Beautiful and stunning beach 🏖️. It is almost hidden. It was hard to get there, we almost gave up 😂. There is a small bar, with all u need to spend a good time! It is possible to pay with card.

Well worth the trip, we went down on a toyota igo🤣, not joking. There is a carpark right next to the beach for 10 cars and brave drivers. Grate place for a swim and quiet beach. Very wild. Best off road drive in years. Have fun!

This was definitely on the sketchiest drives I've had in my life, the "road" is very rocky and one simple mistake could lead to a punctured tire, so be warned if your rental car has special conditions for off-roading or a high deductible. Nevertheless the drive was worth it, the sand is amazing, the waves are awesome and above we arrived there around 7:30 pm and no one was there. Keep in mind sometimes there was barely any GPS signal, and at some point Google maps will tell you to take a left through a VERY dangerous road, choose the path that's 3 minutes slower, you'll thank me. The bar over there has no toilets and only sells drinks, so bring your own food if you wanna eat something. It's definitely the scariest/most exciting drive of my life. For reference the car we had was a Suzuki Swift automatic but I even saw people driving back with Hyundai i10, so with patience and going slow it's doable. On our way back we encountered a snake, careful not to run them over if it's dark already. Lots of goats along the way but they stay mostly out of your way.

The road to this beach is gravel. So beware when you drive. After a long trip, you will find a small beautiful sandy beach with big waves. The water is warm. The café on the beach plays very loud music, which is disturbing. I am not sure if it is worth the visit, as there are other nice beaches around.

The beach itself is beautiful, but getting there is very difficult. The road is narrow, dusty, and hilly – if you’re renting a small car, be careful because many rental companies make you sign that you won’t drive on dirt roads. Once you arrive, the beach is nice, but there are almost no facilities. The beach bar is very basic, nothing special, and there isn’t even a toilet, which can be a big problem. It’s also not child-friendly at all. I would recommend it more for singles or young couples who don’t mind the lack of comfort, but not for families.

Easily the best beach on the island. Sunbeds are €10 each. If you need a taxi, just ask at the beach bar — they’re really helpful. Just expect a 20–30 minute wait.

Beautiful beach, great photos from up top, soft and, a beach bar with some party techno and some options for drink and food. I came to swim. It's more windy and wavy than the pristine bathwater calm beaches you find, but def worth checking out. Keep in mind you need to get through a solid 15 or 20 mins of bad dirt bumpy roads, but you can do it with a basic rental car. Just take your time. Check photos for a view.

The hotel isn't what you expect from a four star, you have to pay for use of safe, no kettle in room, no entertainment other than greek music one night. Majority of staff aren't friendly. Definitely catered for German guests, we stayed in September & there were mainly German pensioners. All inclusive drinks were self service drinks in the day so it was limited to a few options, no spirits until after 6pm. Food was quite bland, dinning room dark & dated, trees around hotel blocked out alot of sunlight. Sunbeds were plentiful, pools were clean, rooms were clean. All German channels on the TV no English. No toiletries in bathroom either, few tweaks could do so much better as per other reviews. Wouldn't stay here again if I came back to kos.

Booked this hotel through TUI for our holiday. Also it was my wife's birthday so needed a place to go. The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. In the Dinning area we had Noah who was always catering for us paid particular attention to my kids knowing what they wanted when they come for their meal. The rooms were always cleaned. The Kitchen Manager Mr Costa was really intentional when l told him it was my wife's birthday. He helped decorate the table, baked a cake well paid for it and made the evening special for her by singing for her. The holiday Owner did not spare any expense he gave us a bottle of wine to celebrate the occasion. She was indeed very happy. The cleaners also went all out to decorate the room with flowers. The hotel was a short walk to the beach very clean and lively. I would recommend this hotel anytime.

