Very nice ruins, lots of history, and if your lucky archaeologists will be doing live digs in the area

I enjoyed photographing and exploring the ancient architecture

Treasure trove of history ! It was quiet and not busy, definitely worth a visit for all those that love going back in time. A chance to take some amazing photos too!

Renovation/preservation work in progress by the looks of it. But impressive as it is.

Nothing to see here.

But its not men temple it is demether’s temple

(Translated by Google) Everything was perfect when I visited Men Temple! The beautiful architecture and tranquil atmosphere made me feel at peace. I also appreciated how friendly and helpful the staff was. I definitely want to visit again. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Original) Men Tapınağı'na gittiğimde her şey mükemmeldi! Harika mimarisi ve sakin atmosferiyle kendimi huzurlu hissettim. Personelin güleryüzlü ve yardımsever olması da ayrıca hoşuma gitti. Kesinlikle tekrar ziyaret etmek istiyorum. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Beautiful clean ottoman mosque .. went for Juma must go early

Realy beutifull inside

Nice place to get cheap stuff

Went to the market and belek mosque. Lovely place.

Small but lovely mosque. In Belek centre so very easy to get to. Taxi base next door so easy to get a cab back too.

All the necessary amenities, separate section for ladies, amazing calligraphy

The place is absolutely stunning and extraordinarily exceptional. Unfortunately, choosing July for our stay turned out to be a poor decision due to the extremely hot and humid weather, which caused illness among the family, especially the children. However, aside from that—which is beyond human control—everything was simply magical. The price is high, but the services fully justify the cost. The staff were incredibly cooperative and friendly, showing great patience with the various situations and temperaments of the children. The price also included everything: water games, food and drinks, photos, the amusement park—all throughout the day without any additional charges. The team was quick to respond to every request, always helpful and efficient. Room services were excellent—no more than a few minutes would pass before the staff arrived to fulfill any request in all three rooms we stayed in. Our stay consisted of three rooms for four days. The evening festivals were wonderful, and the hotel is directly connected to a shopping mall that includes all the top brands. The pharmacy is open daily until 12:00 am. I was truly impressed by everything I experienced there. It’s a place worth visiting again, and I highly recommend it.

The Land of Legends is truly an amazing place. While it is designed with children in mind, the scale and grandeur of the resort make it exceptional for all ages. The hotel itself is stunning, and there is an incredible variety of activities to enjoy. A few days here is simply not enough. Having visited Dubai several times, I can honestly say that Land of Legends surpasses those experiences—this has been by far our best holiday. That said, there are areas that really need improvement. The biggest issue is the lack of clear information provided to guests at check-in. Staff continually refer guests to “Guest Relations,” but unfortunately, the Guest Relations team does not seem adequately trained to explain the basics. Instead, they redirect guests to the mobile app. While the app is useful for making bookings, it is confusing and does not clearly outline what is included in the all-inclusive package, where things are located, and when activities take place. As a result, guests are left to figure everything out themselves, which is frustrating at the start of the holiday. However, once you do manage to work things out, the experience is truly unforgettable. Suggestion: Please create a clear welcome document or video guide for all guests, explaining in simple terms: What’s included in the all-inclusive package Dining and activity options (with times and locations) How to use the app effectively This would make a huge difference to the guest experience and allow everyone to enjoy the resort fully from the very beginning. Thank you.

We were extremely pleased with our stay at your hotel. Everything was so well organized, and all the staff were constantly working with great dedication. We were satisfied with everyone, but there was one employee we truly admired: Samet from Çorum. His kindness, positivity, warm smile, and the way he always checked in to ask if we were happy made us feel very welcome. Thank you, Samet — keep smiling! You added even more beauty to our unforgettable holiday. We would also like to thank The Land of Legends for giving our children such a wonderful vacation experience.

This is one of the best hotels that I have ever been. Everything was incredible and we had a splendid and joyful time at this hotel. The atmosphere was great you can reach everything easily. The staff was great too. We hadn’t encountered any problem or issue. Everything we ask for was easily solved. My children had a very good experience and definitely. We will visit this hotel again in the next summer. The price is a bit high. I think they can reduce their prices to help people stay more night at their hotel

Brilliant place! We had a great time with our 4 children- there was something for every child (15 year old to 4 year old!). Special mention to the customer service manager at Kingdom hotel who dealt swiftly with a guest who had verbally abused my 11 year old daughter in the lifts. (She was on her own and had got into the lift with a English family - the adult man then swore at her, calling her f'ing rude, accusing her of pushing in!) I was very cross and my daughter really upset by the incident as she was sure she didnt push in- regardless an adult man shouldnt be swearing at a child! I complained to the front desk customer service, who promptly looked at the CCTV, confirmed the person /family with my daughter. Invited me later in the evening to advise that they had spoken to the guest who apologised and said he wasnt swearing at my child, but rather his own, apparently (!). The member of staff even bought a Maya the Bear toy for my daughter to make her feel better- which it did. Breakfast and Dinner at the hotel is great, a good selection and holiday club, though a little on the small side was comfortable and entertained the younger 2 (4 yrs and 8 yrs old) whilst the older 2 (15 years and 11 years old) could enjoy the bigger rides. Overall positive experience. And would recommend both Kingdom Hotel and Land of Legends.

