Antalya preserves a historical nucleus that dominates the old port, between Roman gates and Ottoman houses. The Düden Falls show the waters of the plateau to the coast. Perge and Termessos expand the stay to two very different cities, one in the plain, the other in the mountains; the museum requires an availability check.

General presentation
Antalya
Antalya preserves a historical nucleus that dominates the old port, between Roman gates and Ottoman houses. The Düden Falls show the waters of the plateau to the coast. Perge and Termessos expand the stay to two very different cities, one in the plain, the other in the mountains; the museum requires an availability check.
The discovery of Antalya is structured around Kaleiçi and the old port, Hadrian Gate and Archaeological Museum of Antalya. The stay thus alternates between urban life, the coastline, heritage and mountain reliefs, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: archaeological museum closed according to the official calendar from May to October 2026; Termessos is a mountain excursion. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.

Walk
Kaleiçi et le vieux port
Kaleiçi is the historical nucleus of Antalya, located above the old port. Its cobbled streets and roofed houses of tiles bring together Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman heritages in a still inhabited area.

Heritage
Porte d’Hadrien
This monumental gate was built in honor of Emperor Hadrian, who came to Antalya in the second century. Integrated with fortifications, it is a landmark of the Roman heritage at the entrance to the historic district.
Museum
Musée archéologique d’Antalya
The museum preserves important collections relating to Pamphylia and the Anatolian Mediterranean. Closed for reconstruction, it is not available in the official calendar from May to October 2026; therefore, collections should not be promised at the visit.

Nature
Chutes inférieures du Düden
The Düden has two sets of waterfalls around d-Antalya. This sheet and its point concern the lower falls, at the sea outlet; the upper falls are in another area and require separate access.
