Following lunch, our journey continues to Karpuzkaldıran Waterfall, where the river dramatically cascades into the sea. Afterward, we’ll make our way to Kaleiçi, the charming old town located in the heart of Antalya’s city center. Here, you’ll have the chance to explore its narrow streets, rich with history, and capture memorable moments in this timeless setting.

The streets of Kaleiçi are like an open-air museum, filled with ancient ruins, beautiful mosques, and charming Ottoman houses. Hadrian’s Gate was a true architectural gem, making me appreciate the grandeur of the Roman Empire. Walking through the cobbled alleys, I enjoyed discovering hidden courtyards and traditional Turkish shops. Our guide was exceptional, providing deep insights and making history come alive. The harbor was another highlight, with its turquoise waters and breathtaking cliffs. I also loved the chance to interact with friendly locals, who shared their stories and traditions.