We had an amazing experience at the Kingdom Hotel, and a big part of that is thanks to Alihan from Guest Relations. From the very first moment, he was attentive, approachable, and always ready to help with anything we needed. No matter what the request was, Alihan always took his time, listened carefully, and found the best solution. You could really feel that he genuinely cares about the guests and wants to make their stay as enjoyable as possible. It makes such a difference when you know you can rely on someone at the hotel – and for us, Alihan was that person. If you ever stay here, make sure to reach out to him. He is truly the best and made our stay unforgettable. Thank you, Alihan

Hotel was lovely, had great facilities and the staff were super helpful especially Ofran in the bar area. The only thing I would say that would have suited my family better would have been more snacks available and maybe some after dinner time too. My kids aren’t great eaters and struggle on holiday so usually snack more than having a meal and we didn’t find any snacks available throughout or stay other than the ice cream.

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.

Great place, beautiful views. Suitable for kids, gets crowded after a while but still very much worth it. Better to get the tickets online rather than local guides as it's cheaper.

To get to the lift there is a 20 min car journey from the road. The cable car is large and takes about 30 people. The height covered is so big that my es ached from the pressire changes. The view st the top was amazing. Take a jacket as it is cold. The building is spacious and the food adequate.

We went there with a rented car. Car broke down 800m from destination. Staff were very helpfull and found a man thats had jump leads to start the car and helped with this regard. Great views, and surprisingly cheaper prices on top of the mountain than at the bottom.

Great view - really nice excursion. However, the price tag is a bit high. We paid a bit below 200 € for 3 adults and two kids. The view is fantastic. Combine it with Paragliding and it is really worth it 👍.

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.

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!

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 👍

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.

Breathtaking views of the waterfall, perfect for photos. You can also catch planes flying past. Shops on site for snacks and drinks. Zipline available on site. Worth visiting.

Breathtaking spot! 🌊 The Manavgat River meets the Mediterranean Sea in a stunning display, complete with a picturesque waterfall. 🌴 The contrast between fresh and saltwater is mesmerizing. Plus, the nearby parks and restaurants are a bonus. 👍 Highly recommend a visit!

Very beautiful place, with great nature! Feeling fresh and wet air, especially at 40°C weather. But there are a lot of annoying people, who wants to scam tourists, so be careful and don't sleep!

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

Incredible scenery, you can almost see forever. Weather is cool, calm and comfortable today. Worth the money!

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.

Very beautiful place, really nice view from the top of the mountain 👍👍

iIncredible and mind-blowing! The teleferik is awesome for going up and down. The view from the top is divine. Onex tur - you are on top!

4 km cable car. €32 pp. Expensive gift shop and the cafe.

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.

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.

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.

*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!

£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.

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

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

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).

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.

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.

Ziplining was amazing! For the boat trip you should really go in the morning, because of clearer waters. Very friendly staff. You should negotiate for buying the picture and videos tho. The food was very delicious.

Very, very beautiful. We came by minibus from Beldibi and walked. The views are stunning. There are cafes, toilets. I recommend everyone to go on a wonderful hike

Real nature attraction must visit. Boat trip is recommended as well. Perfectly organised. One can take a car to get up.

Hadrian's Gate or Hadrian Kapısı in Antalya is one of the most famous and well-preserved Roman structures in the city, located in the Muratpaşa district on Atatürk Street. It was built in 130 AD to commemorate the visit of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, who was known for his patronage of architecture and the arts, as well as his contributions to the history of many provinces in the Roman Empire. The structure, which is about eight meters high, consists of three arches and two colonnaded facades supported by four pylons. With the exception of eight granite columns, the gate is entirely made of white marble, and its vaults are adorned with intricate floral reliefs and rosettes, reflecting the wealth and importance of the city during that time. The gate originally had two levels, and it is believed that the upper level was occupied by statues of the emperor and his family, but only the lower level has survived to this day. On either side of the gate, there are two towers that date back to different historical periods. The southern tower, known as the Julia Sancta, was built during the Roman period, while the lower part of the northern tower is also Roman, but its upper part was rebuilt in the 13th century by the Seljuk Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I. For a long time, the gate was built into the city wall and was not used, which allowed it to remain well-preserved. In the 1950s, the walls were demolished, and in 1959, the gate itself was reconstructed. During the works, the modern pavement was removed, revealing the original Roman pavement with deep grooves from the wheels of carts. Geologically, the gate is located in a place where the stones for construction were mined in the vicinity of Antalya, which is rich in limestone and marble, formed millions of years ago at the bottom of an ancient sea, giving the structure a special geological character that connects it to the history of the Earth. It is believed that the gates carry a symbol of the transition between the past and the present, and their preservation in spite of time gives the place an aura of extraordinary power, combining the architectural skill of man, the natural grandeur of stone and the mysterious Chaos of Time. Legends are associated with this place: the belief is that if, passing under each of the three arches, you make a wish, it will necessarily come true.

