The Sea of Galilee, also known as the Kinneret, holds great significance as a Christian pilgrimage site where Jesus is believed to have performed miracles. Travelers can explore the surrounding areas such as the plain of Armageddon and the ancient Biblical city of Megiddo. The stunning pastoral vista from the southernmost point offers a breathtaking view of the sea with the Golan Heights in the backdrop.
What an amazing experience to stand on the same shore as Jesus and the Disciples. It is a beautiful place and there are some well preserved sites. If you get to visit, take a boat tour, eat the St. Peter fish (Mango Tilapia) for sale all over and visit the historical sites.

"Cruise on the Sea of Galilee"‎ Went on a sruise on Sea Of Galilee. At the jetty came across a novel feature. It is a floating bridge jetty. To board the boats safely and comfortably, Its height can either be lowered or raises depending the level of the sea of Galilee Boarded Cruise boat Noah. As soon as we left the jetty. Indian national flag was brought to be hoisted on the Boat mast. I was given the honour to hoist. The whole group, spontaneously started singing National Anthem. Everyone felt elated and happy. I thought a very nice business idea to set the mood of tourists well disposed towards the cruise company. Returned after about an hour's cruise. During the cruise there was loud music from Indian movies people were dancing and enjoying noisily and thoroughly. Hardly anyone looked out at the scenery nor enjoyed the calm and serene atmosphere on the waters of sea of Galilee, Felt sad at missed opportunity.

We're a group of pilgrims from the Philippines🇵🇭. We're happy to have experienced sailing on a wooden boat across the Sea of Galilee. A good and unforgettable experience for all of us. The skipper even taught us some dance steps while sailing. After the boat ride, all of us were given a certificate that we had survived the trip. It's one for the books. It's a good thing the weather cooperated with us, so sailing was a breeze.

This is such a different, beautiful mosque with a long history - a mix of Persian and Ottoman detailing, so quite different from the blue ceramic tiling you see in other mosques. The courtyard and minaret are breathtaking. The inside is very spacious as well and can accommodate lots of visitors and prayers. Females are given brown cloaks to wear.

Very peaceful not a lot of ppl on a Thursday afternoon. there were some birds to watch, though its out of season (june). A lot of nutrias, donkeys and gamus. Enterece is free, and its possible to rent an electric car or bike. I used my electric skateboard and the route was very smooth. Beautiful sunset and everything is very green.
Gili B — Google review
Very interesting and worthwhile place to visit in Spring or Fall. Here's some background: When the State of Israel was declared in 1948 the Hula valley was a swamp plagued by malaria. In 1951 an extensive engineering project drained the swamp in order to enable agriculture. The swamp became a flourishing region with settlements, orchards, fish ponds and other crops. In 1995 1,000 dunams of land in the Hula valley was reflooded. The valley is located on the Syrian-African rift and today is visited by 500 million birds of 390 species in spring and fall. You can see the birds there, as they migrate from Europe to Africa and back, 15,000 of the 35,000 cranes spend the winter in the Hula park. This has made the area an internationally acclaimed area for bird watchers. The nature reserve is named after the Hebrew word for the sea bulrush found here, Agamon Hahula. This is the nothernmost point in the world where they're located. In addition to the birds there are interesting plants and animals. I saw a Coypu (Natria)- semi acquatic rodent. Some endangered species have been reintroduced. Entrance to the Hula Agamon is free. There is a 10km paved trail that goes around the area. Bicycles and golf carts are available for hire, and there are also guided tours. I knew that the main migration season was over when I dragged myself out of bed on a gray and dreary day to drive up North to the Agamon Hahula. Upon arrival it transpired that the next guided tour would be in 3 hours time and we didn't want to wait. We opted to hike the trail and I am pleased that we did because we would have missed some of the things we saw like the Ibis and Coypu. We heard a lot of birds and saw some, particularly cranes and Hoepoe birds. I am sure there are many more in migration season. We found an abundance of fruit like mulberries and figs. As we reached our car after the hike it started to rain!

It's such a great spot to visit. Tucked away in a tiny valley is a huge rushing river with falls! The trail along the river from the falls is a must-see as well.make sure you continue past the falls and follow the river downstream for some amazing sights.

