Holy Monastery of the Taxiarch Michael Panormitis

Mentioned on

Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
The Holy Monastery of the Taxiarch Michael Panormitis is a stunning and historic site dedicated to Archangel Michael. Rebuilt in 1783, this monastery features elaborate frescoes and intricate woodwork that leave visitors in awe. Accessible by ferry from Rhodes harbor, a visit to the monastery includes a stop at Symi Island where you can explore the town and enjoy breathtaking views.
Nice and peaceful monastery but if you're missing it or won't be able to visit - you're not missing all that much. There is almost nothing else here. If you have more time on Symi town, you can get a bus, it's 30 minutes away, but not sure how worth unless you're a believer and want to pay respects to the holy icon. There is a small and interesting museum in the back, entrance fee was 1.5 euro. I was impressed by the candle lights behind the church also. Not as touristy as you'd expect given the amount of people entering the place. There is usually a line for buying candles, not for entering the church. 3-40 minutes for everything.
Marin K — Google review
The chapel or monastery was cool. There were two small museums that together cost 1.5 euros to enter. It seemed that not many opted to enter the museums when we were there. The museums were a bit underwhelming but I'm still glad to have seen it.
MB — Google review
We visited the monastery as part of a boat trip to the island. It was a short stop, but very beautiful and peaceful. An added bonus of being able to watch sea turtles made it all the more worthwhile.
KM D — Google review
A must see if you're traveling to Symi. Easy to reach in every vehicle(seen a lot of bikers on the way)via a very good asphalted road that offers you the opportunity to take some pitoresque photos.
Paul N — Google review
Sacred monastery where we celebrated a millstone birthday for my father in law. Sure, it was 100 degrees that day and we were staying on the other side of the island, but we made the pilgrimage to give thanks and again acknowledge that everything we have is gifted from and for the glory of God! Παναγιά μαζί μας!

Good bus trip from Symi port,book through Dodekanisos ferry from Rhodes town. 20 minutes each way and you have 1hr to visit which was enough to walk around and have a drink the cafe next door.
Tim E — Google review
Very quiet area, church looks simple on the outside but deceptive, it’s incredible inside, the most detailed church I’ve seen in Greece, literally everything was detailed, little cafe available nearby and a bakery where they make delicious goods. This was included on a symi island tour and I thought it was worth it

AKBÜK KOYU

Campground
Outdoor Activities
Beaches
Akbük is a beautiful beach with wonderful views and definitely gorgeous sea and mountain. You can swim in every shade of green and blue in a few strokes. Very kid friendly, Nice restaurants and cafes for food and drinks. Heated showers is a big winner.People camp there too which cost 15 usd-50 usd for tend and it will be cheaper if we have our own tend.since its a seasonal operating place during summer june-sep I think the things are little expensive so its better to buy the stuffs before going there . mini bus available from mugla bus station and akyaka which cost around 3 - 5 usd suggested to have a day trip to enjoy the serenity of beach .
Binoy M — Google review
I had a good experience in akbük but i heard that it used to be more relaxing and beautiful over there but now its too crowded and not that good if you just want to chill out. There's a beautiful forest there too but the fire department won't let you camp there unfortunately. And if you want to camp you either should find a place before actually getting to akbük or you have to camp in the campsites which are too crowded and in my opinion awful ! And overpriced
Sara H — Google review
From Akyaka it is almost 50 min distancr by car, a challenging Road but a hidden town by the sea and Mountain. Clean sea and perfect nature
Gevher G — Google review
Great bay with clean water and amazin nature. Having a camping site is a plus!
Gokmen U — Google review
The water is amazing and worth a visit. There are a few small open air places that will serve you food and drinks. Paid 10try to park but worth every penny to swim in these waters. The beach is small but they sell chairs and umbrellas if needed but you dont come here to sit on the beach. I wish i had diving equipment with me.
Deertick — Google review
Be ready for very loud music for the whole day until 12, especially well heared if you are on a yacht. Worst mooring experience in Turkey so far
Artem B — Google review
One of the perfect place to have rest and swim. Still not commercial and “touristic”. Some sea side hotels and restaurants are occupying the beach but still it’s kind of “vlrgin” place for holiday.

Inside, the atmosphere is lively and well-organized, with a good variety of table games and slot machines to suit every taste. The staff is professional, friendly, and always ready to help, making both newcomers and regulars feel welcome. Whether you’re there to play, enjoy a drink, or just take in the unique ambiance, Rhodes Casino offers a fun and memorable night out.

