Duden waterfalls

The most important attraction of Antalya is the mighty waterfall. From a great height, the waters descend into the Mediterranean Sea. A modern park has been created around it, with a fully developed infrastructure. There is a cafe and a great walking path. This is Lower Duden in the Lara region. Finding a waterfall is not at all difficult. Every day a huge number of tourists make a pilgrimage to it.

In the north of the city, in Kepez, his “brother” waterfall Upper Duden lives. He’s not as tall or as popular. But it also deserves attention. It is located in a national park. An excellent observation deck has been built here. The waterfalls can be viewed through the cave. There is a pond with ducks. In general, it is nice and sincere here.

Kaleici

Kaleici can certainly be called the heart of Antalya. The story itself is collected here, which you can touch with your hands. Kaleici is an old town, the buildings in which have been preserved in their original form since the 19th century. And settlements arose here during the time of the Roman Empire.

The most famous historical monument is Hadrian’s majestic marble entrance gate (which serves as the entrance to the old city). The gate was built in the 1st century AD, when the Roman emperor Hadrian visited the city. The Hidirlik tower is located on the side of the sea. This ancient monumental building still stands as it was built in the 2nd century AD. Scientists are still debating what the tower actually served. Either a lighthouse, or a fortification, or a tomb. At the bottom of the tower, under the steep cliffs, is one of the oldest beaches in the city – Mermerli. There is a delightful view of the city and an amazingly clear sea.

The ancient Antalya port is located a couple of hundred meters away. The sights of Antalya are a picturesque piece of history that fits perfectly into modern times. Here you can go on a boat trip and admire the city. Or you can take a sea tram to the neighboring town of Kemer.