One of the first things that I do when booking a holiday is check the reviews and initial Reviews of The Tigaki Beach Hotel were very mixed. You have to factor in those who just moan for moaning sake and then couple that with others who literally are happy with a barn and a bail of hay on the floor. Upon arrival at the hotel check in was a little, slow. The main reason for this is the Tourist Tax that TUI Do not tell you that you have to pay. That is roughly €70 per room per week, so for my family of 5 (who had two rooms) it was €140. This was not detailed anywhere on any paperwork when I booked it with TUI so this did frustrate me a little. Once this was out of the way (and I felt €140 lighter) I was surprised by the hotel condition and the grounds. It has clearly undergone some serious refurbishment and this is evident in the clean communal areas and very well kept grounds around the pool. We were directed to rooms 2205 and 2206 which wasn’t in the main hotel but was in the opposing building which overlooks the pool. Upon entry to the room (which has a shared locked corridor) I was bowled away with the quality of the accommodation considering the price we paid for the holiday. The rooms did have kettles and fridges (despite some of the other reviews saying it didn’t) and I have to be honest if you want to make yourself a cup of tea in 40 degree heat then crack on, but if you don’t, like we didn’t, we used the free bar and this is covered later on. There claims to be 4 pools and to some extent this is correct there are four however two of them are large normal size pools and two of them are children’s pools one of them being for babies or toddlers perfect for all children of all ages. I don’t believe the pools are heated however this isn’t a massive issue because once the sun starts blaring down you are glad of a cold dip. There are plenty of sun loungers and didn’t have an issue in getting one. The all inclusive offering is very good, the food is excellent and the snacks are also very good. I really don’t understand some of the older reviews saying that the food wasn’t fantastic. It was superb and I didn’t have any issues any day and neither did any of the children. The bar is open from 8 am where you can grab coffee, cold drinks, beer and wine which is all available on tap. You can also grab cold coffee and ice cream throughout the day and as much of it as you want. My tip would be to take a cold flask with you so you can pour yourself a beer and it will stay cold as the temperature was touching 40° on most days. From about 6 pm in the evening there are cocktails available and a range of other drinks to suit your taste. The room itself was comfortable very well appointed with excellent facilities. The hotel is opposite a fantastic strip of beach however beware that the Sun loungers on the beach are chargeable at roughly €10 each. Tigaki is a lovely little town and has some lovely bars and shops and well worth a mooch. We didn’t eat there because we had all inclusive, but there was some lovely restaurants. There is also a tour shop in the town and I would recommend that you book any local tours here rather than using the tour operator you flew with because the prices will differ significantly. The three island Cruise is really quite excellent and well worth €120 for five people. There is also a free bus which takes you to the water park “lido” which is a superb water park - but spaces are limited to get there early. Tigaki Beach Hotel is a fantastic location and I would really recommend this hotel to anybody in the future.

The rooms are clean, a little small, but they have everything you need for your stay. However, we were disappointed by the buffet, which is really poor quality with the same dishes every day, which is a bit disappointing considering we're paying quite a lot for the all-inclusive package. I think it’s made for the german/english tourists who don’t eat real good food. Also, the cleaning ladies are very noisy and intrusive. For example, even with the "do not disturb" sign on the door, they still come into your room... Otherwise, the hotel is well located and calm, close to the beach and with lots of shops and restaurants nearby.

Amazing for toddlers, we loved the drinks along the rooster pathway and super comfy sunloungers. Friendly staff and only 5 euros a bed with umbrellas!

If you wanna be among thousands of other tourists, this is the place to go. Not quiet, not clean, not fun. Lots of sunbed squeezed into a very narrow beach. The street through the village getting there is full of junkie gift shops, and expensive food places. Also lots of loud music. We prefer something quieter and less touristic like Lagada Beach on the south side of Kos.

Great location - lovely beach, bars, shops and restaurants all within close walking distance. Rooms were rather small but clean (no kettle). TV was stuck on German without option to change. Food was basic and repetitive, not very much selection compared to other all inclusive hotels. Hotel is over run by Germans - very German centered. Food is only available at certain times and cocktails and spirits only available after 6pm for a few hours - which we were a little shocked at considering it is all inclusive. Staff were friendly.

Amazing place where you can walk around for a couple of hours, taking in the beautiful views and the beauty of the architecture of the past . The paths are quite poor in areas, and if you have trouble walking, this could be a problem. As others have said, the price of €15 is rather steep.If they used some of the entrance fee to make it more accessible with better pathways, it would not be as bad. The toilets are really poor and are just before you get to the ticket kiosk.

Stunning history, beautiful to see, not accessible unless you can do many steps! Also €15pp.. But we did and enjoyed.

