Once seen simply as the gateway to the Turkish Riviera, Antalya today is very much a destination in its own right. Situated right on the Gulf of Antalya (Antalya Körfezi), the largest city on Turkey's western Mediterranean coastline is both classically beautiful and stylishly modern. At its core is the wonderfully preserved old-city district of Kaleiçi (literally 'within the castle'), which offers atmospheric accommodation in the finely restored Ottoman houses on its winding lanes. The old city wraps around a splendid Roman-era harbour with clifftop views of hazy-blue mountain silhouettes that are worth raising a toast to. Just outside of the central city are two beaches and one of Turkey's finest museums.

Antalya Itinerary: 3, 4, 5 or 7 Day Options

Co-Founder of The Turkey Traveler. Globetrotter, Adventurer, and Frequent Traveler to Turkey!

This website uses affiliate links. For more information, click here .

Antalya is one of our favorite regions in Turkey because it offers so much to see and do. It’s the perfect combination of historical landmarks, beaches, incredible natural beauty, hiking experiences, and more.

With so much to see and do, it can be a challenge putting together your Antalya itinerary, especially as the attractions you see will largely be determined by how long you have to spend and who you are traveling with.

To help you out, we’ve listed how we would spend 3, 4, 5, or 7 days in Antalya and our preferred route, so you can make planning your trip to Antalya an easy breezy process.

Planning a trip to Antalya last-minute?

Make sure you book your tours, places to stay, and airport transfers ahead of time to ensure availability!

Here is our recommended airport transfer in Antalya:

• Airport Shuttle From Antalya Airport To City Center (Best way to get into town!)

Here are our recommended tours in Antalya:

• City Tour w/ Cable Car, Boat Trip and Waterfall (A must-do In Antalya!)
• Suluada Island Boat Trip (Secluded island for swimming and snorkeling)
• Traditional Turkish Bath with Massages
• Taurus Mountains Full-Day Jeep Safari (Great for exploring off the beaten path)

Here are our recommended places to stay in Antalya:

• Sky Kamer Hotel Antalya (Has seaview rooms in the historic center!)
• Megasaray Westbeach Antalya (All-inclusive resort right on the beach!)
• Hostel Vauge (Most famous hostel in Antalya!)

How many days is Enough For Antalya?

The amount of time you spend in Antalya will largely depend on how much time you have on your vacation. 

If you’re planning an extended Turkey itinerary and visiting other parts of the country, you can see the highlights of Antalya in three days.

However, if you have more time at your disposal, do use it. We can think of enough attractions and activities to fill your diary for a week here, maybe even more.

But we would say that the optimal amount of time to spend in Antalya is 5-7 days, which gives you enough time to see the highlights of Antalya and take a couple of day trips.

Where to Stay In Antalya?

Before we get into the attractions and how to organize your Antalya itinerary, let’s quickly discuss the best neighborhood to stay in Antalya to maximize the use of your vacation time.

There are two places in Antalya you might consider staying. The first is the Old Town, which is ideal for first-time visitors, solo travelers, and those traveling on a budget.

The Old Town is the beating heart of Antalya and it’s well connected to many of the top attractions, such as the Hadrian’s Gate, Antalya Clock Tower, and some of the best dining options.

The second place you want to consider is along the coast. There are many world-class beach resorts in Antalya and they are not all located in the city of Antalya.

What many people don’t realize is that Antalya is a province, and has a city named Antalya after the province – I know, confusing right? 

So if you opt for a beach hotel make sure you have booked one in Antalya city OR you’ve hired a car. If you hire a car, it doesn’t really matter which hotel you book.

The Best Antalya Itinerary for 3 Days

We mentioned earlier that three days is the minimum amount of time you need in Antalya, and this is how we would spend those three days…

Day 1: Old Town Antalya

We recommend you spent your first day exploring the Old Town of Antalya and the attractions within Antalya City itself. After that, we can go and explore further afield.

