2. Patara Beach

This 12-mile long beach is also a National Park. Its proximity to the ruins keeps hotels from developing in the area, making it great for uncrowded swimming as well as bird watching.

One of the best beach around Fethiye with soft sand. (50 km) - 2nd longest beach in Turkey (12 km) - You should check Patara Ancient City and Saklıkent Gorge - The beach hosts Caretta carettas - Take a picture on sand hill in sunset time.
3. Kaleici

4.5 based on 5,182 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 Moumita - New Delhi, India
One of my most memorable places that I have visited and stayed at is Kaleici. Its a beautiful old town with old cobbled streets, a lovely old harbour with beaches and lovely views, amazing places to shop for local handicrafts and souvenirs as well as carpets and leather goods, and a foodie heaven with awesome street food as well as fine dine places. The area should be explored on foot, with myriad lanes and by-lanes taking you to different historical sites that add charm to the whole experience. One of the oldest Turkish bath houses is also to be found here, which I chanced upon during just walking around and soaking in the atmosphere. on weekends, the whole street near the old harbour turns into a pub, with restaurants and pubs playing live music and serving food outside on the street.. Its a not to be missed place for travellers who love to explore!

A series of flames that spurt from cracks in the rock, which are caused by the combustion of natural gas seeping out of the mountain at the ancient site of Olympos.

It’s very easy to reach from Cirali. We went during sunset. Bring Moskito Spray. Ancient Gods and creatures used to hang out there. It’s fascinating to see this place. Entry fee was 9 TL
5. Perge Ancient City
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,743 reviews
The historical site of Perge, 18 kilometers east of Turkey, holds the vast remains of what was once the most propserous city of the ancient world. Enter by passing through the arch of the Roman Gate to be greeted by an amphitheater, the Hellenistic Gate (quite well preserved) and richly decorated remains of the city wall and much more.
Reviewed By Metaldread
Perge is great. In fact it was captured by Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC. Then it became a has-been when the river serving the bustling port silted up leaving the harbour 12k from the sea, about as useful as a lighthouse in the desert. The Romans left and nothing else happened until excavations began in 1947 and this gem of a city was slowly revealed. Excavations and reconstruction work continue to this day. I last visited in 2011 since when the North Gate, a major East-West colonaded street and a nymphonium have been opened along with access to the Acropolis on top of the hill. It boasts a Triumphal Arch, 14k seat amphitheatre and 12k seat stadium, marble-columned colonades, decorative fountains and a waterway cascading down the main street. It's better appointed than most present-day High Streets. Highly recommended if you are in Antalya.
6. Aspendos Ruins and Theater
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,215 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.
Reviewed By ramilk2013 - Moscow, Russia
We have visited various historical sites in the Antalya region and can say that the Aspendos amphitheater is the best preserved. This is a wonderful place for cultural enlightenment and walking through the archaeological monuments of the ancient city. I note that most of the city and its facilities are located on a hill, where not everyone goes. If you have baby strollers, then unfortunately you couldn't go to the aqueduct, you should take a baby stretcher.
7. 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! :)

9. Red Tower
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Jane2003rugby - Kingston-upon-Hull, United Kingdom
The Red Tower is located at the end of the harbour, just up from the jetty. The opening hours where 9.00 am - 19.00 pm in the summer. Entrance fee was 7 TL or 10 TL with the Shipyard or 14 TL with Shipyard & Damlatas cave. Four floors to visit, plus the turret with fantastic views at the top. As this is a medieval tower, there are lots of steep ,narrow, steps to climb, so not suitable for people with disabilities, or small children. Displays, models, old photos, on each floor. A must do, is on the second floor, walk out onto the old walls, the only way you can access it, again great views, but a lot of people miss it.
10. Koprulu Kanyon Milli Parki
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 482 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.
Reviewed By AnnBlacksea - Samsun, Turkey
This national park can be visited at any time of year. In the summer or Spring you can go canoeing and whitewater rafting. If you do not want to go on a tour then just drive to the park and you can easily find other independent people looking to split the cost and go rafting. The price will include all the equipment,bringing you back to the start and lunch. I can highly recommend doing this! If you are not so active there are amazing views, picnic spots and lovely walks a long the river. There are two Roman bridges which should not be missed. The scenery is particularly spectacular in autumn with all the different colors of the leaves.