Interesting and nice place to visit. Sadly there is not that much too see and there are not a lot of signs with explanations, those with information are very easily to read, the sentences are a bit too long and complicated. A plus is the free ticket entry for EU students under the age of 25. Accessible by the local bus (1,50€ per ride)

The site is impressive and truly fascinating. However, the entrance fee is quite high (€15 per person), and more up-to-date information — for example, a 3D reconstruction or visual display in the nearby museum — would make it easier to imagine how the place once looked. The existing information boards feel somewhat outdated and could really use an update. And - the closing time / at least in October / is already at 18:30 !

There are no words to fully account the true wonder and inspiration of this place , the birth place of modern medicine in the west. The first medical hospital of it's type healed people from all over the world, paupers to kings the wisdoms and healing practices were open to all who required it. A must stop when visting the Isla of medicine.

Ancient ruins with lots of steps to get to the top. If you would rather walk up a milder hill ascent then turn left immediately through the entry gate and walk up the hill around the outside then you can walk back down all the steps.

A must see archaeological site on the island. There are three layers to visit-if you 're going in the summer, go around 6 or 7 in the afternoon, to avoid the heat!

Interesting place, hot springs run into sea, improvised basin and crowds of people. We went there on the sunset, not overcrowded but nothing like sun-beds or changing rooms.

Best time is sunset, we went around 7 pm and stayed till it was dark. Amazing place, smells like eggs but not too much. Was not overly crowded. Easy access by foot from parking lot/ bus stop. Can recommend!

Currently (2025.10) the basin aera is very small, there is no place to immerse yourself completly. There is only small hole with very hot water, and small pitch with warm wster near see. Quite disapointing! Not recommend to visit. The views are fine tough.

Such a unique spot! You jump into the sea and suddenly it feels like you’re in a natural hot tub. 🚿 Warm thermal water mixing with the waves, plus those mountain views – unreal! Bring a towel and maybe a scrub glove and you’ve basically got yourself a free spa day. 😂 Definitely one of the most fun and relaxing experiences in Kos

Kos Island Thermal Springs: A Traveller's Practical Guide I'd like to share my experience visiting the thermal springs on Kos Island – this place is absolutely worth the journey! Getting There I left my hotel early in the morning and walked along the coast towards Kos town, stopping along the way to photograph local landmarks (more on those in my next post). The bus station is quite modest: a kiosk with timetables (unmanned) and a covered bus stop. Directly across the road are ancient Greek ruins, and diagonally opposite is the police station – excellent landmarks for navigation. In October, bus number 5 runs every hour (same schedule for weekdays and weekends). With 45 minutes until departure, I happily spent the time exploring the ancient ruins. The bus arrived precisely at 12:30 as scheduled, but remained at the stop for another 15 minutes whilst the driver sold tickets and waited for other passengers. Useful Information: Ticket price: €2 (accurate as of 11 October 2025) Journey time: approximately 30 minutes The springs are the final stop on route 5 Windows are tinted, so sit at the front if you want to enjoy the scenery At the Beach It's about 560 metres from the bus stop to the springs at the end of the beach. The hottest and cleanest water emerges from a stone structure. Local volunteers maintain natural pools in the rock formations, though waves constantly fill them with sand and stones. During my visit, one dedicated soul was clearing debris with a barely-intact shovel – a true hero! The water is genuinely hot – practically boiling! The minerals are evident from the smell, and bubbles rising from beneath the earth delightfully tickle your body. I recalled Pushkin's fairy tale about Tsar Saltan, where the hero plunged into a cauldron of boiling water and gained youth and beauty – so naturally, I awaited my transformation! 🤣 Important Tips: Best to lie flat in the water – standing burns your ankles Alternate between the hot springs and the cold sea Don't overdo it! After my third dip, even as a regular sauna-goer, I felt dizzy and had to retreat to shore Beware: Local Residents! A herd of mountain goats roams the beach, attacking tourists at the slightest whiff of food. Whilst I was swimming, the goats knocked my rucksack off a stone wall (where I'd deliberately placed it high up!), unzipped it, and devoured everything inside. My attempts at fair distribution of the remains failed – the goats have their own hierarchy, and the alpha takes everything. Practical Information: Entry is free (surprisingly!) Sunbeds at the beach entrance: €5 (not worth it – the springs are far away) Better to settle on the sandy-stone beach near the springs themselves In the pool closer to the sea, the water is brownish due to iron oxidation in the rocks – bathers emerge with a rusty coating Verdict The views from above and along the path to the beach alone justify the visit, not to mention the healing properties of the mineral waters. This is a unique place where nature has created a genuine open-air spa!

