What to see near Antalya City Center
Hadrian's Gate — A triple-arched marble gateway built in 130 AD to honour the Roman emperor Hadrian's visit — the grand entrance to Kaleiçi.

Local tips
• Kaleiçi is steep and cobbled — wear comfortable shoes and explore on foot. • Visit the Antalya Museum early; it pairs well with a morning before the midday heat. • Take a short harbour boat trip from Kaleiçi marina to see the cliffs and Lower Düden falls from the sea.

Traveller reviews
Lunch was basic, but the waterfalls and Old Town made the tour worth booking.
Kaleici was the best part for me. We had time for coffee and a quick look in the small shops.
Clean minibus, friendly guide, and enough stops to keep the day from feeling too long.
The balance was right: a bit history, a little free time, a short boat trip, and the waterfall. I liked that we were not marched around every minute. The minibus stayed cool, which mattered because it was a very hot day. For staying in Side, this was a convenient way to see Antalya properly.
The boat tour from the harbor gave a good view of the cliffs. Short but worth doing. Tbh, we were happy with it.
We took loads of photos and still had time to wander. Very easy day out.
