very nice experience taking the cable car all the way to the top of the mountain. Views were panoramic and gorgeous. Facilities on the top of the mountain are very clean.

Great view of snowy hill on the side of sea, foggy weather prevented view of the open sea but it was good to get a few glimpse, it’s on the mind as unable to capture from the lens

Gorgeous mountain with great infrastructure. Loved the experience - visited on the sunset tour and it was trully worth going there for the sunset. The colours are stunning. It is jot as crowded. There is a jumping rope there - quite fun thing to try. Wear something worm - it is a lot colder at this altitude, especially in the evening. On the top you have a coffee shop and restaurant. Nice place to warm up.

Even on the hottest day, it's comfortable and cool here.Turkey's most beautiful beaches can be seen from this mountain. From a height of 2,375 meters, you will see beautiful cities, beaches and greenhouses in Turkey. Our children really enjoyed going uphill and flying from the mountain to the beach with paragliding. We're going to go back to fly.

Mount Chimaera

National reserve
Nature & Parks
Group of natural vents spouting perpetual flames above the ruins of the temple of Hephaistos.
Unique place, worth the short hike.You must be quite mobile to get up here. Great views and if you are lucky there may be cats up here. Lots of tourists but that doesnt really matter. You can also roast marshmallows which they sell at the bottom of the hike here. Would definitely recommend doing that with little kids! Lots of fun for the whole family.

Beautiful adventure!! Many natural vents with permanent flames above the ruins of the temple of Hephaistos You must take with you bottles of water and plenty of tissues because you will have so much sweating and become thirsty.. About 1000 meters climbing up with difficulty .. there are many rocks and tortious pathways ..

Make sure you’re QUITE fit and have no mobility issues. Intense 1km climb to the top on a rocky path with huge steps. Make sure it’s not going to rain; the rocks get pretty slippery. If you come close to dusk/night, bring big flashlights and hope you have good night vision. The fire coming out of the mountain is super cool though. Bring marshmallows! It’s about the size of a small campfire. The area at the bottom of the mountain is quite peaceful as well, which was surprising for a tourist attraction. Btw the road leading down to it is a quite windy downhill with many blind curves.

Amazing natural phenomenon. Careful, rocks are polished and slippery, even when dry and dusty. Bring a bright flashlight if you are staying after dark. Take photos after dark under the rocks around the fires.

Easy hike up. 60tl entrance per person, toilet 10tl. Would avoid going up in heat, still manageable.

So someone tells me there’s a place in Turkey where fire literally comes out of the ground. Naturally, I assume it’s one of those tourism exaggerations. Like when a hotel calls their pool “an oasis” and it turns out to be a lukewarm puddle next to a parking lot. Or when you’re promised an “authentic village experience” and get a guy in a tunic selling Pringles. But then I get to Mount Chimaera. And, folks, there ARE flames. Real, actual, unexplained flames just casually shooting out of the rocky hillside like it’s no big deal. No wood. No gas line. No special effects budget. Just fire. Eternal, logic-defying fire. The ancient Greeks looked at this and went, “Yep, monster breath.” And honestly? That explanation makes more sense to me than natural gas seeping through rock fissures or whatever science is trying to say. I still don’t believe what I saw. I kept blinking. I stare at the ground in disbelief a lot but not like this.

The chimera is not so fascinating as advertised. Impressive is the 1 km stair up which takes about 30 min, but very hard to go up. And then on the plato you see four small fires on the small territory. It is so crowded with the tourists that you need to take a queue to make a photo.

20-25 minute hike to see the eternal flame, pretty cool really! Bring some marshmallows to roast over the flames

So much potential, so little done in 12 years to improve the ski runs & facilities. Could be amazing, but alas, it needs some investment. Go when it's Fresh & Deep is my suggestion.

(Translated by Google) We went with a tour. There's a cafeteria in the area, but it was buzzing with heat, and they never heated it. Although it's centrally located, they supposedly turned it on at the lowest setting, but even the heating is useless. As the crowds get bigger, the place gets hotter, otherwise, it's freezing cold. Also, the restroom costs 20₺, and when we went, there was no electricity or running water. Imagine the service they charge for 20₺ and provide. Since we went with a tour, the only enjoyable part of the tour was enjoying the sausage, bread, and ayran tea. Otherwise, it gets extremely crowded in the afternoons, unnecessarily crowded, a place you'd visit once out of curiosity; you might not even want to go any further. (Original) Turla gittik. Alanda kafeteryası var ama buzzzz gibi asla ısıtmamışlardı. Kaloriferli bir yer olmasına rağmen en kısıkta sözde yakmışlar ama kaloriferlerin bile kendine hayrı yok. İçerisi kalabalıklaştıkça ortam insanlardan dolayı ısınıyor yoksa buz buz yani. Ayrıca wc si ücretli 20₺ ve biz gittiğimizde elektrik su yoktu haliyle 20₺ yi alıp verdileri hizmeti siz düşünün. Turla gittiğimiz için sadece sucuk ekmek ayran çay keyfi turun en keyifli tarafıydı. Onun dışında öğleden sonra aşırı kalabalıklaşıyor gereksiz kuru bir kalabalık 1 kez meraktan gidilecek bir yer devamını istemezsiniz bile