What an awesome experience this is! We drove to therma beach and parked at the top near the cafe (you can drive down the cliff if your brave enough!!) However most opt to walk, it's a 10 min walk down to the bottom where you will find a volcanic beach with a little restaurant, black sand and cliff faces. In front of you, you will find the hot spring (and when I say hot- it's unbearable to stand in when we went!!) The best way to do it is to get into to sea first that's cooler and then attempt the hot spring. Its even bubbling in places! A selection of tropical fish in the clear sea- take a snorkel. There was also a gazebo offering some volcanic mud treatments, I chose a face mud mask for 5 euro and you wash it off in the sea afterwards. We also saw mountain goats clinging on to the cliff edge which had everyone watching and praying they didn't fall! The walk back to the top could be difficult for some and a test of fitness. Overall a reccomended experience!

Amazing spot with a fantastic atmosphere. I suggest to visit it during the night. Very emotional. Water was very hot!

It is located approximately 35 km from the center of Datça. It is reached by narrow and winding roads. It is a magnificent ancient city that is a bit difficult to enter by car but worth the trip. It is a city established between the famous centers of the ancient period, Kos and Rhodes islands. The city seems to be built on terraces. When you look up from the high hill, you can easily distinguish the terraces. The ancient city is connected to the island in front of it. As a result, it has two bays. One of these bays was used by warships and the other by trade ships. You can enter for free with the Museum Card. It is an ancient city where it is very enjoyable to visit. However, the surrounding facilities (cafes, etc.) are limited. Accordingly, it is necessary to go prepared.

A unique antique settlement located on western cape of the peninsula. The settlement utilizes 2 adjacent harbours opening to the opposite sides, like one to the Aegean and the other to the Mediterranean, thanks to the exceptional and strategic geography of the location. Swimming is available on the site. There are a couple of facilities serving dinner. And the sunset is fascinating if you are located in a good spot such as a Roman temple or Heron on the slopes. The antique site is closed for visits at 20:00.

Fascinating settlement with a long history behind, the ancient city of Knidos was founded 2500+ years ago by the Dorians and soon became an important commercial and military harbor. The site is visitable with a €5 ticket, quite cheap compared to other archaeological sites in Turkey. They must have considered the difficulty in reaching the place: the road from Datça is pretty narrow and it takes about an hour from there, but the views are very enjoyable. Among the ruins you can find the amazing theatre facing the old commercial harbor, rests of temples and churches and so on. Overall, it could be kept better, but restoration is still on the way. I suggest coming in the morning then exploring the beaches along the peninsula.

Knidos Ancient City – Where Sea Meets Centuries A truly magical place, nestled between the turquoise waters and the echoes of ancient history. The ruins, the views, the atmosphere—Knidos is a timeless gem on the edge of the Aegean. Absolutely unmissable.

It is one of the best preserved archeological sites in Turkey. Plan your trip for the sundown time to catch awesome views. It is a shame that there are no lights in the site to see the structures at night.

Had a look around this ancient city it is definitely worth a visit. It can be hard going in areas and is definitely a lot bigger than it looks. If your not steady on your feet certain area will be difficult to reach. But you can just keep to the bottom end of the site. You could spend a good couple of hours just walking around the site. It was 6 euros for entry, which we didn't mind paying as it goes towards the up keep of the site, plus some of the views are absolutely beautiful.

5* nature beauty 5* service 3* accessibility ♿ This is the very best spot i have visited in this area for the reasons of: ancient city ruins, nature beauty of rocks and mountains, and lighthouse as a marvelous sightseen here. The entrance fee is 5 EUR, the opening hours are from 9.00 till 20.00 in summer time. There not so many accessible paths here, but there is parking, entrance and main accessible viewpoint. Other part of the spot is hiking area, including lighthouse. The best time to visit is before sunset of course, both from the ancient city side or from the lighthouse.

