What can you do in Antalya?
Whether you stay a weekend, a week, or a lifetime, there'll always be something new and different to experience in Antalya. The combination of vibrant city facilities, ancient customs and traditions, and stunning scenery ensure Antalya never grows old.
Kaleici
Take a step back in time and wander around the ancient streets of Kaleici - the old part of Antalya. With buildings and a street layout that date from pre-Roman times, Kaleici has, in the past, been part of the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire and the Ottoman Empire. Today it consists of an eclectic mix of intimate cafes, guest houses, artisan shops and street stalls. Whether you wish to pick up a souvenir or two or enjoy a leisurely coffee with a piece of lokum (Turkish Delight), Kaleici is a good choice.
Termessos
Located a short drive from Antalya (and also accessible by public transport), Termessos is thought to be Turkey's oldest settlement. Termessos is a Psidian city set on the side of a mountain in the beautiful Gullk Dagi National Park. Wander through the atmospheric ruins, set against the backdrop of forest and mountain peaks.
Lower Duden Waterfalls
There are several stunning waterfalls close to Atalya that are well worth a visit. Lower Duden Waterfalls are actually two sets of falls - the upper cascades are located in a tranquil local park, whilst the lower falls plunge dramatically into the Mediterranean. Whether you choose to swim near the lower falls or spend time in the park admiring the upper falls, these amazing natural attractions never fail to delight.

Barut Lara
A private resort that incorporates beautiful suites alongside private pools, gourmet dining, spa facilities and more, Barut Lara offers space, privacy and well-appointed facilities. If you want a discreet, comfortable and peaceful base from which to explore Antalya, the Barut Lara is a good option.
Olympos Lodge
If you love the idea of beachside, private accommodation, Olympos Lodge is ideal. Guests stay in well-appointed bungalows, dotted around a semi-tropical landscape.