A real treasure of the nature in the land of Israel. From above, you only (hardly) see a green line on dry volcanic hills. But as you come up and descend to a narrow canyon, you find yourself in a rain forest, with huge trees, lians, waterfalls, and traces of wild creatures. Indiana Jones themed park? No, it's real.
Rodion M — Google review
The stream is beautiful, majestic even. The waters are clear and the trail is very nice. However, you cannot enter it at the main site to swim, so if you’d like to swim you should visit the Syrian tank site next to the main reserve

Absolutely stunning! The beauty of the north in all its glory, amazing scenery, fresh cool water, a dazzling waterfall, very well preserved, rich historical background, and many more things to enjoy... This is a trail you owe yourself to visit at least once, suitable for the whole family. The choices of trails vary from half an hour, up to 3 hours total. Very highly recommend!

love the place! I would recommend coming sometime in early spring because then all the flowers bloom and its just really beautiful! There are several places to take pictures and breaks, and the way the hike is built is immaculate. In conclusion, 5/5 would totally go again!

Beautiful and very different in our landscape. It's reserved also very well. Great for families as there are also short and long routes. Due to the Corona you need to reserve in advance your visit, inside its not crowded at all. There are two sites to visit, going between is by car or hiking within the reserve.
Yaki T — Google review
Beautiful parks setting. Places to picnic. Unique location of a cave shrine to the Greek god Pan. It's fascinating that Jesus chose this place to tell his disciples who He was, that he would build His church on "this rock", meaning Himself as Jesus, and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. As such, the pagan people beloved at that time that this location was an entrance to hades because of the seemingly bottomless pool of water in Pan's cave.
Sherri D — Google review
This place is great! I'll start with the downside - there are many stairs to go down and then up. If you are old or disabled that might be a problem. Otherwise it is great fun. Most of the walk is near the gushing water, in the shade, with nature all around. And there are also platforms right over the water that yoi can stand on and be really close to the stream. It was great for me, my wife and 2 children, ages 1.5 and 4.5.

Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
Church of the Annunciation, a modernist Roman Catholic basilica, was built in 1969 on the believed site of the Annunciation. The Franciscan-run church stands out in the Old City with its lantern-topped cupola. It's one of two churches claiming to mark where Mary received news of giving birth to Jesus. The church features icons of the Virgin Mary from around the world and offers electric candles for lighting, an eco-friendly alternative.
Beautiful, amazing, spiritual and peaceful place! As a Catholic being able to visit the place where The annunciation happened to the Virgin Mary was a simply wonderful and religious experience. One can light up an electric candle 🕯in this church - I really liked this idea as I believe that it is more friendly to the environment. Amazing place and a must visit church when you are in Nazareth. People can go in a quiet place inside and pray. There are also a lot of religious artworks displayed outside from different countries. The thing i liked more was the collection of Maria portrait from all over the world. I strongly recommend to visit it and maybe take some pictures at night, because with all the lights on it's amazing.
Alex D — Google review
It's a must see for Christians and general public. However it is isolated in the middle of Nazareth which is currently suffering from bad management and disfunctual city services. Hopefully the city will improve and this beautiful site will shine again. Don't forget to bring something to cover the shoulders as respect to the holy site.
Lior S — Google review
In my opinion, one of the most impressive and amazing churches in the world. The visit to the Church of the Annunciation is powerful and interesting, the structure is amazing. The church was established at the site where, according to one tradition, the Annunciation took place. The church has a variety of works of art in different styles from all over the world.

Another thing that I liked is an alley with the paintings and mosaics to the church from all over the world 🌎 One can find donations from the South America, India, and my homeland Ukraine 🇺🇦 It feels really good to find things related to your country when you are that far from it, especially when your country is under attack from the terrorist russian state. If you plan your visit in advance, I also recommend to bring coins and cash for the donations to support the church.

Basilica of the Annunciation Nazareth, also known as The Catholic Church of the Annunciation, is the most impressive and spectacular site in the city and is considered to be one of the most holy churches for Christianity. Basilica of the Annunciation an outstanding building in the center of town, is built where it’s believed the house the Virgin Mary was. On the lower level is the most holy place – Mary’s cave, the cave in which, according to the Catholic-Christian tradition, Mary was visited by Archangel Gabriel and told her she is destined to carry Jesus in her womb.

a very special place with unique story. the church itself quite new and was built upon the ruins of the origins of st. mary...many illustrations from around the world were sent here for display and you sense that this is a piece of history. there is no entrance fee and many pilgrims come here for spiritual charging.