Stop 1: Tünektepe Teleferik (Antalya Cable Car)

Perhaps the biggest attraction in Antalya is the cable car to the summit of Tünektepe, which sits at 1706 meters above sea level.

The cable car takes you to a viewpoint that offers breathtaking panoramic views of Antalya and the Mediterranean Ocean.

Before making your way back down, enjoy the restaurants with a view. You have your choice between a Pizza House, Tea House, or a traditional restaurant in Antalya , each offering incredible views from the building.

Or simply get an ice cream if you’re visiting during the summer. It only takes 10 minutes to reach the top (and back down again) so it’s something you can do either at the beginning or end of the day.

Stop 2: Walk Around the Old Town and Old Roman Harbor

The Old Town in Antalya is simply stunning. Also known as Kaleiçi , the historic center brings Antalya’s rich heritage to life.

 The historical city center, called “Kaleiçi” (or Old Town in English), sheds light on the cultural heritage of Antalya, where you can feel the spiritual and historical influences on the city.

Here you will find centuries old buildings and quaint cobbled streets, with mosques and parks around every corner. Simply wandering around the town is inspiring in itself.

Since the Old Town was built during the days before cars, you don’t see many vehicles here, so it makes for the perfect place to stroll around, delve into coffee shops and boutique stores, bazaars and antique shops, and simply soak it all up.

Of course, the most iconic feature of Old Town is the Roman Harbour, which was built more than 2,000 years ago as the base for the Turkish Navy.

Be sure to check out the glass elevator that connects the old town with the new.

Stop 3: Check Out Hadrian’s Gate

Located in Old Town Antalya, Hadrian’s Gate is one of the most historic landmarks of Antalya. The archway was built by the Roman Emporer, Hadrian, in the year 130. It’s the only remaining entrance from the Roman era.

The gate sits about 8 meters tall and dates back to the Roman era, but the upper part was rebuilt during the early 13th century by  Seljuk Sultan Alaeddin Keykubat I .

The gate is free to visit, but though it is small, don’t rush to see it. The ornate detailing of the gate is beautiful and tells the story of the Emporer and his family through statues and entablature.

Stop 4: Antalya Museum

Antalya’s history is long and storied, and the best place to learn all about it is at the Antalya Museum, otherwise known as the Antalya Archaeological Museum. The museum is one of the largest archeology museums in Turkey and features an impressive collection of ancient artifacts from the region, including Greek and Roman sculptures and mosaics.

One of the standout pieces was the statues from the city of Perge , depicting the Roman Emporers such as Plancia Magna, Emperor Hadrian, the Emperor Septimius Severus. The museum has thirteen halls, but these were found in the Hall of Imperial Statues.

I was also intrigued by the sarcophagi from ancient Roman burial grounds in the Sarcophagus Hall, each with unique carvings and inscriptions. The most beautiful was the Domitias sarcophagus, which is decorated with reliefs showing the twelve labors of Hercules. The hall features the sarcophagi of Heracles, Domitius Julianus, Domita Philiska, Aurelia Botiane and Demetria.

Overall, the Antalya Museum provided a fascinating glimpse into the region’s rich history. I highly recommend a visit for any history or culture enthusiasts. If you only have one day in Antalya to spend looking at museums, make sure it’s this one.

Stop 5: Suna & Inan Kirac Kaleici Museum

Located in the historic Kaleiçi district of Antalya, the Suna and İnan Kıraç Kaleiçi Museum is a combination of two lovingly restored homes from the 19th century, a Traditional Antalya House and the Aya Yorgi Church.

The houses contain a diverse collection of artifacts, ranging from traditional clothing and furniture.

One highlight is the Hagios Georgios Church, which contains Çanakkale ceramics that belonged to the Suna & İnan Kıraç collection.

With its unique blend of cultural treasures, the Suna and İnan Kıraç Kaleiçi Museum offers something for every history lover.

Stop 6: Visit Karaalioglu Park for Sunset

Karaalioglu Park is a large urban park that overlooks the Roman Harbor and Mediterranean Ocean. It’s full of green spaces, with colorful and exotic flowers, squares, and statues.

