What you'll experience

Behind the resort strip, Antalya holds a city with over two thousand years of continuous life. A guided Antalya Old City tour walks you through the Ottoman lanes of Kaleici, past two waterfalls that spill toward the Mediterranean, and onto a boat for a scenic harbor cruise along the limestone cliffs. Seven hours, one driver, no planning needed.

The waterfall stops are Duden and Karpuzkaldiran, then the guided walk in Kaleici passes Hadrian's Gate, Roman walls and Ottoman mansions. From the old harbor, the boat shows the cliffs and city walls as they look from the sea. It suits first-time visitors to the city.

Kaleici, Coast, Waterfalls & Harbor Boat

Hotel pickup, panoramic boat, two waterfall stops, Kaleici guided walk, harbor boat ride, and return transfer.

  1. 09:00

    Pick up from your hotel in Antalya.

    Our team will collect you from your centrally located Antalya hotel and begin the city route in the morning. Starting with hotel pickup keeps the day simple for first-time visitors who do not know the city layout yet. It also helps the itinerary cover several very different areas without extra transport planning on your side.

    Pickup time may vary slightly based on your hotel location.

  2. Midday

    Lunch at a local restaurant.

    A lunch break is included during the route, giving the day a natural pause between the city and nature sections. This stop matters because the itinerary covers several areas and stays more comfortable with a proper meal built in. It also keeps the excursion practical for travelers who want an all-in-one day without arranging food separately.

  3. Antalya City Tour Route · 5 stops Panoramic Boat -> Duden Waterfall -> Karpuzkaldiran Waterfall -> Kaleici -> Old Harbor Boat Tour
  4. Panoramic Boat

    The route opens with a panoramic boat experience that gives Antalya's coastline an immediate visual frame from the water. Seeing the cliffs, harbor area, and city edge from the sea helps place the rest of the day in context before the waterfall and old city sections begin.

  5. Duden Waterfall

    Duden Waterfall brings the first real shift in atmosphere, from the open viewpoint to a shaded, green setting where the water falls through a carved rock channel before spreading toward the sea. The site is accessible, photogenic, and genuinely refreshing during summer heat, which makes it more than a scenic pause. It also helps explain how Antalya's dramatic cliff landscape connects with the inland water systems feeding the coast.

  6. Karpuzkaldiran Waterfall

    Karpuzkaldiran Waterfall stands apart from the first waterfall stop because here the flow drops directly over the cliff face straight into the Mediterranean below. That sea-facing plunge makes the scene dramatically different from a park waterfall and gives the coastline one of its most photographed moments. Standing at the viewpoint also shows how the entire limestone cliff system runs along Antalya's shoreline in a continuous dramatic wall.

  7. Kaleici and Hadrian's Gate

    Kaleici is the old quarter where two thousand years of Antalya's history can be read in a single short walk. Roman walls from the second century, Ottoman timber houses leaning over cobblestone lanes, and the monumental triple arch of Hadrian's Gate all occupy the same compact neighborhood. Walking here slows the day's pace in exactly the right way, shifting from waterfall viewpoints to the kind of intimate urban history that makes the city feel genuinely ancient.

  8. Old Harbor Boat Tour

    The harbor boat tour provides the day's final and perhaps most unexpected perspective by showing Antalya from the sea level, looking back toward the cliff-top walls and towers of Kaleici. That maritime vantage point turns a city you have just walked through into a layered coastal fortress, visible all at once from the water. The boat also passes the Roman harbor walls, which helps put the entire day's sightseeing into one clear geographical frame.

  9. 17:00

    Return transfer to your hotel.

    At the end of the city route, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Antalya. Hotel drop-offs may continue slightly beyond the listed end time depending on the order of the route. Your Antalya Old City Tour ends with the hotel return.

Highlights

What Sets the Antalya Old City Tour Apart?

  • Kaleici is one of Turkey's best-preserved historical quarters, where Roman walls, Ottoman mansions, and Byzantine foundations still stand in the same narrow lanes.
  • Two waterfall stops add a natural counterpoint to the urban sections, giving the day a satisfying rhythm between stone architecture and open landscape.
  • The harbor boat section reframes the entire city by showing Antalya from the sea, where the cliffs and old walls form a skyline almost nobody sees on foot.
  • Hadrian's Gate marks the ceremonial Roman entrance to the old city and remains one of the clearest examples of ancient civic pride still standing in the region.
  • Lunch, guide, and hotel transfers are all handled, so the day works smoothly for first-time visitors without any separate logistics to manage.

For travelers who want to keep exploring after this historic Antalya day, the Demre, Myra and Kekova city tour follows the Lycian coast east, while the Antalya to Pamukkale day trip heads inland to the white terraces.

Wandered through Kaleici for a few hours with guide Burak and fell completley in love with Antalya. The Ottoman architecture is stunning, Hadrian's Gate took my breath away, and the old harbour was the most romantic spot. We ended at the Duden Waterfalls where water crashes from the cliffs straight into the Mediterranean. The mist on a warm day felt amazing. tbh this tour made me want to cancel my beach days and just keep exploring the old city.

Hadrians Gate is so much bigger in person than I expected. Guide Emre walked us through every twist and turn of Kaleici and knew the story behind every buildin. We ended up at this tiny rooftop cafe overlooking the old harbour and honestly I could have sat there forever. The Mediterranean light hitting the Ottoman houses is somthing else.

We were staying in Antalya for the beach but this old city tour was the highlight of our whole trip tbh. Kaleici is absolutley beautifull and Guide Burak made every corner interesting. The Lower Duden Waterfall was spectacular too - water just pouring off the cliff into the Mediterranean. Photos dont do it justice.

Kaleici (old town) was so charming!! Narrow cobblestone streets, Ottoman houses, Roman gate, and that gorgeous harbor. Our guide knew every little alley and hidden courtyard. We saw Hadrian's Gate, the Yivli Minaret, and the old bazaar. Had Turkish tea at a rooftop cafe overlooking the Mediterranean. Such a lovely half day.

Kaleici old town blew me away. I came to Antalya for the beach resorts and almost skipped this tour but so glad I didnt. Hadrian's Gate is massive and beautful, the harbour is picture perfet, and the narrow streets are full of charm. Guide Tuna showed us hidden courtyards and told us stories about the Ottoman families who built these houses. The Duden Waterfall at the end was spectacular - water just cascading off cliffs into the sea.