The most impressive church I’ve ever seen. It is modern, huge, tho it still preserve the old trails from Jesus’s time. Also, in the church’s yard, there are icons from all around the world, and it’s interesting to see different cultures picturing the holy family in their own way. You can visit the church for free, there is no fee.

Centre International Marie de Nazareth is a cultural complex located near the Basilica of the Annunciation. It is managed by Chemin Neuf, a Roman Catholic community from France, and serves as a space for ecumenical work and inter-religious dialogue. The center features an archaeological site with ruins dating back to the First Temple period, a rooftop garden offering panoramic views, and a café.
Go here! Visiting the center will add to your experience of Nazareth. The best part: the very friendly and smart receptionist guy who will tell you about the ruins and architecture of ancient Nazareth. The 4 videos about the story of Mary and Jesus are interesting if you don't yet know the story. Otherwise you will not learn anything new. The view from the roof terrace is very nice. A good quiet spot to enjoy the sun for a few moments. Entrance fee is donation based.

A must visit place for tourists here in Nazareth. It's just right across the street to the Church Of The Annunciation. I'd recommend everyone to watch all 04 (15 minutes each) video clips in 04 different theaters before walking all the way up to the top level where you'll have a wonderful view of Nazareth from the above.

The French community of the "Chemin Neuf" (New Way) takes care of the site built on ruins of a 1st century house, the neighbors of the Holy Family? offering a multimedia show on the life of Mary of Nazareth.

Our Lady of Lebanon بازيليك سيدة لبنان

Mentioned on

Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled atop Harissa Mountain, the Our Lady of Lebanon, or Notre Dame du Liban, stands as a breathtaking testament to faith and culture. This revered Marian shrine is not only a pilgrimage site for both Christians and Muslims but also one of the oldest attractions in Jounieh. With its majestic statue of the Virgin Mary overlooking the stunning Jounieh Bay, visitors are treated to panoramic views that blend natural beauty with spiritual serenity.
Visiting Our Lady of Lebanon in Harissa was one of the most peaceful and memorable experiences I had in Lebanon. Even though I’m Muslim, I felt truly welcomed and spiritually connected. I lit a candle, made a wish, and said a prayer.. and what touched me most was the strong sense of humanity this place holds. It reminds you that despite our different religions, we all share the same values of peace, love, and hope. The atmosphere was incredibly calming and full of comfort. The view from the top is amazing too. This is not just a religious site.. it’s a symbol of unity and peace. Absolutely a must visit for anyone coming to Lebanon. 🌿🕊️

When I visit Our Lady of Lebanon I feel the sanctity of the place in terms of its tranquility, cleanliness and gentle breeze. The statue of the Virgin Mary stands tall on top of the mountain with her arms open as if she is protecting Lebanon from all harm. I felt comfortable during this visit. You can reach Harissa by car or cable car. My advice to everyone who visits Lebanon is to make a visit to Harissa part of their itinerary. I highly recommend.

A must see when traveling to Harissa. This historical site contains breathtaking views of the city & sea. The area itself feels very peaceful. The staff are very knowledgeable. Just a note-if your shoulders are exposed, you will be given a cover up cloak.

A wonderful place for both worship and site-seeing. reach by road or take the Teleferique Cable Car. The views from here are beautiful, especially of the Jounieh Bay. You can see Paragliders all around in air, who are at your level when at this spot. The church is mainly for worshippers but all are welcome provided they adhere to the dress code, cloaks are provided to cover up before entering. You can reach the Statue of Our Lady by climbing a few more steps on the staircase from where the view is breathtaking, but beware, not for people with fear of heights. A must see in Harissa

It might be a very nice place to see but the scene yaş been blocked and turnet to a mess by the cafe's and restaurants which are very worse, untidy and the roads are very bad and dusty. I thing the whole area should be taken under the control by the Government, Ministry of Tourism and the Municipality, otherwise and at the present state, it is shame of municipality.

Amazing place, the food and Nargila is not that good there, you can have a table in the cold water, near the water falls and enjoy the nature, there is also a small market were you can buy some good gifts , the place there is full of cars especially in the weekends you give your car to someone to park it for you and then continue walking to the cafes. Most of the cafes there serve wine and raki. The prices is fair.
Wajeeh D — Google review
It was surely an amazing piece of nature but the waterfall ways were filled with mass of concrete and dozens of restaurants and vendors are now sorounding the water. Some restaurants placed their tables right into the water so you can cool yourself both drinking and having your feet in icy water. The overall concept is kinda vulgar, the trash around isnt being collected properly so you dont want to walk away from the main routes. The decoration of some places is quite absurd... combining everything... Anyway it was a nice walk and we cooled ourselves after superhot Antakya.