It also has three terraces overlooking the ocean, which has become a hotspot for locals and tourists alike to gather and watch the sunset.

Pack a picnic and watch the sun go down, after that, head to the famous Bar Street to experience Antalya’s amazing nightlife.

Day 2: Boat Trip from Antalya

For the second day, you’re going to need to pack your swimwear and towel because we’re going on a boat trip! There are many boat trips in Antalya , but we recommend the Pirate Boat Trip to Phaselis Bay because it’s the perfect combination of history and snorkeling, which is what boat trips are all about.

Stop 1: The Ancient Greek and Roman City of Phaselis

If you’re looking for a more historical boat tour, then the pirate boat from Kemer Beach to Phaselis Bay is the bout tour for you. As you discover the stunning bays around the Mediterranean ocean, you’ll be transported by a pirate-themed Gallion, which looks like something out of a Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

The ship will take you to the ancient Greek and Roman city of Phaselis, which is now an open-air  museum in Antalya . The city is now in ruins, which are said to date back to the 7th century BCE.

Wander around the agora and amphitheater, former Roman Baths, and aqueducts, before heading back to the ship to do some more exploring.

Stop 2: Snorkelling at Paradise Bay

You’ll have some time to swim in the shallow waters of Phaselis, before having lunch. Then, you’ll sail to Paradise Bay, which as you can imagine by the name, is a stunning beach. You might also get to see the beautiful Mehmet Ali Bükü bay for swimming if there’s time.

Stop 3: See the coral reefs at Alaca Water

The final stop on your journey is the Alaca Water, a gorgeous inlet filled with coral, which is the perfect spot to do some snorkeling before returning home.

The entire tour takes around 6-8 hours, so do plan for a full day.

Day 3: Beach Day

Bordering the Mediterran Sea, Antalya’s beaches are some of the best in the country. Matter of fact, the Turkish Riviera has the nickname Turquoise Coast. It would be a shame to come to this stunning coastal region in Turkey and not spend a day at the beach. 

Here are a few beaches we recommend adding to your 3-day Antalya itinerary…

Stop 1: Konyaaltı Beach

The first beach we suggest you visit is one that’s close to the city center. Konyaalti Beach is a stunning beach that stretches for 13 km, and gently declines into the clear turquoise water of the Mediterranean Sea, perfect for swimming!

Its gentle waves mean it’s a great beach to visit for families, and because it’s so large, you’ll find even when it’s crowded there is enough room for everyone.

The most magical part of swimming at Konyaalti Beach is having the dramatic Beydağları Mountains in the foreground. At certain times of the year, the mountains are topped with snow, which is a site to behold.  

Konyaalti Beach is a pebble beach, meaning the water stays clean and clear. You will find plenty of bathrooms, changing rooms, and showers available to use here too.

Stop 2: Lara Beach

Lara Beach is one of the most popular blue flag beaches on the Turkish Riviera. Boasting a long, sandy stretch of beach with crystal-clear turquoise waters, it is no wonder why Lara Beach in Antalya is so popular with visitors.

Lined with sun loungers and umbrellas that are available to rent for a low fee, this soft-sand beach is perfect for sunbathing and a must-visit on your trip to Antalya. You will be spoilt for choice with beach clubs and nice dining options to enjoy lunch overlooking the beach. 

Located east of the city center, you can easily reach Lara Beach within 50 minutes using public transport or by car in 30 minutes. There are many facilities nearby, such as showers, bathrooms, and places for you to change. 

Stop 3: Archaeological Museum in Side

To break up the journey from Antalya to Cleopatra Beach, we recommend stopping in Side. There are some fantastic beaches in Side, but it’s also a great place to grab some lunch or visit the iconic Side Museum, the archeological museum here.

Side Museum is a fascinating museum set in a former ancient bath house (Agora Bath) which is thought to have been built in the 2nd century AD.