Worth a visit if you’re into archeology. Entry fee is on the pricey side. Some of the exhibits inside the towers aren’t marked clearly until I saw someone coming out the door. Once inside there are some interesting exhibits but it was a nice way to cool off. Lots of viewpoints for some nice photos. There’s a cafe and museum shop onsite.

The museum is within a 14th Century castle that is much larger and more grand than it appears from the outside. The artifact collection was incredible. And the views of the city and Aegean were absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend visiting.

Absolutely beautiful museum! 💙 Amazing views of Bodrum Bay, fascinating shipwrecks displayed on glass and many interesting exhibits. You can really feel the spirit of history here. We visited in October — no lines, calm atmosphere. Worth spending 3–4 hours! 🏛️✨

No air conditioning working in the exhibit areas. Very expensive entry fee but not much to see.

Worth a visit. Informative experience and a well laid out museum. The whole family enjoyed the tour, and we used the audio guide too.

A lots of artifacts dotted around the various towers of Bodrum Castle with a main exhibition hall. This was fascinating and a very insightful exhibition around trading in the Mediterranean during the antiquity. Well worth the pricey ticket.

This is a good place to visit. It will take approx. 2 hrs. to get around the whole place. If you're into history and likes to take their time and read about each display, maybe alot 3hrs? Make sure to wear shoes that are good for hiking and not slippery. Some steps are a bit steep and the stones are a bit slippery. Bring some water too to rehydrate. 😊

This place is huge and beautiful kept. We spent nearly 3 hours combing through every detail and exhibit. The grounds, museum and setting inside the castle takes you back to life in the country so many years ago. Definitely visit if you are in the Bodrum area. Very less crowds also, so you can really spend some time by yourself. Also, the photos of the harbour from the castle walls will come out so good!

I wasn't expecting a great deal from the castle, so we saved it for a cloudy day, but I was wrong because it is a fascinating place. I forgive, a little, the Crusaders who in the early 15th Century stole stone from the already 2000 year old Mausoleum of Helicarnassus to refurbish and strengthen the existing ancient castle. But, in doing so, they created the historical and architectural heart of the Bodrum area. The local shipwrecks and their history just add an extra layer of interest and I defy any woman not to try on the golden crown of Artemesia. If, indeed, it was her. It is a very well spent 3 hour alternative to the bars and the beach, so if you are feeling footloose (final photo!) Do try it.

Quite disappointing to be fair!!! €23 entry fee wasn’t really worth it… maybe €10-12 would be better 👍🏻 I’ve noticed since been in Turkey & Bodrum, this country really loves to milk the tourists for there money 💰 a few old towers, a few old pots & statues, somewhat decent views but not a lot to see for the price you pay !!!! I was there almost 2 hours, hoping to find something profoundly interesting & utterly unique but not much else… the highlight was the indoor ship & if you wanted to see the other “ behind the glass ship “ that’s an extra €6 !!!! There are far greater things to spend €23 on but that’s my opinion 👋🏻

It's a large castle with a lengthy history and lots to see. Even without paying extra for the. Museum there are numerous displays from shipwrecks just off the coast. The day we went was extremely hot so we struggled as seniors to see everything. The separate buildings have fans to cool you down and that helped. As castles go it's a good one to visit.

The castle is very big and there is a lot of stairs. The view from above is unmatchable. If you have spare time don't miss it just take is slow and easy.

The scenic location of the castle is certainly dominant - Right on Aegean Sea! We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of visiting and touring the castle, which is very well preserved and full of historical artefacts. It is certainly worth visiting.

Lovely museum, definitely worth visiting even during summertime thanks to the a/c installed in every exhibition room. The views of the city are incredible and if you get a guide you will be able to learn more about the history of the city.

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.

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.

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.

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!

This monastery was a very important place for me to visit. And I am so glad I did it’s so beautiful and a peaceful place

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.

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

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

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

Great bay with clean water and amazin nature. Having a camping site is a plus!

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.

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

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.

Very clear sea and silent ambiance.

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.

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!

Pleasant little town. We walked here from our hotel in Marmaris. Took just under an hour. Bars and shops aplenty. Water taxi to take you to and from Marmaris is a nice and fairly inexpensive form of travel if don't want to walk.

