While in Antalya, if you have the opportunity, we recommend that you visit the Antalya Museum. Suleyman Fikri Erten founded the museum in 1922. It was initially inside the Aladdin Mosque located at the Fortress. It was then moved to the Yivli Minaret and finally moving to its present location in 1972. It was the recipient of Council of Europe Special Jury Award in 1988. The museum has 13 exhibition halls, outdoor galleries and a garden. The majority of the collection is made up of ethnographic works of art found during archeological digs in the Antalya region. The sculptures from the Roman Empire are among the most impressive works that can be found at the museum. Archeologists from the USA, Germany, France, England, Austria and Turkey continue to conduct research in the area and the Museum experts conduct the coordination of these efforts.

 Yivli Minaret and Kesik Minare Mosque
Yivli Minaret (Alaaddin Mosque, Center):
It is located in the city center of Antalya at Kalekapisi. It was built as a Bzyantine church in 1230 and converted into a mosque around 1225. It was destroyed and rebuilt in 14th century.The minaret of the mosque which is 38m high is the symbol of the city.

Kesik Minare Mosque (Broken Minaret, Korkut Mosque - Cami - i Kebir, Center):
It is in the Kaleici area in the center of Antalya. It was built as a Roman temple in 2. century A.D and did not have a minaret at that time. There was another Bzyantine church was built nearby in 600s. Then it turned into a mosque when Seljuk Turkish Empire conquered Antalya. That’s when the minaret was built. In 1846 it was destroyed by a big fire and abandoned. Aspendos
Aspendos was founded by colonists coming from Argos. It was once the most important city of this area. The visible ruins are from the Roman era. The theatre which is a perfect example of the work of Roman architects is still active and used for concerts and other cultural activities. It was built by the architect Zenon and can hold up to 30000 people. It has been hosting Aspendos International Opera and Ballet Festival Aspendos since 1994. Besides the theatre there is a stadium which is one of the best preserved structures of the city. Agora, Basilica and Nymphaeum are the other places to see. Aspendos is located 48km east of Antalya and can be reached by taking a right turn after passin Serik on Antalya-Alanya road while driving towards Alanya.

Arikanda-Arycanda
Arykanda is located in Finike which is a lovely small town of Antalya. It is thought that people used to live here since 2000 B.C but the oldest coins found have been dated to the 5. century B.C. The bath complex, Agora, Theatre, odeon, stadium and necropolises are some interesting structures to see here. It is on the 17th kilometer on Finike-Elmalı Road while driving towards Elmalı. Alarahan
It was built on the Silk Road by Sultan Alaaddin Keykubat in 1231 as a caravanserai. There is a small mosque, bath and a fountain inside. It was restored few years ago and now used as a restaurant. It is one of the best examples of Seljuq architecture.You have to see it yourself...It is located 37km west of Alanya.

Alara Castle
This great castle was built on a dome shaped rock. This rock is so steep it even scared the invaders. The only way to get there is through tunnels hidden under rocks. You may need a comfortable pair of shoes, a pocket lamp and some motivation. After walking 45 minutes you will be amazed by the fortress and the view.
Altınyaka (Selge)
One of the most important cities of Psidia is Selge which is in a protected national park. Its height is 950 from the sea level and 13 km far from Olukköprü. Here is the meeting point of the tourists who are taking a safari excursion. There are some ruins which remained till our time; city wall, towers, water tanks (Cistern), Zeus Temple, agora, stadium, theatre, gymnasium, and nekropol. Demre - Myra
Demre, quite apart from being a tourism centre, is also an important agricultural region. Greenhouses are widely used and many varieties of vegetables are grown. Its touristic reputation is as the home of St. Nicholas (Father Christmas, Santa Claus), who lived and served as bishop here. He was born in nearby Patara to a rich family, died on 6 December 343 AD. He was buried in a sarcophagus in a church built in his name. However, the church was badly damaged in an earthquake in 529, later being restored with the support of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian. In 1087 a group of Italian seafarers came to Demre, opened the saint's sarcophagus, placed most of the bones in a sack, and took them to the Italian town of Bari. The remaining relics are on display in the Antalya Museum.
When you look at the hill to the north of the Church of St. Nicholas, you see rock-hewn tombs. These monumental tombs are from the ancient city of Myra. Myra was one of the most powerful cities of the Lycian Union and held three votes in the league. The history of the city goes back as far as the 5th century BC. As the Christian faith began to spread, one of the Apostles of Jesus Christ, St. Paul, came to Myra. As you enter the ancient city, one of the first things you see is the theatre which has 35 rows of seat. The site of the city was decorated with statues, columns, and reliefs, some of which have survived to our time. Some of the rock-hewn tombs are near the theatre. When you look down to the town of Demre from the acropolis, the reflection from the plastic greenhouses in the sunlight makes for an interesting sight.

