Find your Antalya experience
Three days: one direction each day
Use each day for one geographic commitment. The only booked anchor in the default plan is the eastern ruins circuit; the city and coast days remain flexible.
- Day 1: Hadrian’s Gate, Kaleiçi and old harbour; finish at Karaalioğlu Park.
- Day 2: choose Konyaaltı public shore or the Lara and Lower Düden side of the coast.
- Day 3: Perge, Aspendos and Side on the reviewed guided circuit.
- Before travel: compare circuit dates, pickup and admissions.
- Day order: place the ruins day on its available date; the old-town walk can move around it.
Day 1: Kaleiçi and the harbour
Keep the first day walkable. A guide buys interpretation, while the outdoor route and Mevlevihane Museum can be visited without attraction admission.
- Enter Kaleiçi at Hadrian’s Gate and walk toward the Yivli Minaret precinct.
- Use Mevlevihane Museum as the indoor stop while its free access remains available.
- Descend to the old harbour, then finish beyond Hıdırlık Tower in Karaalioğlu Park.
Good to know
- Antalya Museum is currently closed; do not reserve this day around it.
- Check a guided walk’s meeting point if interpretation matters more than a fully independent morning.
On your own
Free exterior route and flexible harbour time.
With a guide
The reviewed old-town walk adds context, not exclusive access to outdoor landmarks.
Day 2: choose one shore
Treat the western Konyaaltı shore and the eastern Lara–Lower Düden side as alternatives. Changing coasts halfway through spends the relaxed part of the day in a vehicle.
- For a beach day, start at the municipality’s Konyaaltı public shore and stay west.
- For a viewpoint day, head east to Lower Düden’s coastal drop and continue toward Lara.
- Allow your return from the coast you chose; avoid a second cross-city loop.
Good to know
- The public beach is distinct from private beach clubs and their charges.
- Lower Düden drops from coastal cliffs; a tour saying only “Düden” needs its stop checked.
Konyaaltı
Choose a public beach day and skip the eastward transfer.
Lara and Lower Düden
Choose a cliff-and-waterfall day.
Day 3: eastern ruins from US$85
The eastern ruins deserve their own day. The reviewed circuit solves the transfers and includes named attraction admissions; an independent driver gives each site more time.
See the Perge, Aspendos and Side option
- Confirm pickup and the option with all attraction admissions included.
- Start at Perge’s streets and stadium; its theatre is closed for restoration.
- Continue to Aspendos Theatre, then Side’s peninsula and return to Antalya.
Good to know
- The reviewed TG1 option includes admissions; another option of the same product excludes key entries.
- A multi-site circuit limits time at each stop. Choose fewer sites with a driver if depth matters more.
| Item | US$ per adult | € |
|---|---|---|
| Perge, Aspendos and Side circuit, from | US$81.24 | ≈ €74 |
| Named site admissions added to TG1 | US$0 | ≈ €0 |
On your own
Hire a driver or car; arrange admission separately and control your time.
With a guide
The reviewed TG1 circuit includes pickup and admissions, with less independent time.
The reviewed circuit starts from US$85; check your date and included admissions.
Prices checked 18 Sep 2026 · per adult, selected experiences only; food and independent transport excluded
If you have two days
Cut the long eastern circuit. Two full days still give you a walkable historic centre and one coast without rushing between distant ruins.
- Day 1: Kaleiçi, old harbour and Karaalioğlu Park.
- Day 2: choose Konyaaltı public shore or Lara with Lower Düden.
- If archaeology is your priority, replace the coast with one eastern ruins tour.
If you have a fourth day
Choose a separate mountain day at Termessos if you want walking and ruins in a wilder setting. Keep it separate from the eastern circuit.
Good to know
- Termessos sits in Güllük Mountain National Park; its ruins require a climb and suitable footwear.
- The reviewed guided hike has a separate entrance charge; compare the current checkout total and verify pickup.
- A slower alternative is another beach or old-town day without a second archaeological transfer.
Facts that shape the trip
Check current access just before travel. Closures and product-option differences can change which day you place first.
Good to know
- Antalya Museum is closed; Mevlevihane Museum is the city-day indoor alternative.
- Perge theatre is under restoration; focus on accessible parts of the ancient city.
- The reviewed eastern circuit’s TG1 includes admissions; another option excludes key entries.

When the booking changes the trip
Pay for a guide for Kaleiçi interpretation, bundled transfers and admission across eastern ruins, or a supported mountain hike. Keep the public old-town and beach days independent if that suits you.

Is two days enough for Antalya?
Yes for Kaleiçi and one coast. Replace the coast with a ruins tour if ancient sites are your priority.