The Church of St Pierre is a significant historical site located in Antakya, Turkey. Carved into the side of Mt. Staurin and dating back to 1100 CE, it is one of the world's first cave churches and holds great importance in Christianity. It is believed that St. Pierre held the first religious meeting here to spread Christianity, making it a center of Catholicism and a pilgrimage site for Christians. The church also houses a museum and offers stunning views of the city.
Very old and historical church. Located on the hill so you have to walk to the top. The access if very easy. Actually, the inside is just a cave. I think the attractiveness is the rich-history behind this building.

Claimed to be first cave church. Interesting to visit but not worth the fee of 8 eur.
Aleksey P — Google review
If you were expecting something incredible - you will be disappointed. If you were expecting something epic - this is not about this place. This is one of the places where Christianity was born, just a cave in the rock where Peter preached, just a place, beautiful in its own way, but these are definitely not the great churches of the Middle Ages. This is a greater place, one of which Christianity began.
Сергей П — Google review
This place, although is small, should be visited for the historical value that it has. As the first church in the world, and another historical site in a city that dates back to the first civilised city-states of the world. It is better to have the museum card as it gives access to all museums and historical sites of Turkey for 1 year.
W G — Google review
The church is a small hall in the mountain. You need to know a bit of history and significance of the place to enjoy the atmosphere, have a look at the city view and tolerate the groups of religious tourists ( not to mention a rather expensive entry fee) Take your time to go around the church (opposite direction of the main entrance). You shall find an amazing number of tunnels dug in the mountains and the figure carved into the mountain. Unfortunately, the path is not marked and cleaned, but it is definitely part of the amazing history where people had to prepare escape ways to flee religious persecution.

The museum was moved last year to here. Previous place of this museum was in city centre but not big enough but new place is more bigger but far from city centre. I love the chronological path in the museum first path starts with cage life of humans and ends with modern day. Mosaics are well preserved and mosaics were like photographs. The only disadvantage of this path I couldn't find path milestones as described it was complex for me to understand how designated path goes. I started area 1 and I found myself at area 13 after 30 minutes but I think that was my fault that's why I give 5 star. When you see 480p resolution mosaics you understand why I gave star.

An impressive museum with a variety of exhibits about the area's very old history. I have been to many museums in Europe and this one could easily be in one of its capitals. The finds from the Hittite period are particularly impressive, as is the quality and massiveness of the mosaics from the Roman period. Worth it!

Stone Bridge

Historical landmark

Bridge
Stone Bridge, also known as Taskopru or Ponte Sarus, is a historic Roman bridge in Adana that spans the Seyhan River. Dating back to around 200 A.D., this architectural marvel has been in use for centuries and was open to traffic until 2007. The bridge offers picturesque views of the river and surrounding landscape, making it a must-see attraction for visitors to Adana.
Visiting Taş Köprü in Adana was an incredible experience. The bridge, which dates back to Roman times, is a stunning example of ancient engineering and architecture. It’s truly unbelievable that after nearly 2,000 years, it is still in use today, serving both pedestrians and vehicles. The structure’s elegant stone arches over the Seyhan River create a picturesque scene, especially at sunset. Walking across the bridge, I felt a deep connection to history, imagining all the generations who have crossed it before me. The surrounding area is also charming, with scenic views and a vibrant atmosphere. A must-visit landmark in Adana!

Adana Taş Köprü (Stone Bridge) was built during the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century A.D. It spans the Seyhan River (known in antiquity as Sarus) and is considered one of the oldest stone bridges in the world still in use today. Originally constructed with 26 arches, 14 of them are still visible and standing today. The bridge has been used by many civilizations over time, including the Byzantines, Seljuks, and Ottomans, and it has undergone several restorations. Known for its architectural elegance and durability, the Stone Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks of Adana.

A beautiful, well-preserved bridge. You can stroll to the other end and back, just as people have done for many hundreds of years. A view of the huge mosque to the north makes for a nice view. There's not too much to do at the bridge, so I'd recommend next heading towards that mosque through the riverside park on the west bank there, as the nice part of town is in that direction. Though beware of aggressive beggars and peddlers at the mosque.

