Beautiful park with magnificent view. 1. If you are into history, you can see the Hidirlik Tower, a fortress which was built by the Romans in the 2nd Century CE. It is just a normal fotress but it fills the park with historical atmosphere. 2. If you are into photography, definitely bring your camera over there. You can take a panoramic pictures of the ocean in the park. 3. If you are into eating, there are also several places to eat in the park. 4. Enjoy :)
3. Lower Duden Waterfalls
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4,244 reviews
The Duden Waterfalls are actually two separate natural attractions within the City of Antalya. Upper & Lower Waterfalls.. Lower Duden Waterfall is a spectacular cascade that occurs as the Duden River spills off the Antalya City cliffs into the sea. You can feel the droplets of amazing Duden Waterfalls ending at the mediterranean, swim nearby and enjoy the mesmerizing sightseeings of the city, mountains and forests by the Antalya Shores. Shoot some attractive photos to share with friends and family on a daily private boat trip. The Upper Duden Waterfalls are a series of small cascades in a tranquil municipal park. When visiting the upper falls within the park, don't miss climbing down a spiral staircase that leads into a cave behind the waterfalls. This experience affords fabulous views through a curtain of falling water.

It's a really stunning place, either if you decide to visit it from the cliff (there's a nice spot where you can take great pictures) or by boat or even renting a kayak (if you're hotel is nearby - like it was mine, Lara Hotel) its definitely a unique spot around Antalya! :)

Kurşunlu Waterfall National Park is a natural wonder where you can breathe and cool off in a hot city like Antalya, where you will find peace in many shades of green. It is easy to access and there is no parking problem. You buy tickets for a small fee and enter the park. A few cafes welcome you as soon as you enter. From there, you go down the stairs and you will face with the wonderful waterfall. If you want, you can pass behind the poured water through natural tunnels and you can touch the water. It is said that the water level changes from time to time. The event doesn't stop here after seeing the waterfall. You continue walking with the paths and bridges formed in a 2-kilometer-long lush canyon and finally return to the place where you entered again. In the meantime, while walking in the canyon, you will also find an excellent cafe. You should definitely see the Kursunlu Waterfall.
5. Old City Marina
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,556 reviews
Descend from Kaleici to the Antalya Marina via very steep stone steps. Bring sturdy shoes so as not to slip. It's well worth the effort because the marina is a lovely crescent-shaped place where fishing boats rub shoulders with smart yachts. Watch the fishermen sell their latest catch and chat with yacht owners. A few small cafes offer coffee or tea. Look back up toward the plateau, which forms the basis of Antalya and get a special view of the landmarks from down below.

Ending up the Kaleici tour at the Marina, and to continue from here with a boat trip on the bay, offers you a stunning view of the walled old city in contrast with the hypnotic turquoise sea. Plenty bars for a refreshing pit stop. The whole atmosphere is relaxing even if the area is always crowded of tourists. A gem of Antalya and for sure a must do tour!

Located in the center of the city, Yavuz Özcan is one of the most beautiful parks of Antalya. Miniature waterfalls, fountains, comfortable benches and changing colors of the lights in the evening make this green oasis a perfect stop to relax and enjoy between other activities.
8. Kaputas Beach

To get to this beach is directly on the D400 coastal road, amazing views! Depending on what direction you are coming from there is a little bridge connecting 2 mountains, looks spectacular. To access the beach you must walk down around 200 stairs which isnt too bad. Disabled people in a wheelchair cannot get here which is a real shame, disabled access would be a plus. I have a disability but used a walking stick to help me which wasnt too bad. You are able to rest on a small foot bridge halfway down and admire the beauty of this beach cove. There is a changing area, toilets and showers with mirrors and a place to wash hands. There are signs to wear mask and there is sanitiser to use freely. Once you get to the beach however, there are big stones and pebbles so be careful when walking, as you get closer to the sea, it turns to sand, not the softess but nice nontheless. The sun loungers are not that comfortable so be sure to bring comfy towels to lie on for extra cushioning. It is HOT down there and the sea is crystal clear with visible tiny fish so bring a snorkel kit if you like. Its best to get there early if you want a nice view and have unobstructed views of sea, best times is to get there b4 9am so you can get a nice spot without rushing. All in all a great relaxing beautiful beach, a must visit if you are in Kalkan.
