Top 10 Places to Visit in Antalya

1- Kaleiçi
Known as the center of Antalya, Kaleiçi is at the forefront of places to be seen in Antalya with its historical houses, narrow streets, cozy pensions, restaurants and souvenir shops. The life style of people in Old Antalya is almost like a kaleidoscope to get to know the culture of the city. While traveling through the narrow streets of Kaleiçi, there is a feeling of traveling in the time tunnel. Yivli Minare Mosque, one of the most important symbols of the city, is another important place to visit when visiting Kaleici. If you are visiting Kaleiçi for the first time, a little advice for you: do not go to a place immediately without visiting Kaleici. Also, the restaurants and cafés that you would like to know if you have been sitting here can be striking. Port tours are among the activities that Kaleiçi has come to prefer. :)

2- Antalya Museum
The Antalya Museum was built to protect the artifacts recovered from the ravages of the occupying forces that came to the region after World War I. Antalya Museum, one of the most comprehensive and touristic museums of Turkey, forms part of the museum's responsibility as a part of the important antique cities of the region, Lycia, Pamphylia and Psidia.

3- Termessos Spas
Termessos is home to Antalya's highest amphitheater and is one of Turkey's best preserved antique cities. Termessos carries the title of an ancient city which historians should definitely visit. When you go to the ancient city, you can drive a car for a certain period. After this point, you have to continue on your way. Since the ancient city is built on a steep slope, you may find it a little hard to navigate, but I will not be able to say without the scenic views waiting for you in this place. Surrounding sarcophagus, fire watchtower, green landscape has the charm to enchant the human. This ancient city is also the only city Alexander the Great can not capture. Do not forget to take your water while you are here because there is no fountain in Termessos.

4- Düden Waterfalls
Düden Şelaleri, located about 10 km from Antalya city center and divided into two branches in the form of Lower Düden-Upper Düden, offers a wonderful environment for nature trip with the family. There are cafes and picnic areas in the area where the waterfalls are located.

5- The ancient city of Perge
The ancient city of Perge, which was once the capital of the Pamphylia Region and 18 km east of Antalya, is among the most beautiful ancient cities in the world. Perge is also the home of Greek Mathematician Pergelius Apollonius.

6- Kurşunlu Waterfall
Kurşunlu Waterfall is a natural place where you can see a thousand tons of green and you can sip a cup of coffee with the peace of birds. By car You can reach to the waterfall by turning left from Antalya-Isparta highway 24 km. Kurisunlu Waterfall is located in the Natural Park, which attracts people of all ages and also keeps animals of different kinds. The park has food, drink, rest, picnic and hiking areas, and the best time to visit this place is between April and December.

7- Hadrian's Gate (Three Gates)
Hadrianus Gate, which is called as Three Gates in Antalya, was built in honor of the arrival of Hadrianus, the famous general of Rome, to Antalya. The three gates that Antalya has served as entrance gate for hundreds of years are at the beginning of Işıklar Caddesi in the center. When you visit the Hadrian's Gate, you can see traces of cars used by the Romans and taken by animals.

8- Konyaaltı Beach
Konyaaltı Beach is a place where it starts from the place called "variant" in Antalya and continues for about 10 km and the sea has blue flag and immaculate beaches. This is the closest beach to the city in Antalya. Especially in the morning, the sea is free of ripples, so it is advised to visit the beach in the morning for morning breakfast, walking on the beach and swimming. Another point I would not like to mention about Antalya and the beach is its magnificent restaurants that appeal to all kinds of taste and budget of Antalya. Those who have previously stayed in Antalya are reserved, especially in the summer holiday season, in Antalya for months before the month. However, for us who are sometimes hesitant to make last-minute vacation plans like us, we will look at the attractive opportunities offered by the Antalya hotels that Jolly Tur has presented every semester. The pleasant moments of our Antalya vacation we have booked with such a hotel reservation are still in my mind. Ah it would be good to live in Turkey again and to experience such a trip to Antalya ...

9- Lara Beach
Perhaps one of the most beautiful beaches of Antalya is Lara Beach. If you prefer a clean sea and a spectacular beach, we definitely recommend Lara Beach. There are numerous hotels and activities in this area. Lara Beach is 15 minutes away by car from the airport.

10- Antalya Aquarium
The aquarium in Antalya has almost all kinds of sea creatures and the entrance price is 35 TL for 2017 year. There is also an artificial snow environment in this aquarium which is especially wanted by the families of children, which is also named Snow World.