Step through Hadrian’s Gate and you’re not just entering Antalya’s Old Town—you’re crossing into 130 CE, when Roman emperors still roamed and marble meant majesty. This triumphal arch, built to honor Emperor Hadrian’s visit, stands proud with its three arches, fluted columns, and a stone-paved path that whispers ancient footsteps. It’s remarkably well-preserved, with layers of history etched into every crack. Look up and you’ll see the ornate carvings; look down and you’ll walk on the original Roman road. It’s a surreal blend of old and new—surrounded by modern shops, yet untouched by time.

Hadrian’s Gate is one of the most impressive ancient structures in Antalya. The Roman architecture is stunning, especially when lit up at night — it feels like stepping back in time. The details on the arches and columns are incredibly well preserved. It’s located right at the entrance to Kaleiçi (the Old Town), so it’s a great starting point for exploring the narrow streets, cafés, and shops nearby. Definitely a must-see spot for anyone visiting Antalya!

Arrived after the sunset. Live, dynamic and touristic place. Enjoyed walking whole street and short stop at the entrance. However is not easy to find parking spot if you have private or rental car.

A truly imposing and very beautiful monument, marking the triumphal entrance to the old city. It was built in the 2nd century to celebrate the visit of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. It is impressive to see the richness of detail in the columns and arches that have survived for so long. Access is completely open to the public and free, making it an unmissable "gateway" to the Kaleiçi district.

It was definitely a place you need to spend a long time in as there's so much to look at. Historical & retail, lots of shops for clothes, bags shoes etc. Be very careful you don't get overcharged for things.

Old town is beautiful. Reminds me of a lot of European old towns. Because a lot of them were under Ottoman empire back in the days. Recommending to visit morning or evening because of the afternoon heat. 😁

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. The aubergine was sensational Everything was well seasoned and cooked nicely. The restaurant is also very clean and in a great location in the Old Town

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. What made it even more special was that the owner kindly offered us tea and coffee at the end, free of charge – a lovely gesture of hospitality. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and I will definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

Good restaurant, good service. Went with my wife loved the food, the hosts are really friendly, welcoming. Suggest to have indoor seating as well as there is place inside too, which is unused. The heat can be difficult to have a nice meal.

The adana and urfa kebabs are nice, the soups/lahmacun are good too. I had no issues but based on other peoples experiences check the prices I suppose Portions are a bit small for what you pay but I feel that's the case for most places in old town No free tea for me tho... Anyways my main issue was the shop guy opposite, must have smoked a whole forest as I was trying to enjoy my food

Fantastic restaurant! Had the best meal, service was outstanding. Would definitely recommend visiting, we were made to feel like family.

By far the BEST restaurant I’ve visited in Kaleiçi. Every dish is delicious, my personal favorite being the Beyti Kebab with yogurt. The Adana is amazing. The host is very genuine and uplifting, he’s got great energy and a great crew. You will feel very welcomed and you will enjoy your food 100%

We were expecting a quiet and empty park from what we saw on google maps photos but it was very crowded and loud. Very nice place though with beautiful streams, falls and gorgeous trees. Ideal for family picnic as well with ducks, turkeys strolling around. Also cheap 75TL per person. Not so perfect for those seeking silence and pure nature

I had high hopes for Kurşunlu, but left a bit underwhelmed. The waterfall itself is smaller than expected, and the pond below was murky—not quite the turquoise dream you see in photos. What really took away from the experience was a professional photoshoot monopolizing the best photo spot by the water. It felt more staged than serene. The surrounding greenery is still lovely, and the park has potential, but it could use better maintenance and more mindful visitor management. A decent stop if you're nearby, but not a must-see in Antalya.

Its a really nice place to get a little break from the crowded city. Having a picnic, or just walk around a little. You can eat here a good gözleme or other types of small food. There is a coffeeshop in the woods with an amazing terrace. Worth to visit.

A very beautiful spot, especially if you appreciate natural scenery and waterfalls. The area isn't very large, but it's definitely worth a visit for the peaceful atmosphere and picturesque views. If you're in the area and enjoy nature, this place shouldn't be missed.

A very good place to visit, the people there are very helpful. Good thing that we came early in the morning so it's less crowded. The only downside is the transpo. If you are a tourist like us, it is hard to go back to where we came from due to the unpredictable sched of the minibus.

A beautiful relaxing place that is calming. The car park is free and the tickets were TL70 per adult. There are MANY stairs and paths to get lost on. There are the usual eating places.

Waterfall itself is beautiful. Walking path around is beautiful. But you know temperatures in Turkey during summer months is unbearable, so why do you allow overly overly expensive restaurants to operate on the spot? I have great experience with Turkish hospitality for many years of travelling, hence it amazes me how greedy the restaurants are on top spots. Sure, we can pay little extra for convenience not carry own sandwich and juice but these prices are something so mind-blowingly extravagant, plus waitress service is appalling. Extra star for cheap entrance to the area of 75lira. Also, on the lower tiny falls I did my good citizen bit to clean out some plastic trash.