The rectangular bathhouse is made up of five rooms; a cold room, a sweat room, two warm rooms, and hot room.

Today the museum is no longer a bath, but a museum showcasing the artifacts uncovered during exvacations of sites in the Side region between 1947 – 1967.

The museum contains statues, sarcophagi, ceramics, and glass and bronze findings. You can also see coins belonging to both the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods.

Stop 4: Cleopatra Beach

Lastly is Cleopatra Beach, which is the furthest beach from Antalya city, but is definitely worth the trek.

Named after the Egyptian queen herself, Cleopatra Beach is renowned for incredible blue waters, swimming, water sports, and great facilities. This famous blue-flag beach is situated in the small town of Alanya, a  popular destination for families  and international travelers alike.

The main characteristic of Cleopatra Beach is that it is a white sand beach. As well as the beach, there are many things to do in Alanya that make it worth a couple of days of your time if you can spare it. You will easily find great hotels, restaurants, and bars along the promenade, all of which are located near the beach to maximize the summer holiday experience.

The main beach is around two kilometers from the center of  Alanya  and is reachable by public transport.

If you are looking to partake in some water sports on your summer holiday then head to Cleopatra Beach and try your hand at sailing, kite surfing, or scuba diving.

The Best Antalya Itinerary for 4 Days

If you’re planning a 4-day Antalya itinerary, we recommend following the itinerary above, and on the fourth day, we are going to travel outside the city of Antalya.

We’re going to take a day trip from Antalya to some of the most fascinating historical landmarks in the area, and step back in time (metaphorically) to the Ancient City of Perge…

Day 4: Ancient City of Perge, Temple Of Apollo, and Aspendos Theatre

Visiting the Ancient City of Perge is a full day trip from Antalya, so set aside a full day to explore the city and its nearby historic attractions.

Stop 1: Ancient City of Perge

The Ancient City of Perge is a short distance outside Antalya city and was originally an ancient Lycian city, which later became the ancient Greek city of Pamphylia.

Pamphylia was the capital of the Roman province which is now called the Antalya Province, and so was a hugely important city in ancient times. It was even the birthplace of the famous Greek mathematician Apollonius of Perga.

Today the city lies in ruins, but it’s still possible to make out where buildings, temples, and rooms once were by the remaining columns and walls.

Although you’re tempted to look up at the imposing columns of The Agora or be amazed at the well-maintained amphitheater, be sure to look down, and take a glimpse of the long central water channel that runs through the middle of the main street.

This channel contained a series of pools that were used to keep citizens cool in the arid climate.

Stop 2: Aspendos Ancient Theater 

Located not too far away near the city of Side, is the Aspendos Theater . Aspendos was an ancient Greco-Roman city, and though much of the city is in ruins, the ancient theater is remarkably well preserved.

It is said that the construction of the theatre was the result of a competition by Marcus Aurelius, the Emporer of the time. The competition was to build a structure that would bring prosperity and wealth to the city, and the winner of the competition got to marry his daughter.

According to legend, two competitors made it to the finals, one of them constructed the aqueduct and the canal system which supplied the city with running water, and the other built the theater.

When the ruler came to inspect the theater, he stood at the highest point of the structure and heard a whisper, telling him that his daughter was to be the wife of the builder. When he turned to the stage, he saw the builder standing there and was so impressed by the acoustics, awarded him the winner.

Stop 3: Temple of Apollo

Back towards the city of Side, lies The Temple of Apollo, a Roman temple built roughly around 150 A.D. It was dedicated to Apollo, the Greek and Roman god of music, light, and harmony.

Today only five columns remain of the temple, which stands tall against a backdrop of the Mediterranean Ocean behind.

There is not much to see, but it’s worth swinging by since it’s on the way back to Antalya.

Stop 4: Kursunlu Waterfalls

The Kursunlu Waterfall is the perfect place to cool off after a day of exploring. On your way back towards Antalya, stop off at the Kursunlu Waterfall Nature Park, a 587-hectare green space with plenty of trails, picnic areas, and recreation space.