Sunbeds free of you buy drinks / for from the bars. Didn't get hassle once we got a bed and service was great

Just went today.. was awesome water pure clear and clean.. there was a public beach in between the two business which was wide enough and had a good space for all. Sandy Beach and market nearby with reasonable price.. enjoyed and chilled a lot

Nice beach bit crowded in places best to get sunbeds from one of the restaurants and have food and drinks there. You get free sunbeds and WiFi while there then

The beach is nice but tiny pebbles and not sand . We used the sunbeds belonging to coco bar there.if you buy a drink you don't pay for sunbeds and they come round for you to order drinks , Had food in there too and was very nice ,people are so lovely there

Great place great scenery

Enjoyed the trip by boat all the way to the mud and thermal water park. Mythologically, It is been said that the river is filled by tears of a prince whose love left him for his brother. On the mountains there, they crafted their Graves.

Great place. Beautiful scenery in the boat ride that we took. The ancient graves in the mountains is a great scene and not to be missed.

Fantastic day trip whilst staying in Dalaman area of Turkey. Natural Mud baths and heated pool, boat ride, turtles and beach. A real must for anyone visiting this region of Turkey. £20 per person food included

Heaven, whether you are on a public river taxi or a private hire

Stunning scenery, highly recommend the River trip to turtle beach.

Nice trip by the boat

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.

Great beach with cafe , toilets, changing etc. entrance is 200TL for the car and 350TL for 2 sunbeds .

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.

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!

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

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.

Very nice!! Wish we had better weather

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!

Beautiful Beach. Love the scenery. It’s pebbly, but the pebbles are smooth. Water is crystal clear. Beach has washrooms. Entrance was 100TL per person. No stamp or receipt to leave and come back. Parking is extra. We had a scooter and just parked it outside the gate for free.

Nice and quite in October. We enjoyed it very much, but I can imagine how overcrowded ans overwhelming it could get in high season. Quite pricy, though: 500 lira for parking, 1200 for an umbrella and 2 sunbeds...

I loved spending time on this beach , one of my favorites.I wish i had more time to spend ,lots of bars and restaurants.We paid 1000Tl for 2 sunbeds and umbrella.Parking was 10 minutes away.Fres restrooms and shower.

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.

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!

⭐️⭐️ 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.

Need to pay for entrance. Need to pay for parking. Very crowded. No space much to set up your towels. Okey to spend 1/2hours but no quiet or comfy.... Shame as nature made it beautiful. But wasted by crowd.

Beautiful place! You can see wonderful view and people who are riding paragliding. If you ride paragliding in Oludeniz, you will begin at here! You have to come even you don’t ride paragliding as it is beautiful place to enjoy nature.

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

Went up nice and early to avoid crowds and hung around until the top end chairlift started. Amazing views and great watching all the lunatics jumping off the ramp!

Massive over 6,400 feet high. Went up to the first 🥇 level in May 1200m. Went up to the second 🥈 level in October 1700m.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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😎

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The natural beauty here was incredible. A few things will help you enjoy yourself: the water is FREEZING. I visited in September, it was a warm day, but the water remains absolutely ice cold. The rocks are pretty painful on bare feet, so water shoes would be good - but because of the current, flip flops were a bad choice. Your feet go numb really fast, and it's hard to keep the flip flops from falling off and floating away. We definitely saw multiple people slip and fall in, so having a dry bag for your things would be good. There are places to get food, ice cream, and souvenirs. It's cash only, and we did have to pay to park. The scale of the gorge is really hard to document, but it was incredible.

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.

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.

Don’t miss the chance to visit this amazing place, lots to see, beautiful ruins.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Great beach, we went at 10h30 in the morning , it was okay but 2 hours later it became crowded so we left at 13h , entrance is 50 lira , sunshade 230l , it quickly gets deep so you should be a good swimmer

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.

One of turkiye's most beautiful beaches with magical turquoise water. You have to descend several steps to get there. There are douches and changing rooms. The entrance fee is 50 tl.