Great place to visit. The boat riding was an amazing experience. You will see beautiful sceneries during your boat trip.

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very nice place. Beautiful views during the day and after the sunset 🤩

Beautiful, worth a visit. Many people were sunbathing and swimming from the breakwater.

Kaleici marina and old town is a beautifull and charming place. Amazing sea view where u can take a boat trip .walking into old street specially at night if such an unforgettable experience. Many restaurant and coffee with turkish music and souvenir shops . Its a must visiting this place where u are in antalya

Such a beautiful relaxing area with amazing views. Took a boat ride and the kids loved it.

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.

Interesting and very well maintained museum, not too big - you will probably not get too tired :) Too expensive though...€15 for the entrance fee without the audio guide, which costs extra (€5-7)....And no WI-FI available for visitors..

Outstanding museum, especially for statuary and sarcophagi from Perge and other nearby sites. The current price is 13 euro. The entrance is on Attaturk Cd.

This museum tells us a great deal about Ancient Anatolians, Romans and Christians in general. There are amazing items and well made sculptures. Once you're done here you can take the nostalgic tram to visit Kaleici and continue your trip there

It's interesting, the price for tourists is 15€, little high though, especially considering the size of exhibition and price for locals.. Opened every day. White peacocks and a lot of cats in the gardens outside.

Definitely one of the best archaeological museums in Turkey, Roman statues are among the best in the world!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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 🚶‍♂️💨

You can't accesssbit without a 4W vehicule or something similar. The place would be nice wouldn't it be for the garbage all around. A pity because the landscape is beautiful in this area.

It is not worth if you have to drive 2 hours there, but if you are somewhere nearby, it’s nice

The road to go to the waterfall is very bad, the damage to nature is bad, everywhere is rubbish, but the waterfall is a wonder of nature

Great safari trip. Was a bit cold during April, so couldnt swim. However the scenery wad amazing. Takes a long drive to get to the waterfall, but work a jeep going off road is a lot off fun.

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.

Usual ski resort 🤷🏼‍♂️ Nothing impressive. But it's possible to ski

Closest ski resort in Antalya

Great

Nice

Wonderfull

(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

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.

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.

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.

The cave is small, nothing but smell. Ticket for foreigner is 5 euros.

The must see place! The cave is amazing! You can go there by bus number 506 and from the last stop walk 1.6 km. 480 steps up are not so scary, it's quite easy to go up) Visit this cave, it's worthy.

Beautiful views from the top and the stairs, but have some stretching before going up the stairs. If my mum did it, you can do it too.. There is a small musalla for prayer there, with an ablution place inside. Just behind the souvenir shop The cave is interesting and cool. Entrance and car park including fee: 12,5TL

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.

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.

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.

Don’t visit the site, if you have an army like Alexander the Great did. He returned and went away from this eagle cradle. Otherwise with peacefull concerns Termessos calls you for a great experience in both, in history and in nature!

Must visit. But be prepared and take some water and snacks. Make sure to read about the place before you go as there is little to no info anywhere on the site.

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!

Uphill hike of about an hour and a half when done slowly. We had a 5 years old child (mostly carried by the father) and its 60 years old grandmother along. So went up slowly but anyone can manage it.

We drove from Antalya to Salda Lake, and the drive was smooth and easy, with clear roads. The lake itself is visible from a distance, but the main tourist area is a bit further inside. Positives: •Great for Photography: The lake offers stunning views that are perfect for photography enthusiasts. •Fresh Air: The surroundings are refreshing, providing a great escape into nature. •Beautiful Views: The lake’s unique turquoise waters make for an amazing sight. Improvement: •Cleanliness of Shoreline: While the lake is beautiful overall, the shore could be cleaner. Extra Note: Be cautious of honey bees in the area. One seemed especially interested in my wife, leaving her with a memorable sting! A picturesque spot with minor drawbacks, Salda Lake is worth visiting for nature lovers and photographers.

I thought it was underwhelming but my wife thought it was great. It was on the way to Pamukkale from Sagalassos so worth a short detour. We just waded in, but some people were swimming. I can't say I noticed any special healing powers ;)

Beautiful tranquil lake. Not crowded when I visited in an October afternoon.

We were pretty hyped about coming here after reading it. The lake is a unique experience, but was not exactly what we thought. We went to a campground on the NW side of the lake and there was a sign saying "Prohibited entry to lake" with no exploration as to why. We didn't know if it was due to no lifeguard or because of something harmful in the water. We continued to drive around to the east side where there is a restaurant. We ate there (better food than expected) and they said we could get in the lake, which the kids did. All in all it's a neat experience, but we didn't see anything around the lake that actually talked about the significance of it. And there wasn't a single dock; we didn't see any boats, canoes, etc.

What an amazing nature and beauty about this place which is unbelievable, lake is super huge and we went from one corner to another even the village is so beautiful while going to Salda Lake. A must place to visit and also there restaurants and coffee shops around some key spots with restroom facilities.