 Kekova
The Kekova which is located south of Theimussa and Simena is the last populated island along the sea road from Aegean to the East. A part of this island sank into the sea due to a natural event, but the time which this occured is unknown. The interesting structures to be seen are; the ruins of a small church near the anchoring area, the ruins of the tombs, the stair starting from the sea, and the ruins of the Gates-half of which are under the sea. Kınık (Xanthos)
Xanthos was the name of a city in ancient Lycia , which is now called Kınık. The site has been on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list since 1988. It is very old - finds date back to the 8th century BC, but it is possible that the site may have existed during the Bronze Age or during the first centuries of the Iron Age. the Xanthosians twice demonstrated the fierce independence of the Lycian people when they chose to commit mass suicide rather than submit to invading forces.
Although the British discoverer Charles Fellows carried away some of the finds of Xanthos (now in the British Museum) many interesting monuments and structures remain, including two of the most interesting tombs in Lycia.
Xanthos is not far from Patara and a trip to Letoon or Xanthos from Kalkan, Kaş or Fethiye could easily be combined with a trip to the beach and/or ruins there


 Köprülü Canyon National Park
It is located 92 km north-east of Antalya. The river ”Köprü Çay” is the most important part of national park which born from Taurus Mountains at the South of Eðridir Lake. Its valley is about 120 km and the river flows towards south showing different beautiful panorama. To reach to the sea, Köprüçay River has engraved and brought into view a wonderland at this part of countries in hundred of years. This valley is the longest canyon of Turkey which is 14 km long and 100-400 m height. This canyon ends in Olukköprü which is important for local transportation in present time. In the last few years it is not allowed passing lorries and tractors over the ancient Roman bridge that spans the river like a necklace. The Köprüpazari Stream winds through the valley, forming the finest rafting site in the whole Mediterranean region. At the same time, all those interested in nature, trekking and line fishing will find much to interest them here. KORKUTELI ÇAYBAŞI BATH (DEDE KORKUT DIYARI)
It is located in a beautiful garden in Caybasi Mahallesi. It is not known when it was built but its architectural characteristic tells us that it is from the 16th or 17th century. KORKUTELI SİNANEDDİN MEDRESESİ
 Olympos - Olimpos
Olympos is a valley at the south coast of Turkey, 90 km southwest of Antalya city near the Town of Kemer. Olympos was a member of the Lycian Union. Its coins date back to the 2nd century BC.
The entrance to the ancient city of Olympos on the cove of Adrasan can be reached by car. This area is a national park. Many drinkable water sources may be found in the area and this encourages the growth of different herbs and trees. However; these herbs and trees has destroyed or obscured many of the ruins. On the other side of the river there was a Byzantine basilica and a theatre that seated 3.000 people, though now only its gate is visible.
Near Olympos, located in the neighboring village of Çıralı the eternal flames called the Chimaera may be seen issuing from the ground. The fuel source for the flames is natural gas, largely methane, seeping through cracks in the earth.
During your visit, you can see tombs, a temple, the ruins of churches, parts of an ancient aqueduct, and tombs hewn into the rocks. Olympos has the perfect environment for trekking, mountain biking, canoeing, rock climbing, sea kayaking. It is possible to rent equipment in the village or to join organized tours.
 Patara
The turn for Patara is ten kilometers along the road from Kalkan to Fethiye; from there it is six kilometers to the ancient city, and one more to the beach. Patara was a member of the Lycian Union, one the six cities that held the right to three votes, and possibly the most important of all. Most meetings of the Lycian Union were held at Patara. There are 5th century BC Lycian references to the existence of the city of Patara
Patara was very important during the Roman period as well. It was significant for its port, its wheat warehouses, and for transport. The city gradually-lost its importance as the port of Patara filled up with sand, and vessels found it difficult to berth. The sand, shifted by the winds, not only silted up the port area but in time also covered up much of the city. Some remains of the city lie today under the fantastic Patara Beach. Barriers have been set up above Patara Beach to prevent further shifting of the sand by the winds
One of the most impressive ruins at Patara is the Roman Arch of Triumph, dated to the end of the 1st century AD. Among the other remains that can be seen towards the hill are the baths, a Byzantine basilica, and a Corinthian-style temple.