Been twice. Once at 12 am couldn’t get a seat at black jack table which wasn’t great. 2nd time went at 6pm plenty of seats, dealers are good but no comp alcoholic drinks ( hot drinks free). Outdoor bar is lovely and bar staff very friendly
Louie C — Google review
Very nice casino, lively atmosphere, some drinks are not free but not very expensive. The lottery is fun
Haifa M — Google review
Entrance and registration is welcoming. Not a huge place but there are plenty of slot machines (some are newer but many of them are rather old games). Given card is only for identification, you need to insert cash to the machines and need to cash out (to a printed receipt) when you want to play on an another machine. We played with a small amount just for fun and did not have a bad experience. As a non-smoker, I appreciate the non-smoking rule personally. Only simple drinks are free but the alcohol drinks and food are to be paid. These might not suit the likes of regulars of casinos in Cyprus or some other places. I cannot comment about the loss or win chance about certain games. Of course house always wins at the end 😅
Murat Y — Google review
Contrary to other reviews and maybe changes have been implemented but it does not smell of smoke, in fact we never saw anyone smoking. The staff are very pleasant and courteous. We had complimentary coffee and soft drinks served to us. Toilets are clean and there is an abundance of hand gel everywhere. Masks are required even when sitting. If you have never been before you'll need to become a member so take your passport with you or photo id. Entry is free. Benefits also mean with your membership card will can use the free carpark. Table games are upstairs but minimums are high. Downstairs there is lots of slots and start at 1 cent. We enjoyed our visits and apart from it looking a little tired in places our experience was good.
Gary L — Google review
Mostly clientele from north-west Europe and in places like this tone is set for the games based on clients. The place is set in a very nice historical building, we also stayed in hotel which is very nice and more professionally managed compared to other places. Varities of games and facilities of course as not competitive as Cyprus but separated on physical games and slots distinction. Very possible to win with just and lawful games, so a bit makes sense why coctail drinks are not free. Overall nice experince to spend some time and bucks with friends / family. The staff was nice and responsive, had no issue - we had thorough and welcoming explanations at every step. Totally recommend to spend some time. The payout and cash-in is based on a personal card (which you can use if you visit Rhodes later time again) which might be frustrating at first but helps you manage your cash. (P.s. Turkish ID card is very much valid to make first time membership and explained in detail from the start, don't mind the other comments)

This 5-star hotel is in the seaside town of Rhodes and features a rooftop terrace with a pool and bar, as well as Italian dining. It also has a front desk, room service and currency exchange. There is also a seasonal outdoor swimming pool and bar, as well as shared lounge.
What a lovely hotel, first and most important is the amazing service. Everyone is so kind and helpful, one cannot ask for better. The rooms are comfortable and well looked after. The location is perfect, only thing is it can be a bit noisy at night from the club across the road but after the first night it didnt bother us. Thanks so much for being such great hosts!
Rena A — Google review
Great new and super clean hotel, the staff is fantastic and welcoming and everyone that works the breakfast shift are just so welcoming. Only downside is that at times if your room is facing the front of the hotel the beach bar/club is noisy. They tend to shut down the music at 1 am onwards so choose different rooms if you want a more quiet experience.
Jason T — Google review
More Meni City Beach Rhodes is a fine hotel. Our first and second choice hotels along this stretch of the east side of Elli Beach were fully booked for middle of September 2025. The location is great; comfortable walking distance to the old town; and the stretch of the sea in front of it appears a lot more protected than other parts which was choppy. The sea water was calm and clear with many small fishes which make for a pleasant swim. The room rate was much higher than what we expected. The staff were friendly and helpful. The loud music at night did not bother us too much as the room assigned to us did not face the beach club and bar. Date of Posting : 25 Sep 2025

Great experience as it was our first time in Rhodes and will keep this place in mind if we every return. The staff were fantastic especially Elenor (apologies if incorrect spelling). She went above and beyond for us whether it was giving us tips for local bars and restaurants, best breakfast items and asking if we needed anything. Its the little things like this to made our stay more special so thank you. They had a great rooftop bar are that had a great view of the Sea. I was surprised this bar wasn't utilised much by the other guests as there's not.many rooftop bars in Rhodea town with that view Overall, we would recommend the hotel and glad we choose here. Thank you to all the staff at CC
Fraser G — Google review
The hotel was fantastic, within walking distance to the beaches, bars, restaurants, and the Old City. We loved the food and drinks at the hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly, especially Despina and Spiros, whom we thank greatly. We will definitely choose this hotel for our next visit.
Serhan A — Google review
I was a little concerned that this would be a noisy hotel being based near the beach clubs. So I requested a quiet room which was at the back of the hotel and this was fine... I hardly noticed the beach clubs and had a very peaceful sleep. TBH this is rhodes so evenings are always full of entertainment and I've stayed in noisier "quiet" retreats. Rooms have great furnishing, loads of space and the air con is perfect. I thought they were fantastic and very clean. Breakfast is a la carte and cooked very well. A special mention about all of the staff. I dont think I've stayed in a friendlier hotel with every staff member being happy to help or say hello. It wasn't a case of asking for breakfast items.... more a case of declining as I was so full! All at breakfast were great! The roof top bar is great for some views and an evening drink. It's a city hotel so the pool is really a cool down pool rather than something you can swim in but you can chill out around it. So the bonus of being near the beach bars is.... you're near the beach bars! And it's located in a great spot for exploring the old and new town too. There are so many restaurants in a short stroll that we only ate once in the old town. Our 6 night stay flew by. Thanks for a great stay
Will T — Google review
This is absolutely my favorite hotel in the WORLD! The staff is outstanding! The rooms themselves are very spacious and the particular room we stayed in had a double sink and a very beautiful shower/bathroom area. Accommodations: - Delicious breakfast made to order every morning that includes almost anything and everything you could think of! Pancakes, Omelettes, Oatmeal, Yogurt, eggs, bacon, etc! - Outstanding rooftop pool and bar area that overlooks the beaches of Rhodes - You can order drinks and food at the rooftop pool or sit and lounge by the bar area - The most accommodating, helpful, and kind hotel staff I've ever met - They include a mini shaving cream, razor, q tips, and other small travel necessities you may need in your hotel room - They also have a paid laundry service where they send out your laundry and you get it within (roughly) two days (we did this and it was so nice to have clean + fresh clothes on vacation - def worth the money!)
Melissa C — Google review
First the positive: The hotel is modern and furnished with love. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. Breakfast is a la carte and freshly prepared. There is a fixed selection of sweet and savory dishes and every day an additional choice. The rooftop terrace won us over the most, in September there was not so much going on so we had this to ourselves on some days. However, the pool is very low (90cm), if that bothers anyone, for us it was fine. You can park for free in front of the hotel, we always found a parking space. The location is very central and you can be in Rhodes town in a few minutes walk. The hotel is located in the second row on Elli beach. This is a bit confusing, because the pictures that some providers show on the Internet convey a direct beach location. However, this is a beach bar that does not belong to the hotel. The sun beds also belong to this beach bar and are relatively expensive (20-30 euros). The hotel itself therefore has no direct view of the beach and also no beach chairs. Another point is the already often mentioned beach bar across the street, which sometimes has loud music on until 3 o'clock in the morning. We had initially also thought that some vacationers exaggerate here, but we were convinced of the opposite. Who is really looking for peace and quiet, is definitely wrong here. The view of the tennis court is also not very nice. On the whole, we enjoyed our stay very much, but felt that the price paid was clearly too high for the hotel category.