If you are coming to the Mosque after seeing Taş köprü there is shortcut, an underground passage to the mosque but the passage stinks with urine and filth. You can make a bigger loop and pass through a traffic lights which are a bit far. But if you go through the underground passage the smell is terrible. Looks like an abandoned place. If you can bear the smell you can pass through it fast and reach the beautiful mosque that is worth visiting. I think municipal authorities should pay attention to this.

Tarsus Waterfall, located in Mersin, Turkey, is a popular tourist spot known for its stunning natural beauty. The waterfall was formed when the Berdan Stream changed its course in the 5th century, creating an impressive cascade that attracts visitors with its enthusiastic appearance, especially in spring. Surrounded by dense forests and lush vegetation, the waterfall offers public viewing platforms and restaurant options where visitors can enjoy a bite amidst the fragrant jasmines and tranquil waters.
We visited here as part of our trip to Tarsus and really enjoyed it. Access is through a restaurant, although we did not stop to eat. Entrance is completely free as is the large car park. The waterfall is wide and beautiful, but the part we liked the most was the friendly atmosphere from the locals. There are picnic tables set up around the viewing site and they were packed with local people coming here to have a picnic breakfast, and were also singing and dancing, in fact they invited us to share their breakfast and dance with them. There is a duck pond outside with a waterfall which also connects to the main falls. We'll worth going and bring a picnic!

The Varda Viaduct is an impressive architectural marvel characterized by its soaring structure and dramatic arches. It gained popularity after its appearance in the James Bond movie 'Skyfall'.

Visitors are advised to come early in the morning when it's less busy as photo taking spots can be dangerous.

AHNAF R — Google review
Hey there! If you're ever in Turkey near Mersin, you should totally check out Gilindire Cave, also called "Mirrored Lake Cave." It's a pretty amazing natural place. Inside, you'll see these super cool rock formations called stalactites and stalagmites. They've been forming for ages, and with the special lighting, they look really awesome. Just a heads-up, though, it can get super humid in there, so be prepared for that! But the best part is definitely the clear lake at the very back. It's so still that it perfectly reflects everything, making it look like a mirror. Seriously, it's a great spot for photos! Getting around inside is pretty easy thanks to the stairs and walkways, which are generally good for walking. However, there are quite a few steps, so it can be a bit tiring, especially on the way back up. Scientists have even found stuff here from the Ice Age, which is pretty neat. So, if you're into nature and seeing something a bit different, Gilindire Cave is definitely worth a visit. You won't regret seeing this hidden gem!

Ahmad M — Google review
I have visited Carlsbad caverns in New Mexico and Waitomo caves in New Zealand. The Gilindire caves in my opinion are much more enjoyable caves to visit. Inside the caves is a very well designed walkway and stairs the entire length/depth. The cave descends probably down to sea level and terminates at a platform overlooking a large crystal clear pool. You can hear bats 🦇 in the cave but I couldn’t spot them. In spring of 2025 the cost to see the cave was 60TL or $2 USD. Staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming! If it’s the middle of summer it would be a nice thing to do to escape the heat. I’ll definitely come back and visit.

Worth to see. More than 70 m depth. Very high humidity. And a lake at the bottom. Nor for everyone.

Also known as Aynalıgöl Cave, Gilindire Cave is located 7.5 km southeast of Aydıncık district, between Sancak Burnu and Kurtini Creek. The cave, whose entrance faces the sea, can be reached from the sea and land. The Gilindire Cave, which is 351 meters long in total, is a horizontally developed cave. The inside of the Gilindire Cave, which is right on the edge of one of the beautiful bays of the Mediterranean, is covered with all kinds of dripstone formations. These stalactites, which have reached enormous sizes and are extremely beautiful in appearance, have divided the main gallery into many halls and rooms. In addition, the large lake at the end of the cave and the stalactites, stalagmites, columns, walls, curtain dripstones and cave needles that form islands on the edge of this lake have turned the cave into a fascinating environment.

Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
Anamurium Ancient City is a sprawling site with eerily quiet ruins stretching down to a pebble beach, featuring mammoth city walls scaling the mountainside. The area includes a huge necropolis and a 4th-century basilica, with a mosaic pathway leading to the sea. The well-preserved baths complex boasts colored mosaic tiles still decorating portions of the floor.
Beautiful antiet city ruins with large necropolis and great sea to swim in as a bonus. Entrance is 60TL (August 23).

