First at all I'd like to point that it is very difficult to find the place from the main road, because there aren't any signs of it, before you turn to the small road which will lead you to the Hip Notics. The place itself is nice. There are 3 lakes, pool, djacusi, restrooms, lockers (some of them need to be fixed). Parking is free, however you paying for regular board 10 euro and for the board which allows you to do obstacles another 15 euro. Don't forget the park fee which is 35 euro per person! They don't have a price list for you to check it, you gonna have to believe it what thay saying. Hold on, this is not it. You paying for Powered 9 TL even though it is 5 TL in the menu. They don't bother to change it. Park is great, but this is Turkey, guys, not the US or England. I don't understand why it costs less to do the same in Florida. Anyway, stuff is not that nice as people describing, they don't smile and helping you after you ask them couple of times. There is a nice guy, who was teaching my friend how to ride a boar, and the same guy is in charge for mild lake. His name is Sulaiman. Very nice person. All in all the time we spent there was good, however we here expecting more.
2. Koprulu Kanyon

4.5 based on 339 reviews
East of Anatlaya you'll find the clear and beautiful river Köprü. Shortly after Beskonak is the starting point of the canyon and a white water rafting tour. Two Roman Bridges mark the beginning. The canyon is 14k meters long.

What a wonderful and breathtaking experience. Stopped here for an hour or so and just marveled at the beauty of the natural wonders. The water here is clear but cold, lovely for a brisk dip to cool you down in the height of the season. The Ancient Bridge is a marvel to see.
3. Aspendos Ruins and Theater
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 962 reviews
The best-known attraction among the ruins of Aspendos is the great theater, an amazingly well preserved vestige of Roman architecture that may be as impressive as Rome's own Colosseum.

Come to Aspendos Theatre.... incredible view of history and not expensive. Bring the kids; there is ice cream and water outside.
Get away from Antalya Beaches and feed your mind. One of the few and rare 150 B.c. Ruins you can still see. Bring a camera and wear comfortable shoes... a must see!
4. Kekova Sound

Reviewed By lthomson_12 - Kolkata (Calcutta), India
We went to Kekova Sound on three different day trips by boat from Kas. Each time we discovered new things to see and learn. The ancient past of this area is fascinating and is apparent everywhere. The water is exquisite and we loved snorkelling in the various bays to see if we could find any ancient relics. Fresh fish at Simena Village for lunch was fabulous as was the home made icecream at Kalekoy. A great place to visit for all ages. Kids would love it.
5. Antalya Muzesi
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1 reviews
The museum contains 13 display halls with exhibits from the Paleolithic Age to Ottoman times. A special children's section offers activities to stimulate an interest in antiques and museums.
Reviewed By HolidayForUs - Bath, United Kingdom
This is one of Antalya’s largest museums and has thirteen exhibition halls and an open-air area. The museum describes the history of the Antalya area through models of how it developed through the ages followed by many of the artefacts found during archaeological excavations. There is an extensive display of statues from the Roman period (many from Perge) and some ornate sarcophagi, particularly the one showing the twelve labours of Hercules from Perge (apparently ‘smuggled’ abroad years ago but now recently returned).
There are other halls dedicated to church artefacts, coins, Islam and culture. The higher floors were very warm. There is a gift shop (reasonable prices) and a café alongside and an outside area, where there are more exhibits mainly from the Roman period.
Allow at least two hours for a visit.

Reviewed By Elle H - Sheffield, United Kingdom
Came here as part of the Thomas Cook "Sea to Sky Tour". Loverly place to walk around and look at the ruins, lots to look at with 3 Beaches including a sandy beach.
Recommend taking shoes to go into the water as still a lot of stones. Also take your own food and drink if needed as very limited choice to buy at the shop.
7. Goynuk Canyon

Reviewed By Tim_Millea - Yorkshire, England
It is walkable but for a short taxi ride, this little gem of natural beauty is well worth a visit while in Kemer. There are Maldives-style seated areas on stilts over the lake and river and simply but tasty food and drinks available (at reasonable charge).
8. Kaputas Beach

Reviewed By 979shireen - Kassandra, Greece
This is a tiny, secret, not too easy to access beach on the coast road between Kas and Kalkan, on a sharp bend in the road. You climb down many steps to this lovely place, but it's worth the effort. The backdrop is a sheer granite cliff face. Take a picnic with you, as having got down there, you may find that refreshments on offer are pricey! Can get crowded.
9. Kaleici

4.5 based on 3 reviews
The old city of Antalya contains many of the city's historic sites. Renovations to the marina and waterfront have added several hotels, restaurants and shops, making this a popular tourist destination.
Reviewed By Gerald G - London, United Kingdom
Located not too far from the old town, this place is full of everything to keep you entertained and not bored. There are bar's and several restaurants. My only complaint is that they seem to cater to only one type of music and the bars are over flowing...that's not fun. Give it a shot, it might be your taste.
10. Termessos
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 819 reviews
Approximately 34 kilometers northwest of Antalya lies Termessos and the beautiful Güllük Dagi National Park. The ancient Psidian city is built on a mountain platform, surrounded by pine woods and an abundance of rare plants. It’s one of the best preserved historical sites of Turkey and, due to its isolated location, an oasis of calm and tranquility.
Reviewed By RobinBegley - Rochester, United Kingdom
The road to Termessos is hard enough to find and the walk up through the woods passing some low ruins does not prepare you for the sight of the amazing Amphitheatre perched high on the mountain overlooking Antalya. The deep cisterns are also quite amazing. The whole site is deserted and quite mystical. Go in the late afternoon to avoid the heat and get the lovely low light and bring your camera. It doesn't feel like it was left nearly 2000 years ago. It's open from 8am to 7pm in the summer and till 5pm after the start of October. Wear sturdy walking boots and ideally tough trousers as much of the site is overgrown and you will be able to explore more of the ruins without bare legs.