Beautiful white sand beach lake in the middle of unexpected.... absolutely loved it

Salda Lake, often dubbed the "Turkish Maldives," is a breathtaking natural wonder with its striking turquoise waters and white sandy shores. The lake's unique beauty is a testament to the delicate balance of nature, created by the rare hydromagnesite minerals that form its shores. While its serene atmosphere and picturesque landscape make it a must-visit destination, it's crucial that we approach this fragile ecosystem with care. With increasing tourism, the need for responsible travel and strong conservation efforts is more important than ever to preserve this pristine paradise for future generations. Inst: @uyuyangezgin

Price to enter is 50TL per person. Interesting to look around, and friendly people working there. Fantastic views

Very beautiful cave, full of surprises fir people with good imagination.

Sweeeeeet caaaaaaave fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind 🔎🛵💨🔥🇹🇷 I was riding out in the middle of nowhere on my way to the next location marked on my map when all of a sudden I noticed out of the corner of my eye a very small sign with the Turkish word for cave... Magarasi 🤩🤩🤩 This cave was not marked on Google Maps (Until now... Added courtesy of yours truly 😉) and was not very far out of my way...... Sooooo of course I had to go up the mountainside to check out what the real story was! This place was totally bananas! I'm absolutely elated that I made the decided to make it up here to check this place out because it had some of my favorite cave things! Fossilized and non fossilized bone remnants from bison, jackals, and even ancient mammoths! 🤯🤯🤯 I love when caves are lit up with different color high intensity lights because you can really see the differentiation in these stalactites and stalagmites. Without these colored LED lights this cave would have still been very beautiful but since it is a dead cave it really does not have very much color to it. Honestly this was a really fantastic treat 👨‍🎨🎨⛰️👌 When I pulled up to this cave there was a group of about seven kids who were high school aged (or younger) and apparently in charge of running the place... Not one word of English was spoken but they were very friendly and quite curious about my motorcycle and where I was coming from I'm the United States. They charged me the 5 Lira entrance fee and proceeded to give me the full nickel tour in Turkish 😂🤣😂 You never know what you're in for when you're on the adventuuuure 🛵💨🔥🔥🔥 I'm so hAaAaAaAappy I kept my eyes peeled and found this little cavern out in the middle of nowhere by sheer luck... Or was it coincidence? You decided 🍀🌠🤞

It was very nice cave.

Water dripping from stalactites is worth seeing, entrance 15tl, sufficent parking lot,

This cave exists, all you need to know. It is not big, but with a soul. On the way to and around the cave - a magnificent view worth visiting for.

Very Interesting Karstic Cave, overlooking the Acipayam Plain

Marvellous natural formation. It is the second Pamukkale but in the cave. The road is terrible, it is not part of museum card. The stairs are under water so be prepared.

This is a cool cave to explore! Not very large but very interesting. We took our shoes off to walk because the path is flooded. Next to the cave is a public park with playground, picnic area and a lovely swimming pool with fresh water flowing through it. And clean toilet too!

Cool place to visit if you are driving near by. It is like mini Pamukkale under the ground. It is worth going in with swimming shoes or beach shoes as the cave ground is full of water. There is a big parking lot and the parking is included to the price. The site itself is small, it doesn’t take long to see the cave. There is a pool outdoors where you can swim. It was filled with kids mainly. There are changing rooms and showers that are free of charge. There are no sun beds by the pool therefore not comfortable to stay longer by the pool. In one of the water sources there are lots of many turtles 🐢

The cave is said to be more than 2.5 million years old, 190 meters long, and 14 meters deep. It is indeed a geological wonder and is definitely worth visiting if published photos are of interest to you. However, in this review, I will not focus on the technical aspects of the cave since these can be found on the internet. I will rather focus on points that the visitor needs to know before he comes, so please take consideration of the bullets below. 1. The cave is about a 45-minute drive from Pamukkale by car and is not close to any other tourist attraction site. You pay at the entrance (not sure if the Müze Kart option is admissible here) and they let you take your car inside where a decent parking lot is available. It can accommodate buses too. 2. When I went in May 2025, toilets were still unfinished (under construction), so I expect they will be ready in a couple of months. Until then, toilets in petrol stations on your way are a must if you’re “in distress”. 3. As soon as you park and get out of your car, you start to smell a bad odor, very much similar to that of rotten eggs or sewers. I first thought that the odor is coming from a nearby open sewage manhole but, instead of decreasing as I moved towards the cave entrance, it increased. It turned out that the smell is emitted from the cave and (as I discovered later) it is due to the Sulphur-based chemical composition of the water inside. The severity of the smell is not to be underestimated. To me, it was striking and made me cut my visit short. If you have breathing problems or are an odor-sensitive person, don’t come. Note that the vapors inside the cave do not represent a hazard to a healthy person. Just repelling. 4. The wooden/concrete stairs running into the depth of the cave are slippery and the water runs over them with abundance. The water and the slipping risk necessitate wearing suitable shoes before coming: waterproof up to the ankle and slip resistant. Some people in other reviews recommended wearing flip-flops but I’m strongly against that. Flip-flops are extremely slippery. 5. If you suffer from knee issues you might face difficulties. Though handrails are available, the height & span of the stair treads are irregular. 6. There are bats in the cave, a lot of bats, but seemingly harmless. Hope my review was helpful. Enjoy your visit.

