Kaleiçi Old Town — A maze of restored Ottoman-era mansions, boutique hotels, cafés and craft shops inside the original city walls. Yivli Minaret — The fluted 13th-century Seljuk minaret that is the symbol of Antalya, beside a former mosque complex.

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
I was nervous because I had never rafted before, but the safety briefing was clear and the guide watched everyone carefully. We got soaked almost immediately, which broke the tension and made everyone laugh. The route was long enough to feel like a proper rafting trip. I finished tired, cold, and very proud of myself.
Lunch after the rafting tasted great because everyone was starving. Simple but satisfying.
The guide taught us how to paddle together before the first rapid, which made the boat feel like a team.
Beautiful canyon views between the rapids. I didn't expect the scenery to be that good.
The rafting was better than I expected for such a reasonable price. Our guide taught us how to paddle together before the first rapid, and by the end our boat felt like a little team. The canyon scenery between rapids was beautiful and gave everyone a chance to breathe. Lunch was simple, but after the river it tasted great.
Our boat had mixed ages and the guide made everyone feel included.