The ancient city is lying on a very big area. The paid part maybe is smaller than a "rest", but for sure that the ruins on the slopes of the hills are not easily accessible ones. Some reconstructions works are ongoing on different spots, but despite of it, almost the entire site looks somehow neglected. Parking is not developed, you may stop anywhere you find a place. Unfortunately the infrastructure is very poor. Toilet is the only one, no shop, or buffet. Nevertheless Museum Pass Turkey is accepted.

An ancient city you have to visit! It's a great place to see for people who enjoy history. Yet, the city is not to old, but it represents the perriods starying from 1-st century BC. Some objects are being renovated, but the mosaics are still waiting for it's turn to show their beauty.

Elzbieta J — Google review
Dimçay, also known as Dimçay, is one of the most peaceful and refreshing places you can visit during your stay in Alanya. Located slightly outside the city center, this beautiful riverside area offers a perfect escape from the summer heat, surrounded by the stunning beauty of the Taurus Mountains and lush green scenery. What makes Dimçay truly special is its combination of natural beauty and the relaxing atmosphere of riverside restaurants. Many of these restaurants are built right over the flowing, ice-cold river, with wooden platforms and cozy seating areas. Sitting above the cool water, listening to the gentle sound of the river, and enjoying a traditional Turkish breakfast or fresh grilled fish is an experience like no other. The water itself is incredibly cold, even in the hottest summer days, making it the perfect spot to cool off. Many places have small pools where you can dip your feet or even swim if you’re feeling adventurous. Some restaurants even have water slides for children, making it a fun destination for families as well as couples or groups of friends. The food at Dimçay is fresh, tasty, and served with genuine Turkish hospitality. You can enjoy delicious gözleme (Turkish pancakes), grilled meats, salads, and refreshing drinks while surrounded by the peaceful atmosphere of nature. The prices are quite affordable, making it a great option for a full day out without breaking your budget. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a lazy breakfast, have fun splashing around in the cold river water, or simply relax with a tea by the riverside, Dimçay is the ideal place to spend a summer day in Alanya. It’s a hidden gem where nature and comfort meet perfectly, leaving every visitor with wonderful memories.

The expansive Dim Cave, located 12 km from Alanya center, offers guided tours showcasing its historical significance and stunning stalactites and stalagmites. Admission is priced at 25TL with a parking fee of 5TL. Visitors can admire the breathtaking mountain and valley views surrounding the cave. This fourth largest public stalactite cave in the world contains two caves - one that is 50 m long and another that stretches over 350 m with a clear water lake at its end.
Very interesting and beautiful caves- discovered relatively recently. Some figures resemble animals, as if they were natural sculptures. At times it seems you are in Julio Verne’s novel! Be careful with the pavement at time, bette rot have good shoes and use the hand rails. The views from there are also gorgeous. There are toilet facilities and a gift shop with reasonable prices. A gem to visit if you are in Alanya!

The Dim cave, which is 11 km away from Alanya, is 232 m above sea level and is located on the western slope of Mount Cebeli Reis. Dim Cave, consisting of 4 galleries, is 360 m long, horizontal, 10-15 m wide and high. There are rich stalactites, stalagmites and travertine formations inside the cave. At the end of the cave, 17 m deeper than the entrance, there is a small lake with a water surface of 200 m². It is the second largest cave in Türkiye that is open to visitors.

Amazing place. Loads of steps to get to entrance. Be prepared for steps and more steps. Two caves. Right cave 50m. Loads of steps. Left cave 310m. Loads and loads of steps. Dark. Very cool. Plenty of places to stop and get your breath back. Highly recommend.

Great if you're interested in stalactites and stalagmites that form curious figures when viewed from the correct perspective. Make sure you bring a sweater or light jacket as it gets cooler the deeper in you go. Really enjoyed the restaurant before the cave that has a large menu of delicious bites to eat.

Went there for some sightseeing. I would not book a whole tour but rather rent a car or scooter and go up there yourself, the whole trip is a gift already. It’s high up in the mountains and you’ll probably want to stop here and there to have a look around. Inside the cave it’s quite amazing seeing how nature does her thing spanning over thousands of years. It’s quite large but inside takes about an hour. Depending how you climb those stairs or crawl up and down. Considering the price for a ticket inside it’s definitely worth a look. Even the kids after complaining they don’t want to look at some boring rocks, found it very interesting and somewhat thrilling. They are 5 and 9. Outside we had something small to eat which was reasonable nothing spectacular and the kids had some ice cream. We had a few fun hours before we went down to the river.