Inside the park stands an 18-meter waterfall that empties into 7 smaller pools, and is surrounded by gorgeous natural beauty. Unfortunately, this is not a place where travelers can swim in.

The water that flows down the river is a deep, rich, blue color and offers visitors a nice backdrop for their photos. Another beautiful feature is a green, mossy wall behind the waterfall.

The walk to the waterfall is around two kilometers. However, for those who are keen hikers, there is a longer option through the national park that takes three hours and follows along the river. Visitors can even go behind the Kurşunlu Waterfall to a hidden cave to take photos and cool off with the spray from the water. 

There is a small fee to enter, but the park is well equipped with toilets, paved paths, free parking, Turkish restaurants, and more for visitors to enjoy.

The Best Antalya Itinerary for 5 Days

If you have 5-days in Antalya, then we recommend following the Antalya itinerary above and spending your fifth-day hiking. Antalya is surrounded by mountains and stunning nature, so go out and explore it!

Day 5: Hiking and Whitewater Rafting in Koprulu Canyon

You’ll need to allow a full day to explore the beauty of the Kaprulu Canyon. Make sure you pack a change of clothes as you’re going to need them after you’ve been white water rafting!

Stop 1: White Water Rafting

The Koprulu Canyon National Park is an area of outstanding natural beauty just outside the city of Antalya. It’s filled with pine forests, mountainous hiking trails, and of course, the beautiful Koprulu Canyon with the Köprü River running through it.

One of the most popular things to do at Koprulu Canyon is to engage in watersports, such as white water rafting, kayaking or canoeing.

Whitewater rafting is certainly the most adventurous, and if you have never done it before, this is the perfect place to try it.

The white water rafting route splits into two canyons, one is a narrow canyon with warm water and surrounded by sheer rock cliffs, while the other is wide, with cold water and surrounded by forested cliffs and natural waterfalls.

The diversity of the route makes it incredibly fun. You get the thrill of adventure mixed with the serene beauty of nature around you.

Some of the water is quite rocky and has fast-flowing water, so children under 10 are not allowed with most tour companies.

As you sail down the waters, be sure to keep your eyes on the lookout for the Oluk Bridge and Bugrum Bridge on the Kocadere Stream, which are some excellent examples of Roman engineering.

Stop 2: Quad Bike or Hike in the Pine Forest

After white water rafting, it’s time to explore the natural beauty of the park. Head out on one of the several hiking trails, or better yet, climb on a quad bike and soar through the trails in the pine forest!

Stop 3: Zip Line Experience

If you haven’t had enough adrenaline for one day, finish off with a zip-line experience! The zip line course in Koprulu Canyon has a 250-meter rope that extends over Kopru Cay. 

Whizz through the air and soar above the canopies of the trees and take in the scenes of the river below. The whole ziplining experience only takes about half an hour so it’s the perfect end to an action-packed day!

Seven Day Itinerary for Antalya

If you have a full week at your disposal, then we recommend you follow the itinerary for Antalya above, and on the sixth day go West towards Kemer and visit the Lycia Rock Tombs and The Sunken City of Kekova.

These are two iconic historic landmarks in Turkey and offer a unique glimpse into another era in the past.

Use your seventh day as a buffer day to see the attractions you weren’t able to get to and do all the things you missed. There are always more beaches to see, or you can go and take a refreshing dip in one of Antalya’s waterfalls , such as the Upper Duden Waterfalls.

We all need a little relaxation, and no doubt you’ve got your eyes set on one of Antalya’s world-class resorts. So why not enjoy the facilities a little? 

We’re not the type of traveler to spend the whole time in the hotel, but if you’re paying for the facilities, make sure you use them. Spend the morning splashing in the pool or check out the spa.

Getting Around Antalya

Antalya is very easy to get around. The city of very walkable, since most of the main attractions is located in the Old Town, which is also within walking distance of the main beach in Antalya.

