Full Description
Your luxury Antalya day tour begins with a comfortable hotel pickup in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle. As you travel through the city, your professional local guide shares fascinating stories about Antalya's rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning natural landscape.
The first major highlight is the Olympos Cable Car — a truly spectacular ascent to 2,365 meters above sea level. As you rise from the coast to the mountain summit, breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and Antalya's picturesque harbor unfold before you. At the top, take a leisurely walk or relax at the charming summit café with a cup of traditional Turkish tea or coffee.
Next, step back in time as you explore Kaleiçi, Antalya's beautifully preserved historic Old Town. Wander through narrow cobbled streets lined with Ottoman-era architecture, boutique shops, and cosy local cafes. Your guide will bring to life the stories behind landmark sites including Hadrian's Gate — a magnificent Roman triumphal arch built in 130 AD — the elegant Seljuk-era Fluted Minaret, and the iconic medieval Clock Tower. Enjoy free time to browse local markets, sip tea in a traditional tea house, or stroll down to the ancient harbor.
From the Old Town harbor, board your boat for a relaxing one-hour cruise along Antalya's stunning coastline. Take in sweeping views of the ancient city walls, the Taurus Mountains, and the deep blue Mediterranean — and witness the dramatic Karpuzkaldıran (Lower Düden) Waterfall as it thunders 40 meters directly into the sea from towering cliffs — a view only possible from the water.
Midway through the day, enjoy a satisfying lunch at a charming local restaurant featuring authentic Turkish cuisine, with beautiful views to accompany your meal.
The tour continues to the Upper Düden Waterfalls, a peaceful natural oasis nestled amid lush greenery close to the city centre. Hidden caves, walking paths, and cascading waters make this a perfect spot for photographs and quiet reflection before your comfortable transfer back to the hotel.