Icmeler Beach is a beautiful public beach with stunning views of rocky hills covered in pine forests. While the water is clean, there have been some reports of litter on the beach. However, amenities such as changing cabins and showers are available. It's a quieter alternative to Marmaris Beach, offering a better view and fewer boats. Visitors can rent sun loungers and umbrellas for a fee and enjoy various water sports in the crystal-clear sea.
Really beautiful sandy beach. We were there mid November so it was really quiet with most of the beach bars and hotels shut. The place we stopped at for lunch on the beach was closing the next day so had a really limited menu, but it was a lovely beach.
Bonnie C — Google review
Most people friendly and salt of the earth. Couldn’t do enough for you. Any time of the day or night, there would be shops open. Some phenomenal evenings, breakfasts and lunches at The Majestic by the beautiful flower lined and walkbridge connected Canal. Surprisingly though, prices were similar to Sydney, Aus. prices or a little cheaper. It wasn’t as cheap as I had expected for such a small town. Overall, my experience in Içmeler was fondly memorable! Worth the trip.
Evgenia A — Google review
A nice beach in the centre of icmeler. It was empty in October so Marmaris is better if you want a more lively atmosphere, however if you want some peace and quiet this is the place to go. I’d imagine it’s quite different in the middle of the summer!

Marmaris Public Beach, located in the heart of Marmaris, offers a beautiful setting with views of lush green hills and the sea. The beach provides essential amenities such as toilets, showers, and changing cabins. While the sand is mostly dry clay and not fine white sand, visitors can still enjoy the serene atmosphere and watch giant cruise ships passing by. The beach also boasts excellent facilities including showers, changing areas, and toilets.
Lovely beach with warm water and plenty of sun beds. The water is more clear in the morning. You also can find plenty of companies with water sports like sky jets never pay the price they asking always negotiate. The water is not deep so is good for children. Also restaurants as one after one.

The sand is brown ,it's kind of dry clay in most of the parts, don't expect white fine sand. The sea is brown as well, if you go to the deep part it can be a little bit more clear. If you want to go snorkeling ,that's isn't the beach ,go to Turunç, Turunç is amazing. Marmaris beach facilities are spectacular, showers everywhere, places to get changed and toilets. Amazing facilities.

A sandy beach stretches on the part of the coast of Marmaris and belongs to the municipality, it is crowded most of the time in the morning and evening, there are public sanitary facilities and places for changing clothes, as well as places for bathing and washing the body after going to the sea. There is a nearby park that has children's games.

In the heart of Marmaris, Turkey, lies Youth Square, a vibrant plaza that replaced a dilapidated building. At the center of this square is the Dancing Fountain, featuring two basins that come to life with an automated light and music show at 9:00 pm and 10:00 pm during peak season. What appears as a serene fountain during the day transforms into a lively hub for music and entertainment at night.
Really loved the show. It started at 8.30pm when we were there mid November. It's located in a square by a lovely cafe all the locals seem to frequent. Definitely worth a visit.

Setur Netsel Marmaris Marina

Mentioned on 
+38 other lists 
Marina
Nature & Parks
Setur Netsel Marmaris Marina is a stunning and popular attraction in Marmaris. The marina is surrounded by picturesque mountains, offering a beautiful setting for leisurely walks along the esplanade. Colorful boats with Turkish flags line the clear blue waters, creating a charming atmosphere. The walkways are adorned with flower beds, fountains, and sculptures, while an array of bars, restaurants, and shops provide ample entertainment options.
A really beautiful marina, lovely to walk around by day (very hot of course) or by night. Lots of flashy yachts to admire and lots of restaurants and bars - more of a family vibe though rather than drunks teens which is nice. Highly recommend an evening stroll and a meal under the sky. Don't forget to stroll up to the impressive castle if you have a chance too.