-Patara Beach
The beach is eighteen kilometers long. The sand is very soft, and the water is shallow. The area is protected, because sea turtles leave their eggs. The area is suitable for windsurfing since the breeze never slops. The sun is burning hot and, as there is no shade on the beach, do not forget to rent an umbrella at the entrance. There are restaurants in the area
There is a horse riding center where you can join a horseback trip along the beach. The tour takes in the sides of the channel, sand hills, and seaside.
Perge
To get to the ancient city of Perge, follow the Antalya-Alanya road fifteen kilometers to Aksu, where you turn left at the signpost for the site. The ancient city is two kilometers from the main road.

Perge was the capital of the Pamphylia region and is believed to have been built in the 13th to 12th centuries BC. . After coming under Lydian and Persian rule, the city surrendered to Alexander the Great in 334 BC. The brightest era of the city was during the reign of the Romans in the 2nd to 3rd centuries AD. All the visible remains of the city date from this era. There are excavations continuing on the site. Perge is today an archaeological site and a major tourist attraction.

After passing through the entrance you will see a Byzantine basilica. After the basilica comes the agora and on the left there are baths. Among the cities of Pamphylia the largest and most beautiful baths were to be found in Perge. As you keep walking, you will see two tall walls that run parallel to each other. These walls, the symbol of Perge, arc dated to the 3rd century BC. After the Hellenistic gate comes a 300-metre-long colonnaded street ending at the nympheum beneath the acropolis. To the left of the street is a 79x79 meter palaestra (open square) dedicated to Emperor Claudius (41-54 AD) by Julius Cornutus. It is in good condition and located to the north of the acropolis on a flat plateau.
The theatre, away from the historical site, is the first view of the city from the road approaching the entrance. The 15,000-seat theatre has been restored and re-opened to visitors. Behind the theatre is the large and impressive stadium, one of the best-preserved of the ancient world and the second-largest after the stadium in the ancient city of Aphrodisias.
 Phaselis
Phaselis is an ancient Lycian city in the province of Antalya in Turkey. It is located between the Bey Mountains and the forests of Olympos National Park, 16 km west of the touristic town of Kemer and on the 57th kilometer of the Antalya–Kumluca highway.
This port city, founded in 693 BC, though overgrown with pine and cedar trees, is easily visited. Phaselis in history was an important port city. The city had three ports, one of which was at the entrance in the north. To its right there is a small port, the middle of the three, which was known as "war" or "protected" Port. At the end of Port Street comes the port of “sun", now an anchoring spot for blue cruise boats. Phaselis was the oldest settlement in the region and, through its trading activities, the port rapidly developed and prospered. It joined the Lycian Union and became one of its important cities. With the weakening of the league, Phaselis shared the fate of other port cities and fell under the control of pirates until the Roman Empire began to dominate the region. In the Byzantine period it became a bishopric. It retained its importance until the 3rd century AD and declined after that.
For protection from pirate attacks, the city was surrounded by walls which we can see traces of today. At the entrance to Phaselis is the aqueduct used to carry water from the Taurus Mountains to the city. The most important thoroughfare of the city was Port Street, still impressive today with its width of 20-24 meters.
Hadrian's Gate is to the south of the street and the entrance to the port, and a small amphitheatre is located on a hill facing out to the sea. On the top of the hill there is an acropolis and next to the port to the south an agora can be seen.
 Termessos
Concealed by a multitude of wild plants and bounded by dense pine forests, the site, with its peaceful and untouched appearance, has a more distinct and impressive atmosphere than other ancient cities. Because of its natural and historical riches, the city has been included in a National Park bearing its name.Termessos, one of the best-preserved ancient cities in Turkey, was built between two peaks on Güllük Mountain. The site of the city is 1,050 meters above sea level and spread over a wide area.
In ancient inscriptions the people of Termessos referred to themselves as the Solims, an old Pamphylian tribe. The language they spoke was a unique dialect of Psidia. Termessos first left its mark in history when Alexander the Great surrounded it in 334 BC, and the residents successfully defied the invader. Arrian, one of the ancient historians who dealt with this event and recorded the strategic importance of Termessos, notes that even a small force could easily defend it due to the insurmountable natural barriers surrounding the city. Because he knew he could not capture the city, Alexander did not undertake an assault, but instead marched north and vented his fury on Sagalassos.
The city enjoyed a period of prosperity during the Hellenistic and Roman periods, but there is little information available on its subsequent life in the Christian era. Termessos was an ally of Rome, and so in 71 B.C was granted independent status by the Roman Senate; according to this law its freedom and rights were guaranteed. This independence was maintained continuously for a long time. The end of Termessos came when its aqueduct was crushed in an earthquake, destroying the water supply to the city. It was abandoned in (year unknown) - a fact that does much to account for its remarkable state of preservation today
The remains of Termessos are mostly scattered across the thick rnaquis and forest area. It is hard work to find the points of interest without a guide, but you can still trace them by studying the general park plan (there is one at the site).

 Karain Cavern
To get to Karain Cave, take the Korkuteli road, turning left OPPOSITE the entrance to the National Park and driving another eleven kilometers. The cave, which is in the hamlet of Döşemealtı and near the village of Yağca, was a prehistoric settlement. The cave at a height of about 370 m from the sea and about 80 m up the slope, has three passages linked to each other and a narrow entrance on the side of Çam (Katran) Mountain facing the Mediterranean. The first space is believed to have been used as a living area, the second as a cemetery, and the third, which is very narrow, as a shelter. As you move deeper into the cave, in the second and third galleries you can see stalagmites and stalactites. Karain Cave is one million years old and was utilized in the Paleolithic and Iron ages. The wall inscriptions and archaeological finds show that it was a religious centre in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Excavations and scientific research are still continuing at the Karain Cave and some of the finds are exhibited at the museum near the entrance.

