Vacation in Beautiful Antalya
Beaches, hiking trails, and excursions.
For adventurous hikers, there are breathtaking trails leading through dramatic gorges and lush forests where you can explore the wonders of nature. And for those who want to spend quality time with friends, there are a host of excursions and activities to enjoy together, such as boat trips, scuba diving, or a cozy evening in the old town with its lively atmosphere and delicious local cuisine.
Mythical marina
Kaleiçi Marina
Take an afternoon walk to one of Antalya’s most beautiful spots and stroll among fishing boats and large yachts in the mythical marina of Kaleiçi – Antalya’s historic city center. Here you’ll find several small cafés where you can sit and look out over the picturesque Roman marina where local fishermen gather after a day at sea.
Spectacular waterfalls
Düden Şelalesi
The Düden waterfalls are a spectacular day trip. The waterfall, which falls straight into the Mediterranean Sea from large cliffs, can be seen from several directions. If you’re coming from Düden Park, you can gaze down at the waterfall with a bite to eat from one of the local cafés. Another option is to get here by boat via the marina in the historic city center of Kaleiçi and enjoy the stunning waterfall from the boat. An adventure for the whole family or a romantic day trip for the couple – Düden Waterfalls is an excursion destination for everyone.
Exciting excursion for families with children
Antalya Aquarium
Antalya Aquarium is a paradise for families with children. Here you will find 40 aquariums including the world’s longest aquarium tunnel at 131 meters. Besides watching sharks and other exciting creatures, you can throw snowballs in Snow World, or learn about colorful and poisonous species in the Wild Park reptile house – and much more. A full-day excursion with plenty of activities for those who want to take a break from the sun and water during their vacation.
Popular hiking trail
Likya Yolu
Antalya is a bit of a hiker’s paradise. Plenty of beautiful hiking trails stretch along the coast and offer outstanding views – including the popular Likya Yolu, the Lycian Trail. Named one of the best in the world, the 50-mile hiking trail passes through green areas and rivers along the way. However, during the summer months it is far too hot, so Likya Yolu is perfect for those visiting Antalya in the fall or spring season.
Antalya’s most beautiful beach
Mermerli Plajı
Centrally located in Antalya and surrounded by large cliffs is the small Mermerli beach. Here you can relax in a paradise-like setting, or go on an exciting snorkeling trip in the clear water. Mermerli beach is located in a small rocky bay close to restaurants and boat trips, for those tired of lying still after a day at the beach.
Fine dining among greenery
Seraser
In the old town center of Kaleiçi, you will find the city’s best fine dining restaurant Seraser. It serves classic dishes with a modern twist in a unique and lush environment. In the mythical courtyard, orange trees, flowers, and large palm trees grow in front of large stone walls, making Seraser an experience for all the senses.