Lovely for a swim but lots of stones so u will need beach shoes. No sun beds or loungers. Just bring ur Towel and sit on sand. There is a little bit with a rail that has man made hard floor under sea to get into sea to avoid the stones

Very nice well designed place with whatever a sailor can need such as warm water, every time clean big spaced toilets with hair dryer. Good shopping area with many cafes restaurants and sailing shops, a very close super market just next to marine, close to heart of Marmaris just a few minutes walk you are in castle historic area and bar streets.
Elgin K — Google review
It used to be very nice and friendly, in the last two years prices have become unreasonable. Let me explain: first of all is very noisy at night (both from night clubs but also fron other boats partying) but the worst thing is the high speed powerboats entering or leaving the marina. So once in while unexpected waves come out of the blue caused by tenders. Additionally the behavior of certain staff + the refusal to speak English is funny when working in tourism! There is a rule in marketing called "willingness to pay", i don't mind the higher cost BUT downgrading the quality of your services is serious.
Spyros — Google review
The marina is impeccably clean and well run, the town has everything you cod need to refit your boat with. Most of the mariners speak good English and are very helpful and the technical support is also readily available. It is also a very safe and secure marina with someone attentively patroling on a tender through the night .

Azmak Nehri Restaurantları

$$$$expensive
Restaurant
Azmak Nehri Restaurantları, located in Akyaka, Mugla, Turkey, offers a unique dining experience by the Azmak River. The river itself is a natural wonder with crystal clear water and an abundance of fish and seaweed, resembling a natural aquarium. Visitors can take boat tours along the river at reasonable prices to marvel at its beauty. The area also features hotels like Elif Hanim Hotel & Spa Akyaka with Wi-Fi available throughout the property.
The water is very clean and clear so that you can see fishes through the very deep water. Boats are for 12 people and the short trip takes about half an hour. The prices of the trips varies from 11$ to 13 $ depending on routes.

The river and surrounding ambience is phenomenal. One should really need to hop on a boat and enjoy the slow ride with tremendous scenery. However, I suggest you pack your meal, even get your drinking water with you. The restaurants are below average, sometimes far from edible and truly undeservingly expensive.

Really nice, clean beach, the dolmus end is cheaper than the boat end. And the turtle hospital is in walking distance.

Very nice, spacious and clean sandy beach. Water is crystal clear and it's shallow for like 20 meters. The only downside was the parasols; they're rather small and don't have great coverage. However the beach is pretty cheap -100 TL for a couple of beds and a parasol - so it's definitely worth it.

Matthew B — Google review
This is our first trip to İztuzu Beach by car, and the journey is quite long. The breathtaking views on the drive to the beach make it worthwhile. The parking lot costs ₺200, and payment is required upon entry. They also provide changing rooms and restrooms. There is a restaurant and tanning area where you can pay ₺165 per person or ₺350 for two wooden sun loungers, or choose a free one on the sand. The beach was extremely crowded. The only thing you have to do when you go swimming in the sea, all you have to do is walk far enough until the water is deep enough. İztuzu Beach is absolutely stunning; unfortunately, we did not get to see any turtles, but we had an enjoyable time. I recommend it purely for the experience.
Inga — Google review
İztuzu Plajı is one of the most beautiful and unique beaches in Turkey. The sand is golden, the water is shallow and warm, and the scenery is amazing with mountains on one side and the river delta on the other. What makes it special is that it’s also a protected nesting area for Caretta Caretta turtles, so it feels like you’re visiting both a beach and a natural reserve. There are no big hotels or loud music, which keeps it peaceful. Best to bring your own snacks and water, and respect the turtle areas. Truly a natural paradise!
Ali T — Google review
One of my favourite in Turkey. Perfectly clean, wise, and beautiful. Dalyan in general is a magic place for a vacation. You can get there by the boat, or by the bus service. It takes around 30 minutes, both ways are enjoyable though, views etc. A lot of empty space, if you walk a little far from the sun lounges. Sandy clean beach, warm clean sea, perfect
Шампан С — Google review
I liked this beach a lot. The fee is not that much (2€ per car, no matter how many people are inside it), there are public toilets and showers (with cold, salty water) and the beach is clean. The water doesn't get deep enough for swimming for more than 50meters which makes it ideally for kids. You can also visit the Turtle Hospital (which is located close to the entrance). There is also shadow under some pine trees, but if you arrive after 10am most probably you will find it already occupied. At times it gets very windy. The restaurant inside has reasonable prices.

The beach was fine but the views on the road to get there almost earned it 5 stars. There is water sports and people available to take you out on a boat.

Lovely beach, pretty long, nice for a walk. I spent 6 weeks there next to the beach in December 2024 and January 2025 and liked it. It's partly dark sand, the rest are stones. Usually clean. Mountain view in the background and islands around were a bonus. Nice for sunsets. Many locals go there with chairs and tables and eat and drink. Some parts of the beach were quiet, mostly on week days, but it got too busy on weekends and in the afternoona in general. As an introvert, I would not enjoy the Calis beach in summer when it gets overcrowded. In winter it was still fine for me on weekdays. What I did not enjoy: way too many people smoking on the beach, they do not care at all if there's any non-smokers around (for a lifelong non-smoker, it was disgusting to me). And also many locals were fishing there, jus anywhere among other people who went there for a swim (yes, I did go for a swim even in winter when the water was not very warm but that's why I was staying next to the beach) and it was bothering having to check the fishing sticks and lines all around me. It's very inconsiderate that the fishermen do not stick to the end of the beach in order not to disturb other people who are not on the beach for fishing.

