Highlights
- Antalya Bazaar - 5 hours free time in old town of Antalya city!Antalya; The Magnificent City of the Mediterranean! The old town is fascinating place to walk around, full of history and beautiful buildings. Lovely old ottoman houses and great views of the water from the park. Old town museum, harbour, Hadrian’s Gate, broken minaret. “Kaleici in Antalya is a wonderful place to wander around and just take in the sights, sounds and aromas. From shops aimed at tourists to small art galleries. Wonderful examples of Ottoman architecture. The ideal place to stroll for a while, stop for a drink then stroll again. Some great boutique hotels and small pensions so you can stay in this ancient heart of Antalya. Each offers something a little special or different. One of my favourite places in Turkey.” In order to have a better timing or for some reason out of our control, the itineraries might be a little changed by our guide during the trips. The visits to some museums or ancient ruins may not be possible in cases of renovations etc. In the very hot months like July and August the visit or break times for open air museums and ancient ruins may be shorter than planned.

Great day out 🥰 - Such a great day. Small group...maybe 10 people altogether. Our guide was Umit and he was brilliant, plenty of information and advice plus he was fun. Our driver was fab too, despite the fact that he was being constantly cut up by other drivers. Kaleici old town was wonderful and we had plenty of time on our own to explore and take photos. On our way back we visited the huge waterfall which was beautiful and because we had such great weather we got the full rainbow effect. Excellent value for money and I would definitely recommend this trip.

Antalya bazaar, old town and port haven’t lost their charm - Old town, bazaar and port all located together. Very easy to get around and buy some nice souvenirs, Ena joy and drink and a meal.
Nice day cruises available. Be aware of the heat and humidity, drink lots of water. Really worth a visit and highly recommended

Disappointed. Poor use of time. Not as advertised. - Really disappointed with this day out.
The pick up was at 08:30 and drop off at 18:00 at our hotel in Side.
We had 3hr 45 mins in Antalya city centre which isn’t enough time in any major city to do more than one thing and meant more time travelling than in the city!
The Kaleci- old town - really is lovely but landing at 12:00 means not much is open and people - in July/summer tend to be at the beach.
Our tour had a scheduled stop at a waterfall on the way- but was NOT part of the tour we booked, so we we were given one unexpected hour here and this ate into our expected 5 hours of private time in the city making it less than 4 hours.
The waterfall was pretty but wasn’t a) enough to fill one hour of time and b) not included in the advertised tour from Viator - ‘Antalya City and Old Town Kaleci day trip from Side’ so it wasnt a nice bonus, as it meant we missed time in the city. Couldn’t do what I planned to in the city as a result.
Feels like a whole day largely wasted.
Don’t waste your time with this.