Alanya Castle

Mentioned on

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Alanya Castle, a historic fortress dating back to the Hellenistic Period, stands as an iconic symbol in Alanya. Originally built for defense and control of the harbor, it attracted Mediterranean pirates before being expanded and enhanced by the Roman Empire and later the Seljuk Empire. The castle is divided into three parts: Outer Castle, Middle Castle, and Inner Castle.
Alanya is a cozy town in southern Turkey that I’m visiting for the fifth time. There’s something special here that keeps bringing me back. The narrow streets of the old town, the majestic hilltop fortress, turquoise sea, and incredibly welcoming locals create an atmosphere you want to immerse yourself in. The Turkish cuisine deserves special praise! Alanya offers the freshest seafood, aromatic kebabs, delicate lahmacun and mezze - an array of irresistible appetizers :)
Anton K — Google review
The castle has a great view of the city so you may only go there to see this fantastic view. We liked walking up to the entrance and they have clean toilets and a shop selling fresh cold drinks. It was not too busy maybe because we went there during the week. The whole place could be a bit cleaner but still good.
ABGAR G — Google review
Get on the cable car to the top to see some spectacular views. The castle is big and you could easily spend a whole day there exploring. You will need some decent footwear as there are many steps. Walkways are full of little bazaar type shops and hidden gems to explore. Visited with a guide to show us the best bits buy can easily make your own way around. The sunset was awesome.

Clifftop castle covering a hugh area. Can get chairlift or walk to top of it. Lots of great views all around it. Set out on different levels decent footpaths. Also did boat trip from harbour around headland again great views of castle walls.

Very cool experience. Incredibly beautiful up there on the mountain and you can see as far as you want! Lots of differences in level, so strollers and wheelchairs are not suitable. There is a small market at the top and also kiosks and restaurants along the way. We walked up and took the cable car down. The cable car was a scary experience for those afraid of heights and it's expensive. 920 lira for two people one way!
Anni B — Google review
Excellent view and great historic location. If you’re English speaking, I definitely recommend doing your own research to accompany your visit; the signs are not well translated and it’s hard to get an idea of the inspiring history of the place. Definitely recommend visiting at sunset, getting transport up the hill and visiting the market stalls on the way up before your visit as they will close
Lewis B — Google review
This was an amazing find on our holiday to turkey and 100% worth a visit. We took the cable cart up to the top of the mountain where the castle is, you can also drive up and park in the car park if preferred. The castle ruins were well kept and had little shops and toilets throughout, you can pay to enter the castle or if you want you can just walk around the outer ruins and grounds for free. We seen some amazing views of the surroundings including the harbour and the famous I ❤️ Alanya sign. This could easily be a half to full day out depending if you enter the castle or not and is perfect for children we took our now 6 and 10 year-old boys with us who absolutely loved to see the ruins and read the stories behind them.
Rachel K — Google review
Alanya Castle is one of the must-see places in the city. The view from the top is absolutely beautiful, overlooking the sea, the beach, and the whole of Alanya. The castle area is very big, so it’s also a good place for hiking or walking around while enjoying the historical atmosphere. The easiest way to reach the castle is by taking the Teleferik (cable car). Once you arrive, you can walk around freely, but keep in mind that if you want to enter the museum area inside, there is a separate ticket fee. It’s a great spot to spend a few hours, especially if you enjoy both nature and history. Don’t forget to bring comfortable shoes and water if you plan to explore the larger area by foot.