As someone who has spent her entire life in Fethiye—from birth through childhood and high school—I’d like to share a few thoughts about Çalış Beach (Çalış Plajı). Let me say this upfront: the water at Çalış isn’t the cleanest or most pristine you’ll find. That’s a fact anyone can figure out, whether they’re visiting for the first time or have lived here for years. But the real charm of Çalış isn’t in its water quality—it’s in the experience. Çalış is one of those rare beaches where you can walk barefoot on soft sand, where the shore doesn’t feel like it’s fenced off or commercialized with a cordon or barrier. You’re not forced to pay high entrance fees, buy overpriced drinks, or reserve a sunbed just to enjoy the sea. There’s a quiet kind of justice in that. You can just be. The view here is stunning, especially at sunset—one of the best in all of Fethiye. You can grab a cold beer from a nearby bakkal, walk down to the beach, and enjoy it with your loved ones without bothering anyone. It’s that simple. That free. You can walk, breathe, watch the Knight Island across the bay, and feel like you’re in a space that welcomes you as you are. There are wonderful restaurants around too—especially fish restaurants—and the pubs feel just right for Fethiye. The atmosphere is unpretentious, friendly, and open. Çalış offers a kind of democratic beauty—natural and social—that makes the friendships and memories you form here feel extra special and lasting. That said, I also want to offer a sincere warning. The water here may look calm and inviting, but it can get surprisingly deep after just a few steps. I say this as someone who nearly drowned here as a child, despite being a strong swimmer today. If you don’t know how to swim, don’t go in alone. It’s deceptive. The sea bottom drops quickly, and before you know it, you’re in over your head. There’s also a fair amount of underwater moss, which might feel unpleasant or slippery. So please—enjoy Çalış, but do so with care. Let yourself go with the flow, but not without a sense of awareness and respect for the sea.

Lovely laid back resort, flatter then near by resorts so easy to get out and about.

its a really cool place. but be prepared: it is very crowded, they will charge you multiple times for different things. The sun shades are a bit small, you need to adjust your sun-bed constantly (if you have space of course). it has a locker tho’ which is really handy, but didn’t worked for us, but the staff did a workaround to fix it for us. :) All together we had a blast at the bay, the water is very clear once you pass the shallow water. and if you up for exploring , you can climb the surrounding “mini island” rocks. i wouldn’t miss it!

Ölüdeniz – Where Turquoise Waters Meet Tranquility 🇹🇷 Nestled along Türkiye’s stunning southwestern coast, Ölüdeniz is one of the country’s most iconic destinations — and for good reason. The name “Ölüdeniz” translates to “Dead Sea”, referring to its famously calm waters, even during stormy weather. This natural lagoon has been drawing visitors for centuries with its crystal-clear turquoise sea, soft white sands, and breathtaking mountain backdrop. Ölüdeniz lies near the ancient Lycian Way, a historic trail once used by the Lycian civilization. It has long been treasured as a protected national nature reserve, which has helped preserve its unique beauty and biodiversity. - Calm, shallow waters ideal for swimming and relaxing - The Blue Lagoon, a postcard-perfect area great for families - Clean beaches with sun-beds, umbrellas, and changing facilities - A variety of cafés, restaurants, and beachfront bars - Public transportation and parking nearby - Eco-conscious management as it’s part of a protected park - Paragliding from Babadağ Mountain – world-famous views over the sea - Boat trips to Butterfly Valley, St. Nicholas Island, and hidden coves - Snorkelling and scuba diving in crystal waters - Kayaking, paddleboarding, and jet skiing - Hiking along the Lycian Way trail for scenic vistas Ölüdeniz offers everything from luxury resorts and boutique hotels to cozy guesthouses. The atmosphere is laid-back yet vibrant, with nightlife in nearby Hisarönü if you want a livelier evening. Whether you're after adventure or total relaxation, Ölüdeniz delivers it all — wrapped in natural beauty and Turkish hospitality. A must-visit on any trip to the Turquoise Coast!
Ferit B — Google review
⭐️⭐️ Ölüdeniz has always been known as one of the most beautiful beaches in Türkiye, and I’ve visited many times over the years. The sea is stunningly crystal clear — but sadly that’s the only thing left I truly love about this place. Prices have gone through the roof, the beach itself isn’t very sandy, and the lack of security is a real problem. There are people walking around taking photos of women without proper control, and one man with a parrot goes around pushing photos on tourists. When I said no, he was extremely rude and even shouted at me because he didn’t understand my answer — which is not my problem. It left a very bad impression. For such a famous destination, it feels poorly managed and not welcoming anymore.

Water is super clear, clean. The water is cold in May,June. You can still swim but not so much so i think its better to visit starting July. What I didn’t like is there is no good food no where in that city. The food dont have taste its like you chewing a piece of paper so be ready for that. You cant find good restaurants because we check every spot by car. Its really expensive. You have to drive 2 hours away for better food.

