12 Unmissable Things to Do In Antalya, Turkey’s Turquoise Coast

Located on the Turquoise Coast of Turkey is the stunning city of Antalya, known for its Roman and Greek history, blissful beaches, historic Old Town, and delicious foodie scene.

The historic marina surrounded by dramatic cliffs and ancient city walls, the long city beach with the Taurus Mountains looming in the background, and the charming old city of Kaleici, all make Antalya a photographer’s dream.

If you’re not sure what to do in Antalya, here are some unmissable attractions and places to see!

Explore the Old Town

The most interesting place to explore in Antalya is the old city, Kaleici. It’s surrounded by ancient stone walls, including a Clock Tower and a Roman Arch known as Hadrian’s Gate, named after the Roman Emperor Hadrian.

Be sure to check out the Yivli Minare Mosque, a 13th century mosque, and Sehzade Korkut Mosque, also known as “broken minaret mosque,” for some earlier examples of Islamic architecture.

Visit the Archeological Museum

The museum showcases the rich cultural heritage of the region, which has been influenced by various civilizations over millennia, including the Hittites, Lycians, Romans, and Byzantines.

Eat Until Your Heart’s Content!

My favorite meal is to split a kilmali pide (Turkish pizza with chopped meat) and then order Ali Nazik, a dish made with marinated lamb on a bed of mashed eggplant and topped with a yoghurt sauce.

Enjoy the nightlife of Kaleici

Kaleici is full of bars, or Meyhane (bars serving meze and light meals). There is always live music at Ayyas Meyhane in Kaleici, if that’s your thing.