Kaputas Beach, located between Kas and Kalkan, is an absolute must-visit if you’re exploring this part of Turkey! The beach is famous for its stunning turquoise water and jaw-dropping view from above—you’ll want to snap a hundred photos before you even head down. If you’ve never been here before, put it at the very top of your list. There’s everything you need for a perfect beach day: sunbeds, umbrellas, a café, plus you can always just bring your own towel and relax right on the sand. The beach is free to visit; you only pay a small entrance fee. One thing to know—Kaputas is super popular, so it gets really crowded, and parking can be a challenge. To get the best spot and enjoy a bit of peace, try to come really early in the morning or around sunset. It’s totally worth it!

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 .

Hard to find car parking that of course is on the road. Beach is ok and water is incredible transparent. Really love it. Entrance 50TL per person, nothing included

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 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.

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).

Antalya Aquarium is one of the Amazing places to see the indoor aquatic life. This aquarium have a great collection of different species of fishes. It has an indoor tunnel where U can see fishes from inside of tunnel. The amazing thing about the aquarium is it's buildup styl. At multiple positions, the big aquariums have old war ships which have drowned during war. Some old airplane statues most probably before 1940 version can be seen inside the aquariums. Furthermore, aquariums mimic sea environment as well

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.

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%

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!

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

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

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

Ancient Aspendos......is located to the east of Antalya and is famous for its best-preserved ancient amphitheater built in the 2nd century AD during the reign of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius. The theater has a capacity of 15,000 people and is still used today for performances and festivals. Its galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all testify to its architect Xeno's success. Next to the stage there is a small room which is used as a small museum where you can see some of the masks and clay tickets from the ancient times. Just above the theater there is the acropolis with a great view of the river from the top, where you can see a basilica, an agora, a nymphaeum and and a bouleuterion (council), all of them in ruins. About one kilometer north of the town there is one of the largest Roman aqueducts in Anatolia which supplied Aspendos with water. The river passing next to the city is called Köprüçay (ancient Euromydon) and was navigable once upon a time. This was also the place where the Persians used to breed their horses between 6th-4th centuries B.C. during their rule in Asia Minor. According to the legend, Aspendos was first founded by Greek colonists who came to Pamphylia region after the Trojan War. There are also possibilities that the city could be founded by the Hittites. Aspendos was one of the cities in this region to mint silver coins under its own name. Together with their neighbors Perge, Aspendos was also left under the Persian rule between 6th and 5th centuries BC, then became a member of the Attic-Delos Maritime confederation after its liberation by the Athenians. But later in the 5th century BC Persians captured the city again and stayed there until the arrival of Alexander the Great in 333 BC. After the death of Alexander, the city was controlled by the Seleucids, and then the Kingdom of Pergamum until 133 B.C. when the Romans took over Pergamon.

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

While you can visit order parts of the ancient city of Aspendos (and I absolutely recommend that you do), the theatre is by far the most impressive part. Highly preserved (and modified) due to its continuous use, it has amazing acoustics.

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

Visited the canyon with many different waterfalls and went rafting downstream afterwards. We drove the car there ourselves and got ourself a local operator on the spot who offered a personal guide on a private raft for just our group of 5 which was the best decision we made. We negotiated a price of €20p.p. for a total of 2 hours(1hr canyon, 1 hr rafting)+transport back to start point by car. We had time to enjoy the sights, take a dip/ dive in the river multiple time and had an amazing time. The youngest on our group was 9 and the oldest was 60+ but fit and fully mobile. Canyon is doable for elderly as the water is running, but no huge obstacles. The rafting part was a bit wild but also very fun! If you are with family and appreciate private space, rent a car, find your own operator and guide on spot, get a private raft and skip the lines. We noticed a significant amounts of trash on the sides of the river which was sad to see. Please collect all your trash and dispose appropriately.

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

Came here on a 5in1 activity days. The monster jet boats are awesome! The reps are always trying to upsell you something, photos, safety gear etc but it doesn't ruin a great day out. Dune buggys, white water rafting, zip lining, fishing, jet boats, monster trucks!!! 😀

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

The most wonderful place I have ever visited (thanks to Traum Tour company). The best instructor from Sudan (ahah, we still don't remeber name completly, however our comand was the best. Small and rapid waterfalls, a lot of boats, people and fun.

Fabulous canyon lots of walks around great scenery. Can go canoeing or white water rafting.

MUST GO THERE IF U IN TURKIE,THE PLACE ARE MAGICAL!

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. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