My experience went very well! 🤩 I really enjoyed it. Although I was scared, the professional tandem pilot was very professional (Yusuf Okudeniz Paragliding). The view was spectacular, and the weather was amazing. ☁️ I had the chance to fly into the clouds, one of my dreams, to touch them. I recommend it; the price is affordable. 💯 I was also taking videos with my Ray-Ban Meta Ai glasses, so it was a fun experience for me

The best view of Oludeniz from above! Also to watch parachutes take off! There is a cable car service available to take to the top of the mountain. There is four stops to the top of the mountain. You can stop at each point and admire the views. There is also different food place at every stop which you can check from their official website. The ticket purchased for the cable car allows you to stop at each point then return back to base. I would strongly advise to NOT drive to the top of the mountain. Unfortunately no one warned us and we took the road instead of the cable car. The road is very dangerous with no rails on the side. The road is not in good condition and broken leading straight off the cliff! Also the minibuses for the parachutes drive at high speed with no consideration for other cars! They make the drive even more dangerous. There also isn’t a place to park your car at the top. You need to leave your car by the side of the road and space isn’t guaranteed at all! It simply isn’t worth taking the risk plus I’m sure you would get better views with the cable cars.
Askin A — Google review
One of the newer facilities in Oludeniz is the cable car system up the mountain. Previously, the only way up was a series of narrow roads and hairpin bends. (You can still use some of these as part of an organised trail run.) Be aware that the car park is about 150 metres away from the main building. There is an electric shuttle bus that runs a regular service between the two. Note that taxis will drop outside the building, but you need to go to the car park to get one back. The ticket office is outside the building, and the entrance just to the side. In the foyer is a diorama of the mountain, and escalators and a lift to the floor where the cable car starts. The actual cable car is in two parts; the first goes to 1500 metres, where you can get out to go to a rather expensive restaurant, or stay on board to go to 1700 metres. Each car is a bubble with amazing all around views, and will carry up to 8 people. At the 1700 metre height, you'll find the first paraglider launch pad; and it looks like the most popular. I estimated between 30 and 50 launches per hour. Some were individuals, but about half were tandems. There is another restaurant at this point, so you can sit in comfort watching the launches. You can carry on up the mountain, using a ski style chair lift. It's easy to use, and there is an operator who keeps an eye on things. At 1800 metres, there is the second launch platform which goes in a different direction. However, it's up a set of stairs or a steep ramp, so not so good for anyone with mobility issues. At this height, there is a Burger House, that overlooks the launch pad at 1700 metres. About 100 metres away, there is the final part of the system, another chair lift that takes you up to the highest part of the mountain and the launch pad at 1900 metres. Views all the way up are astonishing, and well worth the effort of going up. The cost of the cable car is very acceptable; if you're in the area, it's worth making the time to visit.

The most beautiful mountain peak I have ever seen. Peaks at 2000ft. Looks over Ölüdeniz, Fetihye, and what's looks to be as far as Dalaman, the Agean Sea, Rhodes and Ulyk Tepe. Beautiful at sunset. Beautiful colours that bounce off of the water. There are restraunts and places to get drinks to at the top. The paragliders jump from the top. The views are magnificent and very romantic. A modern cable cart to the top, from the terminal, is 300 TYL per person. I would 100% recommend this visit even if it's one of the only excursions you do while in the area. Can get a bit chilly of you go late or out of season due to the natural elements. There is security who are very helpful and are good at keeping the tourists and attraction safe.

Despite facing natural challenges like dunes and earthquakes, Patara was a prosperous port city with historical significance as one of the first locations to have a lighthouse.
Patara is a beautiful beach! There is also an archaeological site that I love visiting. I highly recommend it if you are in the area.

Beach is nice. Very authentic…But 15 euro per person just for the entrance (!!!) it is a bit too much for a wild beach, where there are no proper conditions like shower, changing rooms etc…Also you have to pay extra for umbrella and sunbeds…A simple rip-off(((

Mashallah this is a great beach. Amazing views, nice walk here from the sand dunes. Empty beach, clear blue water and nice waves. Parking is limited up top but you can manage to somehow find a spot, just keep waiting. The sand is very hot so make sure to not go down to the beach barefoot!! We made this mistake and would not recommend.
Kai S — Google review
This place is beautiful and the sunsets are amazing, however, I recommend explore all the areas in Patara not just the beach. The best option is getting a tour that includes the historical areas and the beach.
Valeria E — Google review
Fantastic sunsets and good beach. The price is however too high and thus not really recommended. Overfilled with people and trash.

A beautiful long sandy beach, also suitable for kids, we had a great time again ❤️

The beach itself looks good and interesting as it is the part of big historical territory and famous for caretta caretta (type of turtle) nesting. It is worth to visit but I am not a fan of wavy sea so I didn’t try even to swim in it, but for the ones who likes the waves, ut can be really funny and cool😎
Caterina Z — Google review
Patara Beach is nice, but not amazing. You do have to pay an entry fee just to get in, which feels a bit unnecessary for a beach. The water is fine, the sand is fine — nothing wrong, but nothing unforgettable either. What does stand out are the sand dunes. They’re big, golden, and perfect for those dreamy “lost in the desert” Instagram shots 🤩. If you’re into photography or just want a couple of unique pictures for the feed, that part is definitely worth it. Overall, it’s worth a visit if you’re nearby, but I wouldn’t put it on a “must-see” list.