Small compared to some famous cave systems. But the travertine is lively. It was very cheap to get in and we had it almost to ourselves. Definitely worth a visit

Amazing cave. The size is small, it takes maximum 5 mins to walk around + photos 10 min. In summer time they have a pool with thermal water, in winter the pool is empty. On the territory there are a toilet and a small shop where you can buy sweets and drinks.

The cave itself is beautiful! It costs 60 lira per person. But the surroundings look abandoned and poorly maintained

I loved the warm water mixed with the cold water, however I thought that the rocks were slippery and pointy. I recommend wearing socks while walking on the hot spring.

Expensive for foreigners but nearly free for locals, which is fair i think. Still totally worth it. Great day out.

Apparently, €30 isn’t enough for just two pools and an amphitheater. They’ll sneak in an extra €10 charge for some cheap, ugly earphones, presented as if they’re doing you a favor, without even telling you you’ve already been billed... How evil is that? (If this happens to you, don’t let it slide. Insist on a refund, they’ll give it back if you push.) Also the place looks beautiful only in the pictures, totally not worth it.

Beautiful natural park (without entrance fee) near the travertines of Pamukkale. It's a nice place to relax and watch the sunset.

this is a park at the foot of the travertines. In the park there is a small pond where ducks swim, and there is also a cafe where you can drink coffee. excellent view of the travertines from below. you can walk around the park, as well as ride catamarans for 40 lire.

One of the best places in Turkey! Although not as famous as other destinations, its surely as stunning as the rest, if not more! The park itself is breathtaking. Unlike anything I've ever seen. Its taken really good care of. You have to take of your shoes and socks and walk barefoot up the 'cotton' mountain. But be aware, its not really cotton check the photos im uploading. The floor is very rough and at some points painful to step on, but thats the beauty of the place. Its so Natural and untouched. The water is remarkable as well. I went in early November and the weather was perfect. Many paragliding companies offer trip over the beautiful city to enhance the experience as well. Would highly recommend paragliding over the city. Also great ruins behind the mountain to see.

It’s not a huge park but tiny, quiet and good to take a walk around the pond. There’s one island in the middle of the pond, many geese take a rest there. Rent a duck boat is 6TL for 10mins. It was nice! 👍🏼🦆

The Hierapolis Ancient Theater is truly impressive — one of the main highlights when visiting Pamukkale. It’s amazingly well-preserved and gives you a glimpse into how massive and grand the performances must have been back in ancient times. Built during the Roman period, it could seat thousands of people and was used for plays, music, and even gladiator shows. Most visitors online call it a must-see, and I’d agree. I came here as part of a tour group, so I didn’t take any local guide, but the tour provided enough info to appreciate the site. You can take a buggy to the top for around USD 50, but honestly, it’s not worth it — walking is much better and gives you time to enjoy the scenery. But if you cant walk then you'll need to take it then. There’s a WC available nearby, but the ladies’ WC tends to get crowded. Around the Cotton Castle area, there are a few shops and cafés, but prices are on the higher side. It gets quite hot here, so bring sunscreen, a hat, and some water. Overall, it’s a great experience and definitely worth the walk!

Hierapolis is an absolutely phenomenal historical site that truly stands out! Its uniqueness lies in the seamless blend of ancient Roman ruins with the breathtaking natural wonder of Pamukkale's white travertines. Walking through the vast necropolis, the incredibly well-preserved theater, and the ancient baths, you can almost hear the echoes of past civilizations. The atmosphere is profoundly serene and awe-inspiring, especially as the sun casts long shadows over the ruins. And the views? Simply unforgettable! The panoramic vistas of the "Cotton Castle" combined with the sprawling ancient city are a photographer's dream. A must-visit for any history or nature enthusiast!

The Hierapolis Ancient Theatre is one of the most stunning and well-preserved Roman theatres in Turkey. Sitting high above Pamukkale, it offers not only an incredible glimpse into history but also breathtaking views of the travertine terraces and valley below. The scale of the theatre is impressive, with seating for thousands, and the decorative details on the stage area are still visible despite centuries of wear. Walking through the steps and standing at the top gives you a true sense of how grand performances must have felt here. Be prepared for a bit of a climb from the main site—it’s uphill, but absolutely worth it once you see the theatre in full. I recommend visiting early in the morning or later in the evening when the crowds thin out. If you’re already visiting Pamukkale, don’t miss this highlight—it’s the crown jewel of Hierapolis and a must-see for history lovers and photographers alike.

The ancient theater of Hierapolis in Pamukkale impresses with its scale and state of preservation: the steps and stage are well preserved, and the acoustics are truly outstanding—even a quiet voice can be heard throughout the amphitheater. The upper tiers offer excellent views of the ruins and the valley. I recommend visiting early in the morning or at sunset to avoid the heat and capture the soft light for photos. Be sure to bring water and comfortable shoes, as the stone steps are slippery. A must-see for history buffs: the combination of architecture and setting makes this place unforgettable.

