Things worth doing, places worth discovering and experiences recommended by people who actually live here.
What are you in the mood for?
Pick a mood, search, or start with a few favorites.
Get lost in Kaleiçi, end at the old harbor
Ottoman houses, Roman walls and bougainvillea lanes sloping down to a tiny crescent harbor cut into the cliffs.
Sunset from Karaalioğlu Park
Tea at the cliff edge, the whole gulf below, and the Beydağları mountains turning purple across the water.
Evenings on the Konyaaltı promenade
A long pebble beach with mountains rising straight out of the sea — and the city's after-work swim ritual.
Walk through Hadrian's Gate
A Roman triple arch from the 130s AD, still the front door between the modern city and the old town.
The waterfall that falls into the sea
At the Lara cliffs, the Düden river simply leaps off the edge into the Mediterranean.
Upper Düden: walk behind the waterfall
A shaded park in Kepez where a path leads into the cave behind the falling water.
What kind of Antalya are you looking for?
Same city, very different trips.
Antalya today
Antalya after dark
The second shift is just getting started.
Kaleiçi after dark
Courtyard bars in Ottoman houses, rooftops over the harbor, and lanes that stay warm past midnight.
A weekly pazar morning
Antalya grows half of what Türkiye eats — buy it at your neighborhood's weekly market, gözleme included.
Piyaz, hibeş and şiş köfte: eat like Antalya
The city's own table — tahini-drenched white beans, a cumin-tahini dip, and grilled köfte in old-school lokantas.
Where to start
A hand-picked few — not enough saves yet to rank Antalya by what members love.

Escape the Crowds
Upper Düden: walk behind the waterfall
A shaded park in Kepez where a path leads into the cave behind the falling water.
Termessos, the eagle's nest
A mountain city even Alexander the Great gave up on — its theater perched over a gorge, reclaimed by pines.
Swim at Phaselis, on the Kemer coast
A ruined Lycian harbor city in a pine forest — with three bays you can actually swim in.
Olympos, Çıralı and the eternal flames
Ruins in a jungle valley, a long protected beach, and hillside vents that have burned for thousands of years.
Side: the temples on the harbor
Marble columns of Apollo's temple at the tip of the old harbor — best at sunset, best off-season.