Saklikent National Park

Mentioned on

National park
Nature & Parks
Canyons
Saklikent National Park is home to one of the world's deepest canyons, with depths reaching up to 300 meters. Visitors can embark on a picturesque walk through the canyon to reach a stunning waterfall. While the water may be initially cold, it gradually warms up and provides a refreshing experience, especially on hot days.
Such a stunning place. Views were breathtaking, water crystal clear and so relaxing. Would recommend having an ice cream, taking a seat on one of the water benches and just taking in the scenery and atmosphere. Make sure you wear a hard hat and take care on the rocks. Some people who were rushing around then took a slip or tumble. Water rafting was also phenomenal, cannot stress how enjoyable it was (lift your bum though, some areas not that deep...)
Rosie J — Google review
Amazing stunning canyon. One of the best hikes i have ever done in my life. Water is crystal clear and you can see it come up from the underground springs, some sections the water is almost a neon blue colour. The canyon is very tall and super grand. There are a few pools in the canyon with water knee deep which require you to trek though the water. You also need to climb waterfalls which are very fun and walk through caves. Water is freezing cold at the start of the trail which is refreshing on a hot day. Highly recommend if you are in the province.
Dallin L — Google review
The gorge was amazing and a decent challenge to make it to the end. The water is very cold at first but refreshing. Make sure your footwear is suitable for both water and climbing rocks. The views are amazing. We did the rafting and mud bath which was definitely worth it. The restaurants by the water are over priced but the views are great.

It's beautiful. For the ones that appreciate the nature I'm sure u'll love it here. I'll let my pictures speak for itself. The only thing I want to warn you, or give an advice, come early in the morning. We arrived at 9.30am and we did the "hike" (more like a walk) through the canyon within 2 hrs time. On the way back I couldn't believe how crowded the place has got. Crazy. And it was a weekday - Friday. So yes, definitely worth seeing. Also there are nice places u can eat, beautiful surroundings, it felt very refreshing :) and please make sure u bring water shoes, we rented shoes there for 100 Turkish lira per person.
Erika G — Google review
The walk in the gorge was very short because of the rain the day before. There are some very cosy, hippy like terraces. You will have to wear a helmet. Be aware that you must cross the river at the start, bring water shoes! After that, the path is easy and dry.
ASTRID M — Google review
Very cold water in this amazing canyon. Especially in the hot summer a cool place to go. You can also walk way up into the canyon for a long walk. Entrance fee is 65 tl. Parking is 200 tl.
Janet B — Google review
This was a crackingly good day out and an excellent place to beat the heat. The water is icy cool and super refreshing and there are benches and tables in ankle high water so you can cool off while you eat. There is ziplining and rafting available (costs extra, about 500 lira each person/activity (£10)) in addition to the gorge itself, which is rather stunning and offers plenty of great photo opportunities. If you want to see everything, you will need to get wet, to at least knee high, so take some water shoes (I saw lots of lost sandals floating away) and beware that small children may need to be carried through some of the deeper or faster moving sections of the stream.
Nathan K — Google review
Don‘t go with a tour. Just take a local bus! Entry is 65. Watershoes to buy 200. Tours just go to the beginning of the gorge, you will miss incredible landscapes! Took me around 90 minutes inside. After 45 minutes there is a high waterfall, you can climb from inside the rocks if you feel confident. After that you can probably continue a while.

Tlos Ruins

Mentioned on

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
Tlos Ruins is an archaeological site located in a beautiful location that features ancient tombs, baths, stadium and theater. The ruins also boast a castle and an Agora. Although not as attractive as Patara ancient city, the site is definitely worth visiting for its historical significance. Entrance fee costs 12TL or free for museum card holders. However, visitors should be prepared to walk through rough terrain and therefore it may not be suitable for elderly or disabled individuals or young children.
I preferred this spot to the Myra ruins. First of all, it's way less touristy. We were the ONLY people there. It was also a quarter of the price of Myra. You are free to explore the whole area and ACTUALLY go in the tombs. Plus, there is an amazing view from the top. I would work this into your road trip. It was totally worth the stop. You get to drive through some farming villages on the way.
Jacob S — Google review
A fascinating walk through history! The rock-carved Lycian tombs are spectacular—very reminiscent of Petra—and stand in amazing contrast to the well-preserved Roman amphitheater and stadium nearby. The site isn't huge, but make sure you take the steep path up the hill above the tombs. It's a bit of a scramble, so wear good shoes and be careful of the narrow paths, but the panoramic view from the top is absolutely worth the effort and makes for incredible photos. A fantastic way to spend a few hours imagining the ancient world.
Dorian S — Google review
A great place to visit by car. Entrance for four is 600 lira. At the entrance you will be offered the services of a guide, I forgot his name. He lives nearby with his family. Take him, you will not regret it. Without his story, for us this place would be just stones with incomprehensible inscriptions. He will tell you about this place quickly and interestingly, will not let you die from the heat. He will tell you where to get the best photos. You set the price for the excursion yourself. His wife and daughter make souvenirs from stone with their own hands.