Alanya Castle
Alanya Castle (Alanya Kalesi) is a medieval castle in the southern Turkish city of Alanya. Most of the castle was built in the 13th century under the Seljuk Sultanate of Rûm following the city's conquest in 1220 by Alaeddin Keykubad I as part of a building campaign that included the Kızıl Kule. Today the building is an open air museum. Access to the seaward castle is ticketed, but much of the area inside the wall, including the landward castle is open to the general public.
After the Kızıl Kule and Tersane, you come to the Alanya Fortress. To reach the fortress on foot takes about forty-five minutes, though there are frequent minibuses running there. Even if you take a minibus or taxi, you should walk at least part of the way back to enjoy the fortress tour. Other sights include the Arap Evliya, an 11th century Byzantine church converted to a mosque; the Süleymaniye Mosque; and right next to it the restored bedesten (covered market) that is now a hotel, restaurant, bar, and cafeteria. Next there is the Ehmedek, where the fortress commander used to reside, as well as the small Alanya houses dating from the Ottoman and Seljuk eras, the mescid (small mosque) of the Akşebe Sultan, and the sultan's tomb. On the left, a water cistern covered with red tiles is the largest of the 400 cisterns within the fortress and still in use. One of the most important works that has survived to our day is a Byzantine church that was used as a mescid in the Seljuk era.
The last stop in a tour of the inner fortress is the Adam Atacağı Kulesi ("the tower where men are thrown"). When you climb up to this tower 250 metres above sea level, take a stone in your hand, make a wish, and then throw your stone. According to legend, if it hits the water your wish will come true. However, if your stone did not reach the sea, no problem; for you this is only a game, but this practice was invented by the Romans for their prisoners. As the story goes, the prisoners were given three stones each. If they could get one of the stones into the sea they were spared, but if failed they would be hurled into the sea with a catapult. The name of the tower comes from this legend.
 Antalya City Centre
Antalya is Turkey's leading tourism center and one of the most important tourism centers in the world.. You start your Antalya visit at the historical city centre, which includes Hadrian's Gate, the Hidirlik Tower, the Yivli Minaret, the Kesik Minaret, and Kaleici (old Antalya), with its narrow streets, historic houses, and the ancient port. All are within an area of one square kilometer. You can cover all this on foot, which is the best option as cars are banned on certain streets.
The Hadrian's Gate (or Hadrianus Gate or The Three Gates (meaning "Üçkapılar" in Turkish) is a triumphal arch which was built in the name of the Roman emperor Hadrian, who visited Antalya in 130 A.D. It has three arched gates. According to the legend, Sultan Belkis, the Queen of Sheba, is said to have passed under those gates and enjoyed a happy day in the palace in Aspendos on her way to visit King Solomon. According to the famed traveller Evliya Çelebi, the historical city was surrounded by 4.5 kilometres of walls. The walls of the fortress and towers were strengthened during the Seljuk period, surrounding the whole port area. At the southeast end of the walls, the two-storey Hidirlik Tower stands fourteen metres high. You can get there from Hadrian's Gate by following Hesapçı Street down to the seaside.
Once you enter Kaleiçi one of the monuments that will attract your attention is the Yivli ("Fluted") Minaret, the symbol of Antalya. The 37-metre-high brick minaret has eight chamfers or turns. In was built by the Selçuk Sultan Alaaddin Keykubat I.
Another interesting monument in old Antalya, Kaleici, is the Kesik Minaret. The building was originally a 5th century church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Later the son of Sultan Beyazid II, Korkut, had it converted into a mosque. The original wooden minaret burned down in 1986 and it has since been known as the Kesik Truncated) Minaret.
Now it is time to move towards the port area through the narrow streets of Kaleici. The district can be visited at all hours of the day but the best time is towards the evening. Many of Kaleici's historic houses and mansions have been restored and several are used as hotels, pensions, bars, and shops. Most shops offer gifts and souvenirs aimed at the tourist market. Most hotels, restaurants, and bars in Kaleici have an inner courtyard under the orange trees, the ideal spot for a drink with lots of ice. There are also many cafeterias, bars, and restaurants that overlook the walls.