Kleopatra Beach

Kleopatra Beach, located at the western foot of a promontory in Alanya, offers a long stretch of coarse sand and gentle surf. The beach widens as you head north, providing uninterrupted views of the castle and Taurus Mountains. Along the shore, there are beach clubs with sun loungers and a wide promenade lined with palm trees. Visitors can access the castle via a steep cobblestone road or take the Alanya Teleferik from Kleopatra Beach.
This is a beautiful huge beach. It really reminds me of Thailand 😍. The sand is golden and the water was a nice colour in the winter - it must be stunning in the summer. This beach is 100% worth a visit when you’re in or around Alanya.
Noemi — Google review
The beach itself is very beautiful and convenient. However, it’s very dirty. I don’t understand why neither the beach nor the water is cleaned. The water is very polluted by visitors, with microplastics, bandages, and various waste that shouldn’t be there visible everywhere. The authorities and visitors show a very careless attitude toward such a beautiful place. It’s really a shame.
Emin S — Google review
cleopatra beach is truly one of the must visit places for swimming and relaxing. the sand and the sea are very clean, making it a great spot to enjoy the water. although both tourists and locals sometimes leave trash behind, i really hope this will decrease in the future so the beach can stay as beautiful as it deserves to be. the view here is stunning, the sunset, the mountains with goats wandering around, and the surrounding tourist spots all create a breathtaking atmosphere. the endless horizon of the sea brings a real sense of peace and relaxation. this natural wonder is also home to crabs, jellyfish, and even large fish, which makes the experience even more unique. on top of that, the cable car view over the area is simply amazing and adds to the overall charm of visiting this beach.

Kleopatra Beach is absolutely beautiful!!!! The sand is soft, the water is clear and refreshing, and the whole atmosphere is just so relaxing. It’s a lovely spot to spend the day, whether you’re sunbathing, swimming, or just enjoying the views. There are plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas for hire if you need them, and lots of little cafes and restaurants nearby for snacks and drinks, which makes it really convenient. The beach was clean and well looked after, which I really appreciated. It’s popular, so it can get busy at times, but it still has a calm and friendly vibe, everyone just seems happy to be there. I really enjoyed my time at Kleopatra Beach and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Perfect for a chilled-out day by the sea!

Kleopatra beach is so beautiful. The heat is unreal! The sand is lovely but gets super hot in August! I love going in the sea which is very warm, clean and refreshing. However the waves can get very powerful and knock loads of people over which is actually great fun! But if you're fragile take care! The back drop of Alanya castle is so beautiful.

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.
Nafiz I — Google review
If you’re into a good walk, try walking from the center of Antalya to the Lower Düden Waterfalls. You’ll see a lot more of the city along the way, and the view at the end is beautiful! If you still have some energy left, you can continue to the sandy beach just behind it. I took the bus back and had a really nice day trip!

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

Sights & Landmarks
The Patara Antique Theatre is a well-preserved historical site that offers an immersive experience for history enthusiasts. This ancient Lycian city boasts impressive ruins, including a grand amphitheater and Roman bath complex, showcasing remarkable architectural prowess. The theater itself is considered one of the best-preserved examples from antiquity, offering an atmospheric and picturesque view. While it was once located near the coast, the sea has since receded.
The acoustics here are incredible. We recommend arriving early to enjoy it. Patara is a unique place with history and energy. Very beautiful complex antique-city right next to the sand dunes and the sea. When you come here you will explore nature, antiquity.

A relatively small amphitheater, seating only 6000 spectators in 38 rows of seats. It was first built in the BC era but there were a series of improvements and expansions. During the early eastern Roman. A wall was later built between the seats and the stage to enable gladiator and wild animal fights. The arena is still in a state of disrepair and it is dangerous to try to access the seating area. Most of the area is fenced off but there is an entrance on the left side so you can view the interior.

I bit pricey to enter (€15) per person but if you’re around you definitely should visit. I recommend evening time. We went there after 6pm. This is a perfect time. Very very few people so you could explore the place in peace, without a rush and had it almost to yourself. This one of very few heritage site that you can literally walk everywhere and touch everything so you can experience the real ancient world. Amazing feeling to enter the amphitheatre trough main entrance onto the stage and to look up and around. You get the feeling from the Gladiator, when they were entering the Colosseum. You can almost imagine the cheering crowds. There is also restored Theatre which is also amazing. I love the way you see more than just few stones . You can actually see it as it was!!!. There are view cons. No clear directions as what to see or where to go. Little map or leaflet would be helpful. Also should be some clear signage to point you where to go next. Whole place feel a little bit neglected, broken lamps and decking. Overall you should really visit this place and enjoy the ancient city of Patara

Highly recommend visiting beach and walk to the ruins (in summer ideally starting from the sunset; the archeological site is open until 22).

(Translated by Google) A truly remarkable structure. It's gratifying that it has survived to this day in its ancient form. There are some collapses, but the overall integrity remains intact. (Original) Вполне достойное сооружение. Радует, что дошло до наших дней в древнем исполнении. Есть обвалы, но общая целостность сохранена.