It's worth the visit at 60TL. It's interesting to see the ruins, tombs, and surrounding areas. Stunning 360° views especially of the snow-capped mountains. Parking is along the street, not designated, so if you see a safe spot, pull over. The little cafe or juice bar sells freshly squeezed orange or pomegranate or a combination of both, which was refreshing. There are toilets on the grounds which were clean.
Global ( — Google review
We were heading home from YakaPark, when we saw the ruins. We really did not expect to see such beautiful and impressive ruins here. We walked around and explored everything there, it didn't take more than an hour. Also, you can easily reach the top of the castle, where the flag is, It is an impressive place without a doubt. Not to mention, the view is very breathtaking If you like history and exploring old cities, you will like this place. Worth the drive!
Waad J — Google review
Absolutely relaxing place, nice view, wasnt crowded. You can buy ticket at the entrance highly recommended to have cash on you for. For us took about 2hours to walk around explore and make pictures at Castle, bath agora and theatre ruins. Toilet was available ant entrance, no parking lot, so you can park wherever you find place for.
Szilvia K — Google review
It was a very hot day so would definitely recommend taking plenty of fluids and covering yourself from the heat, The place itself has some amazing history and we ended up with a random tour guide who decided to join us (whose daughter also has a shop at the start of the walk), he did become a bit annoying when he would not let us explore on our own but each to their own as some people would not mind this. You are able to climb into the ruins and get some cool pics and videos and once you reach the top their is a lovely breeze on a hot day to enjoy as well aa the views to go with it. The walk does not take long depending on your pace but at a steady pace I would say around 30 minutes or so. Entry is around 3 euros so not bad to spend a bit of time in here.

Beach

Kaputaş Beach is a stunning sandy cove located just a short bus ride away from Kalkan. Nestled at the base of a striking mountain gorge, this tiny beach offers clear blue waters and is accessible via a narrow stairway with around 300 steps. Nearby, there are several other beautiful beaches such as Patara Beach, which is part of a national park and known for its 12-kilometer stretch of sand and turtle sightings.
I’ve traveled to many coastal towns, but the sea in Kaş is by far the most stunning. Crystal-clear water, breathtaking views, and a feeling of pure serenity — it’s a destination that I’ll always recommend!! It’s like a painting come to life — turquoise, deep blue, and sparkling under the sunlight. It feels untouched and natural, making it one of the most magical experiences I’ve had traveling 🥹🫶🏾🫶🏾

Such a gorgeous beach! We were here by the end of September, 2025. Current prices are 50tl for access; umbrellas and sunbeds for 250tl. There’s a sign that says no food or drink from outside but we brought our own and so did so many other people and no one said anything or even checked our bags. We couldn’t rent sunbeds as the beach was full by time we arrived (12noon), but we threw our beach towels and it was fine! To my surprise, the water wasn’t as cold as I thought it would be, so it was perfect! Totally recommend to arrive by public bus (dolmus) to avoid the parking hassle. Bus ticket is currently 75tl and runs every 30min. If you come from Kas, you can hop on at the bus station downtown. It stops right outside the main entrance both ways! Here’s the updated schedule.

One of the most beautiful beaches in Kaş, but services aren’t great and prices are high (almost like a beach club). The café was poor for the price. Stairs up are a bit painful, down is easier than reviews suggest. The sea gets very wavy—check the wind before you go and avoid windy days if you want to swim.

Stunning beach only 30min beautiful drive from Kaş. Car parking was ok on the side of the main road but we luckily came on a relatively cloudy, quiet day in the shoulder season. In summer or a very sunny day or weekend I would get a taxi, dolmus or scooter. Walk down to the beach is on well maintained stairs and very short. Entry to the beach was 50TL per person cash or card. We rented 2 sun beds and 1 umbrella for 690TL (cash or card) total for unlimited time. During our visit the water was still and extremely clear with cold and warm patches. It is very buoyant meaning you can lay on the surface of the water without much effort and take in the view. The ground is a mix of coarse sand and pebbles. There are toilets and a small cafe which we did not use. Very special place to spend a few hours.
Sagar S — Google review
Maybe in low season is worth a visit , in high season is disgustingly full, the place is nice but too crowded and you will find cigarette butts everywhere, there is a long staircase to get there . 50 liras per person the entry fee. Parking there is a mess and you risk someone parking and blocking your car .

Mount Tahtalı is a majestic peak standing at a height of 7,762 feet. 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.

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.

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.

great place, definitely worth visiting! after a 10 minute cable car ride with most incredible views you are on the top, enjoying the coolness and silence, surrounded by beautiful mountains, you can see the coastline and the sea. both stations (lower and upper) are equipped with toilets, on the upper one you can have a meal and drinks, also there is a kind of bungee swing.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Antalya Aquarium is a popular attraction near Konyaalti Beach, offering themed exhibits, a long tunnel tank, and tropical reptiles. It's known for being the largest aquarium tunnel in the world, making it a must-visit spot for families with children. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll while marveling at an impressive collection of marine life from various seas and oceans, including sharks and other aquatic animals like Sting Rays, Red Dragon Fish, and California Moray.
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 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.

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. 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

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%

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 ✨️ ❤️

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!
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 👍

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!

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!