The old port of Antalya was restored in the 1980s and this restoration work received the European Council Golden Apple award. You will come across many boats anchored in the port. You can take one for an excursion to the nearby waterfalls via the dolmuş system (where you wait for enough passengers to fill the boat) or hire one yourself.
Kaleiçi nights are colourful. You can get carried away by the inviting music coming from the side streets; you can sip your drink or dance in bars and restaurants with live music and late closing hours; you can make friends with people of many different nationalities: Turk, German, Russian and Italian…
For a panoramic view over the city of Antalya, take the Korkuteli turnoff and drive three kilometers to the Düzlerçamı Park. Then continue to Güveruçurumu Section Three for a view of the city, the pearl of Turkish tourism.
Antalya Düden Waterfall
To have a cool day in Antalya and to see a wonder of nature, you should go to Düdenbaşı waterfall. The waterfall is twelve kilometers north of the city, and there are buses and minibuses running to the site. Düden means "sinkhole." Some of these sinkholes are big enough to swallow a whole river and lake.
The water disappearing from the Bıyıklı sinkhole travels fourteen kilometers underground before surfacing again at one end of the Varsak sinkhole, and then, after flowing another two kilometers, dives underground again. It re-emerges at Düdenbaşı, where the Düden River breaks into several branches, finally running into the Mediterranean from the cast of an over-40-metre-high travertine forming a waterfall.
The cave you enter via a narrow staircase and the green of the environment will also impress you. Do not forget to pack your camera. On the bank of the river, by the cool water and greenery, there are restaurants where you can get a meal and a drink.
Antalya Kurşunlu Waterfall
On a stream running through pine forest and a valley covered with thick vegetation, twenty-four kilometers from Antalya, there is a recreation area under the national park authority with small and large waterfalls, lakes, viewing terraces, and walking paths. There are small lakes where you can look at water lilies and see ducks and fish swimming. After this, you can observe the cool waters running into a cave and then bursting into a waterfall before your eyes, as the water drops turn to gold in the sunlight. Walks on the paths that follow the stream and run all around the valley are another source of joy. Or you can climb on the trees that stretch their branches over the running water, cross the bridges and, if all this is not enough for you, you can walk beside the stream as it runs through the valley. The reward for this walk is to rest in the rustic restaurants and coffee houses around the waterfall after the excursion. To get to Kurşunlu Waterfall, follow the Antalya-Alanya road and take the turn onto the NEW İsparta road after seventeen kilometers. Then follow the signposts for seven kilometers to the site. Antalya Konyaaltı - Beach Park
Antalya Beach Park has shade trees, snack stands, restaurants, cafes and bars, showers and other services, as well as beach chairs and sun umbrellas for rent. Parallel to the beach there are cafes, restaurants satisfying all tastes.
Behind it is a large parking lot for visitors' cars. Its long beach holds the blue flag certificate, the internationally recognized symbol of clean and safe beaches. You can take part in activities such as paintball and mini-golf in the woods behind the facilities.
The Beach Park Entertainment Complex includes the following:
- Beach: A 3.2 kilometer stretch of beach is part of the complex. This area has a total of 16 different beach areas. The Antalya Sheraton Voyager, Falez and Su Hotels run 3 of them. The areas between the beaches are free to use, but if you want to sunbath at a beach you may have to rent a beach chair and an umbrella. All different types of water sports activities are available at 3 of the locations. Additionally, one location has a seaplane which is available for hire. Finally, the beach also has beach-volley; football fields and beach parties once in a while.

