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%

A beautiful place! The atmosphere of ancient civilization is literally everywhere (!) around you. The route to the Temple of Apollo through the old town of Side is an incredible experience in itself - you literally walk above the ancient city, viewing its ruins through the glass floor beneath your feet. However, I recommend going a bit earlier, perhaps around 5 p.m., because after sunset, the number of tourists is overwhelming, and taking a photo in front of the temple (without hundreds of tourists in the background) is nearly impossible.

Amazing historical remains and well preserved. Peaceful on the coastline and easy walking distance from Side hotels or dolmus station. I used Beam scooters and got here easily and zipped around to see it all - cheap and easy. Nice walkways and signage with history. Feels magical and mystical. Nice walkable and enjoyable ruins with shops and bars dotted around nearby.

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

Beautiful sunset views!!! Recommend trying to get here for 5.30pm the latest so you fully catch the sunset. We walked down from our hotel Arnor Deluxe in Side which was roughly a 35minute walk. Around the corner is the Side sign and harbour with lots of little shops. The prices are a bit steep as you can get much cheaper elsewhere. Worth the time if you’re going out for a stroll. There were some quite vicious stray dogs who kept fighting around this area so beware of that.

Short visit in Side for 5 hours- taxi transfer from hotel to Side and back (in our opinion better than by exchanging buses from hotel-Manavgat center-Side center-return). Harbour area is really nice to be visited, for shopping and eating- many alternatives to be choosed

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

3 Euros entrance fee, but they only take Turkish Lira. Toilets on site. You can walk around unsupervised, but you need to have an interest to make it worth the visit.

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.

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.

Nice long beach with some flat rocks in the water. But easy to get into the water. Sunbeds and umbrella cost 375 Lira. Absolutely ok. 👍🏾

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.

Absolutely stunning! The water was warm despite a cold day. Beautiful surroundings

The beach itself is amazing,very long and plenty of space for everyone. The sea there is beautiful, lifeguards are everywhere so it seems to be like a safe place to swim. Negative is no free toilet these days Paying 50p for every entry is just stealing money for your basic needs.

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!

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

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. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

I can’t express the beauty of this place in words, but I hope my photos can.

Beatyful sailing to the Mediterenian See! And on the ship we dad the best grilled trout, and the sweetest and juicest orange for the desert!

Lovely 1 hour boat trip , cost us 200 lira for 2 adults 3 children ( all teens ) . Definitely worth doing 👌🏼👌🏼

Very nice river to have a boat tour with children and friends. 100% guarantee that you will take pleasure from trip without big waves like in the sea and stomach problem. Relaxing your mind by searching around green panorama of nature...

Beautiful place where blue meets green!

Not sure how something so close to the sea which was warm and in 45 degree heat could be so refreshingly cold and inviting ... If you go .. jump in and you will be refreshed for the next 24 hours

It's totally breathtaking! The outstanding nature and the greatest pieces of the ancient history are in my field of sight. Inexpressible privilege!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We went on a small trip with guide here. Picturesque views for cool photos, but too many Turkish people relaxing on the beach because it is cheaper for them. Anyway, it is cool to see how ancient people were living here and listen about their life.

A piece of history. Amazing view. Open world museum. Not five star because, you can basically come next to the sea by car.. The parking space should be more far away from the ancient city. There is no any table or information about the city, what im looking at or anything. And don't buy anything from the bodega if you don't really nedd, thats just crazy expensive..

Beautiful historic ruins and refreshing water negatively impacts by an insane amount of rubbish, plastic bottles, cigarette bits and more. When you pay 400 Lira per person, you expect a better kept park. Its exciting to see the work to restore the ruins.

Beautiful. All kinds of people. Locals having picnics. Families and friends swimming in the ocean. Tourists taking in the history. Very old and unique that you can explore the entire area without much restrictions

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

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.

Great place to visit. Something different to add to.your holiday

The weather here is very nice and the water is cold , including activities and good for family trips.😍

1 star because location is misleading it takes you to a dead road, and there is no contact number… Waste of time.

It's a good place. It's okay It's nice to photo

Surrounded by natural beauty with nice restaurants,

Wonderful place, no natural

My friend and I decided to visit Perge at the last minute, and it turned out to be a really great experience. We didn’t have tickets in advance, but when we arrived around noon, we didn’t have to wait in line at all, everything was quick and smooth. Tickets were 11 euros each, purchased on-site. I definitely recommend bringing water, as even in autumn the temperatures can be quite high. The site is beautiful, so bring sunscreen and a hat. Right outside the park, there are small shops selling hats and souvenirs. You can explore the whole park in about two hours at a comfortable pace, but if you’re like me and enjoy taking photos, videos, and reading all the inscriptions, you’ll probably need at least three hours. Signage inside the park is limited, so it’s a good idea to do some research beforehand or download information about the city’s history. There is also an area across the street from the main park that is technically outside the park but was open when we visited. Parking requieres a fee The site itself is incredibly well-preserved. Some sculptures, according to my friend who has visited multiple times, have been moved to the Antalya Archaeological Museum, which is currently under renovation. The museum houses original pieces up to 2–3 meters in size. We visited around noon on a weekday, and getting there was much faster than we expected. We thought it would take 45 minutes, but there was no traffic and we arrived very quickly. Overall, Perge is a stunning and well-maintained archaeological site and well worth a visit!

Interesting but poorly managed site Perge Ancient City is an interesting and impressive place to visit, full of history and beautiful ruins. However, tourists are charged much more than locals for entry, which feels unfair. The audio guide wasn’t available on the day of our visit, and there are very few signs or explanations to help visitors understand the site. Additionally, the toilets were dirty and had no toilet paper, which was quite disappointing for such an important tourist attraction. Overall, it’s worth seeing, but the experience could be much better with cleaner facilities, clearer information, and fairer pricing.

Impressive place worth to visit. Ancient large stadium for 12K visitors is good. Long streets decorated by numerous columns. Pity that the theatre is closed for visitors. But one should visit the Perge in my opinion. November is a perfect time to explore. Just a few people around, quiet and not too hot.

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

One of the best conserved ancient city I have ever seen. It literally takes hours to really go through the site. Went there with a guide in the early morning. It was empty and we had the whole all site almost to ourselves. The Gate of Alexander, the main street and the Agora are mindblowing.

We visited Perge Ancient City on a weekday and it was very easy to reach from the city center by tram. From the tram station, it’s about a 1.4 km walk to the entrance. The archaeological site itself is astonishing — the ruins are well-preserved and the area is incredibly impressive to explore. There is also a small café and a merchandise shop where you can take a break and relax. Overall, a beautiful and historic site that’s definitely worth visiting, especially with such convenient access from central Antalya.

Perge Ancient City is an impressive site with so much history, but there are definitely areas for improvement. The ruins are fascinating, but there aren’t enough markers with directions or distances, which makes it a bit confusing to navigate such a large area. Unfortunately, during our visit the theatre—the main attraction—was closed. It was disappointing since that’s one of the key highlights of Perge. I also think ticket prices should be adjusted when major sites are closed, as it doesn’t feel fair to pay full price in those situations. Still, it’s worth visiting if you’re interested in ancient history, but go with managed expectations and plenty of water, as the site is spread out.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Beautifully preserved and full of history, it’s an impressive Roman arch that marks the entrance to the old town. The marble details and ancient architecture make it a great spot for photos and it’s easy to visit while exploring Kaleiçi. A quick stop but definitely worth seeing.

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

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

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

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 👍.
