Discover the beauty, history, and Mediterranean charm of Turkey’s coastal gem with our full day antalya city tour. This guided experience combines natural wonders, cultural heritage, and stunning sea views all in one day. From cascading waterfalls to the old town’s winding streets and the glittering waters of the Mediterranean, every stop reveals a different side of Antalya.
Led by a professional, English speaking guide, this tour covers both the Upper and Lower Duden Waterfalls, the charming Kaleici Old Town, a scenic boat cruise, and the famous Tunektepe Cable Car viewpoint. Whether you’re a first time visitor or a returning traveler, the antalya city tour offers a perfect balance of exploration and relaxation.
Your antalya city tour begins with a morning pickup from your hotel. Sit back in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as your guide shares insights about Antalya’s geography and heritage.
The first stop is the Lower Duden Waterfall (Karpuzkaldiran) a spectacular cascade that plunges from 40 meters directly into the Mediterranean Sea. Capture incredible photos from the viewing platforms and enjoy the cool sea breeze as the mist rises from below.
Next, head to the Upper Duden Waterfall (Iskender Waterfall), located north of the city center. This lush green park offers walkways behind the waterfall and peaceful caves to explore. According to legend, Alexander the Great once watered his horses here.
Afterward, enjoy a delicious Turkish lunch at a local restaurant before visiting Kaleici (Old Town). Wander through its narrow cobblestone streets, lined with Ottoman houses, cafes, and artisan shops. You’ll see historical landmarks such as Hadrian’s Gate, Yivli Minaret, and the ancient harbor and have about 1.5 hours of free time to explore, shop, or enjoy Turkish coffee by the sea.
Continue with a one-hour Antalya boat tour departing from Kaleici Marina. As you sail along the coastline, admire the contrast between the ancient city walls and modern skyline, and witness the dramatic Lower Duden Waterfall from the sea a true highlight of the day.
Finally, ascend to the summit of Tunektepe Hill via the Antalya Cable Car (Teleferik) to take in panoramic views of the city, harbor, and Taurus Mountains. (Please note: the cable car may be temporarily closed due to maintenance.)