-Hillside Su Hotel: This 5-star hotel is owned and operated by the Hillside chain of hotels.

- The remaining area of the entertainment complex houses a shopping center and promenade. This area is 4,500 square meters and has 54 shops and restaurants that include an antique shop, children's club, nargile cafe, Cuban-Mexican restaurant, and wine & cigar shop and seafood restaurants. Most of the shops are restaurants, cafes and bars.
 Antalya Lara - Lara Beach
The beach begins east of Antalya's cliffs just past the Lower Düden Waterfall. East of the waterfall a point of land extends into the Gulf of Antalya. Hotels, restaurants and other services host visitors who swim mostly from docks and platforms. The real sand beach starts on the east side of the point and extends for several kilometers. The first major installation is Lara Halk Plaji, with beach services organized by the city of Antalya. Beyond this municipal beach are various private commercial installations which bear numbers (1 to 8) and names. I'd suggest that you have a look at Lara Halk Plaji first, and if this doesn't fit your needs, go farther east to find one that does. Antalya Kalekapısı - Hadrianus Gate
The Hadrian's Gate (or Hadrianus Gate or The Three Gates (meaning "Üçkapılar" in Turkish) is a triumphal arch which was built in the name of the Roman emperor Hadrian, who visited Antalya in 130 A.D. It has three arched gates. According to the legend, Sultan Belkis, the Queen of Sheba, is said to have passed under those gates and enjoyed a happy day in the palace in Aspendos on her way to visit King Solomon.