The Hierapolis Ancient Theatre, built in the 2nd century AD, is a grand Roman structure seating over 12,000 people. It features beautifully preserved carvings and stunning views over Pamukkale’s white terraces.

This is an ancient Greek theatre. The theatre is well preserved. It is large and built of stones. You can walk on the stairs and enjoy the view. A guide is recommended to understand about this place. A must visit spot in Hierapolis.

Stage area reconstruction is impressive and the overall steepness of the seating area is cool. Definitely worth the walk.

Cleopatra pool is under renovation and the fence around it doesn’t let you even see inside. Also, the travertine pools are nearly all drained. There are 3 hidden ones you can wade in but don’t expect much for pictures. That being said the ruins are quite impressive and the museum is well done.

Just a few steps from the travertine terraces, this peaceful park is full of ancient ruins, shady trees, and calm paths to wander. It’s a great place to rest after soaking in the thermal waters and feel the layers of history all around you. ➕ Scattered Roman ruins and old stonework Quiet, green space away from the crowds Beautiful photo spots and benches to relax ➖ Not much signage or information ❤️: Worth a stroll if you’re already in Pamukkale — history and nature in one calm corner.

Well worth the visit and remember to bring swimming clothes. The water is warm around 28°C and I would set aside about 1 to 2 hours. They also have the food court in the same vicinity so grabbing a bite to eat and getting something to drink is a recommendation. The earlier you arrive the better and avoiding the late morning to afternoon rush is the way to go.

One of the must visit places to experience if you go to Hierapolis...this Antique pool is known to have Thermal water with minerals which is good for your body...Honestly it is an experience worth to have.. The pool is so relaxing with warm water but be careful of the big rocks inside the pool, when you swim or walk inside the pool. The water is not very deep and you can relaxing by sitting on the big rocks. Cafe, Toilets, Lockers, shower and changing places are available by the pool. Overall very good experience.

Visited Pamukkale 5th March 25. Really disappointed S & S travel by the Orange Bazzar Lara Beach didn't tell us that the Cleopatra pool had been closed since January 25. Also there are only 3 little water filled pools on the travetines as the images you see online are either very old photo shopped as the area now looks nothing like any photos. I will say however the Hierapolis are as shown online images and pretty impressive. The tour guide lifted up a wooden pallet that had been placed over part of an open aqueduct, this was the only bit of water that you could touch that was warm. The water in the 3 pools on the travetines was just above the ankles and was probably from the recent down pour of rain it was freezing cold. If you like ancient Roman ruins its worth going. If you want to see beautiful filled travetine pools don't bother they no longer exist

The pools are closed and dry of water, the lady in the entrance she will till you 30 euro, and once u try to pay with card she will add 10 euro without telling you. So basically scamming you. Luckily for me I checked before tapping my card. It’s just some old stones that they call it history.

The pool is closed while a new structure is built around it. The guards told us that the pool would re-open in October 2025.

We were attending this attraction on Saturday, 11 o'clock. It took us 3.5 hours to get there from Fethiye so we couldn't make it earlier and we were ready to see many people inside , even though it wasn't high season anymore. You make a big circle on the car to get to the official parking lot, pay 120 tl for parking and then get through the gates. In October 2025 1 ticket costs 30 Euro and you pay in liras. Then you start your journey using a golf car or walking The territory is huge. At first, you walk through the ancient city and it takes you around 20 minutes to get to the travertines. There are not many people around, they are all chilling at the pools. There's a beautiful garden and mountains around your way, many benches and tables for the picnic which is really nice. You can also visit the museum and the ancient theatre. The travertines are very beautiful in the sunlight. Not all of them are filled with water but you can still take great pictures Some people get deep down so they are alone in the bigger area, all of the tourists are concentrated on top of the pools. You need to take of the shoes to get there, the stones can be slippery but the water is pretty warm. The views around are breathtaking! You can also enjoy your time at the cafes right next to the travertines and get some snacks. So I'd say it was worth visiting once in the life time (in the sunny weather and preferably earlier on the weekday) however the entrance fee is very high and I'm not sure it's equivalent to the experience you get

Pamukkale is impressive from the first step. The snow-white terraces and azure pools look almost unreal, like a natural chalk castle. Hiking trails allow you to get close to the cascades; the water is warm and pleasantly tickles your feet. There are many tourists, so peaceful photos are rare-arrive early in the morning or late in the evening. There's an entrance fee, and some terraces are closed for conservation, but the overall view is breathtaking. Nearby Hierapolis boasts a well-preserved Roman amphitheater it's worth a visit. Bring comfortable shoes, a swimsuit, and water; don't leave litter and respect the securit rules. I highly recommend it it's one of those places that's easier to experience than to describe.

