Kaleici is a small historic part of Antalya’s modern city, also known as the
Old City of Antalya. In history it was once the sprawling modern Roman town,
then the Byzantine Empire, then Seljuks, and finally the Ottoman Turkish town. Hadrian’s Gate, also known as the Three Gates, is one
of Antalya’s most iconic landmarks — a magnificent triumphal arch built in
honor of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Another must-see is the city’s famous Broken
Minaret, part of the Korkut Mosque.
Originally constructed as a Roman temple in the 2nd century AD, this ancient
structure has witnessed centuries of transformation - from temple to church to
mosque - and its broken minaret stands today as a silent symbol of Antalya’s
rich and layered history.. Hıdırlık
Tower is one of Antalya’s
most striking landmarks, standing proudly at the point where Kaleiçi,
the city’s historic old town, meets Karaalioğlu Park. Built
of warm tawny stone, the tower is believed to date back to the Hellenistic
period, originally constructed on a square base and later
transformed into a circular tower in the 2nd century AD.
Throughout its long history, it is thought to have served as either a fortification
or a lighthouse, watching over the turquoise
waters of the Mediterranean. There will be local lunch break during the tour than
move on to visitng Duden Waterfalls. All the streams in the region flow toward the Mediterranean
Sea, cascading down the slopes of the Taurus Mountains — sometimes
