After breakfast journey start with the Antalya Old City (Kaleici) Marina tour, Clock Tower, Hadrian's Gate, Broken
Minaret, Hidirlik Tower: 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.. Hidirlik 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 above ground,
sometimes through hidden underground channels. Along their journey, they create
a series of beautiful waterfalls, more than twenty in total, each
offering a refreshing glimpse of Antalya’s natural beauty. End of the
transfer to hotel and rest of the day is yours. Dinner and Overnight