It is an amazing natural formation by accumulating minerals from the flowing hot spring water. There is a dedicated section where tourists can experience travertine and hot spring water under their feet. It is required to enter the travertine area without shoes and socks. There is a self serve cafeteria. There are always a huge number of tourists visiting it. Considering that there is an entry fee, the authority could increase the number of WC facilities.

A magical place for me! The real experience of walking barefoot (like most) or with some bathing shoes in this white marvel is bar none. Even though there is a lot of water, I found the surfaces to be not slippery at all. You can spend a few hours just running around the hill. Enterprise of €30 is a bit steep.

We entered through the South Gate, which is the closest entrance to the travertines. If you’re visiting with children, elderly people, or anyone with walking difficulties, it’s better to take a buggy car — tickets for it are available right after the ticket check. The amphitheatre is a bit uphill, but worth the short climb. Many of the travertine pools had water during our visit, and all the main attractions — the travertines, ancient amphitheatre, Cleopatra Pool, and other monuments — are located within the same area. Unfortunately, the Cleopatra Pool was closed for renovation when we visited. Please note that the entry gate opens only at 8 a.m. We arrived at 6:30 a.m. but were told that even the parking area gates would open only at 8 a.m. We still got to enjoy watching the hot air balloons take off around 6:30 a.m. from outside the gate, which was a beautiful experience.

Very beautiful place. Very interesting. It is better to come with short clothes or a swimsuit. It's just a shame that it's so expensive for tourists. For tourists 30 euros and for Turks 4 euros. At the checkout they are trying to sell headphones For 10 euros. That they don't need them at all.

It’s definitely an attraction worth visiting, but I don’t feel the €30 entrance fee is justified. The place is rich in history and the audio guide shares fascinating stories from the past, making it a wonderful site to learn from. Still, the price feels a bit too high. I hope the government could consider lowering the entrance fee or at least offering discounted rates for groups. The colors give the impression of being painted, and uncovering the history behind them makes the experience truly engaging.

Great day out, very pretty and amazing sight. The salt was a bit hard on your feet at times as you can't wear shoes until you get to the top. It was nice to paddle in the pools.

We enjoyed ourselves and it was very informative. The ruins are cool especially the reconstructions but also just lots of columns and carving laying about. The museum was also very good. It was hot but there are numerous fountains and shady benches and picnic tables, cafe prices are relatively reasonable considering.

Beautiful site, but frustrating experience Hierapolis is stunning, with incredible ancient ruins and breathtaking views. However, the visitor experience could be much better. They charge $10 for Bluetooth headphones, but you can’t even use them during the tour, which feels misleading. While the history and scenery are worth seeing, the management of tours and extra charges leaves a lot to be desired.

If you love going back in time to see how the ancient people lived, then this is a must see place. The amphitheater is mind blowing and breathe taking. This was a city that had Roman influence and the artifacts and carving were mind boggling.

Completely bad ass. Mega old city up on a hill. The tomb of Philip the Apostle, BTW it's empty. Calcium pools at sunrise, i cut my foot in there. Balloons at sunrise...way cool. Oh and the Gates of Hell. You can't go in there because, yep, you'll die. WOO HOO!!!

It's a quiet good place but to much people and looks kinda artificial. Not enough water and it could be very hot in a sunny day. And in the entrance they try to scam you. They'll give you 30 euro tickets then will charge like 40 euros and won't even ask if you wanna pay or not I just realized it because I was paying for few people and the money it deducted was like insane then I asked them why have I been charged extra they said that they gave me a headphone that I never asked for then somehow I managed to return the head phone and get refunded but I bet 90% of people who are paying by a card won't even notice

Nice place to see some history, be prepared to walk and get lots of sun. Has some cafes for food and drink Be aware that if you want to walk down you need to go barefoot. Otherwise you're taking one of the roads back down (long way). There is parking even outside the lot along the road and some other places for free.

Another must-see archeological site. İt is about a 3hrs drive from Izmir. What impressed me the most was the 170mt pool, it is unrestored now but I hope it will be one day. One remark: the museum building is closed to visitors.

One of the most fascinating places I have ever been to. Absolutely stunning peace's with very well preserved parts. I loved the masks wall and also the pool at the main square. Don't miss the Theatre. Less expensive (€12) and much less crowded than Ephesus

Enchanting archeological site. Some buildings are in incredible good state and the visit is very enjoyable as there aren’t crowds of tourists.

The archeological site is fantastic, interesting and beautiful. You can easily spend there 2 hours. Take some water and a hat, as it can be very hot on the sun. However, the Museum is currently closed...and this was very dissapointing.

It is one of the best places I have ever been. 100% worth it. We were alone

Absolutely beautiful, well-preserved and off the beaten path. Low crowds mean you can walk on and around the ruins. Come early and explore in near silence and solitude.

We had limited time and we were not sure if we should include this in our itinerary, but we did and we were delighted. Way less crowded than Ephesus, and from my point of view experientially deeper and easier to immerse into the history of the place without the tour busses. Though smaller than Ephesus, the 170 m long swimming pool must have been a treat, and Aphrodisias had plenty of water the gardens were reportedly magnificent. Definitely a City I may have wanted to live in back in the day…
