Antalya Old Town (Kaleici)
Old Town of Antalya is both the historic heart and the entertainment center of the city. Travelers can visit Roman marble arches and restored Ottoman mansions as they walk the cobblestone alleys by day. By night, you can enjoy a vibrant nightlife scene and romantic courtyard gardens.
Termessos
Termessos is a mountain fortress city famously bypassed and not conquered by Alexander the Great due to its impregnable position. It is one of the most atmospheric classical ruins in the Mediterranean with its cliffside amphitheater and vast necropolis of carved sarcophagi.
Olympos & Chimera
Olympos is the ruins of an ancient Lycian city with a serene pebble beach. On the slopes of nearby Mount Chimera, natural gas vents ignite flames on the rocky hillside, feeding the ancient legend that it was home to a fire breathing monster.
Phaselis
Phaselis was once a crucial maritime trading center. Visitors can explore a Roman aqueduct, walk down a paved avenue and swim in one of the bays beside the harbor ruins.