There is a public bus network that takes you out of the main city to some of the beaches in the Antalya region, and it’s also possible to do some of these day trips on the public bus too.

However, we don’t recommend it. Buses don’t run as frequently as you would need them to in order to maximize time and they also run on Turkish time, meaning they might not show up at the time they are scheduled.

If you can, we recommend hiring a car. This way you can easily drive from place to place without having to worry about whether the bus will turn up or not.

Of course, if you don’t drive, it’s entirely possible to do it all using public transport but there may be some attractions on this list you will need to skip – or you just stay longer.

Tips for Visiting Antalya

To help you have the best trip to Antalya, here are a few words of advice:

• Go slow and don’t try to pack it all in. I know these itineraries are jam-packed, but you’re going to exhaust yourself trying to see every beach and historical landmark.
• Hire a car. It will honestly save you so much time and stress by doing everything yourself and driving.
• Download the MapsMe App. This is an offline satellite GPS and is perfect for those who are planning on hiking around Antalya as you can follow the trails offline. 
• Prepare for hot weather. Being by the coast, Antalya has a lovely sea breeze which can often make you forget about how hot it is. Wear sun protection and a sun hat and make sure you drink plenty of water, even if you don’t feel like you need it.
• Take out cash . Some establishments in Antalya don’t accept credit cards.

When Is The Best Time To Visit Antalya?

Antalya is an all-year-round destination, so the best time to visit Antalya largely depends on your preferences for weather and crowd sizes.

If you prefer warm weather and don’t mind the heat and big crowds, the best time to visit is between June and September. July is the hottest month with daily maximum temperatures averaging around 35°C.

However, if you’re looking for more mild weather, the periods from March to May and October to November are considered ideal. During this time, the weather is generally pleasant throughout the day and you can enjoy all the things to do in Antalya including swimming in the sea, sunbathing on the beach, exploring the Old Town, and much more.

How To Get To Antalya, Turkey?

There are many ways to get to Antalya, but for the majority of the travelers, you’ll be getting to Antalya with one of the following three ways:

Flying to Antalya is perhaps the easiest way to get to Antalya. Antalya has its own airport called the Antalya Airport (AYT) and it is about 13.5 km (8.4 mi) away from the historic center – Kaleici. It takes around 30 minutes to drive from the airport to the Kaleici, however, it could take considerably longer when there is traffic, which is quite often.

Getting From Antalya Airport To Historic City Center

Getting to Antalya Airport to the historic center is very easy, especially since there is a tram line that takes you within walking distance from the Kaleici. The T1A AntRay Tram departs just outside of Antalya Airport and takes a little over an hour to get to the city center. It is the cheapest and most efficient way to get into the city.

Turkey has an extensive network of long-distance buses and minibusses that can take you to pretty much anywhere you want. If you want to get to Antalya by bus, you’ll need to take a long-distance bus from anywhere in the country to Antalya Şehirlerarası Otobüs Terminali , Antalya main bus station.

From there, you can take a tram straight into the city center.

By Rental Car

If you have rented a car in Turkey, then it is easy to get to Antalya. Turkey’s highways and roads are generally in good conditions, but please beware of reckless drivers. There tend to be a lot of aggressive ones.

Renting a car in Antalya is also a good option, because there are many day trips and attractions in the surrounding region worth checking out. Hidden gems like Kas, Side, Alanya, Aspendos, and Kemer are great to visit for those with a car.

Visiting Antalya FAQs

What is the best month to visit antalya.

The best month to visit Antalya largely depends on your preference. If you want to enjoy a tropical beach holiday, then the months of June, July and August are ideal for that. If you want a holiday with a wide variety of things to do, then the shoulder months of March, April, September, and October are perfect.

Is December a Good Time to Visit Antalya?

While it is not as sunny or warm as the summer, December can be a good time to visit Antalya. The average temperatures in Antalya in December range from 12°C to 16°C with a chance of rain. However, this is considerably warmer and more pleasant than many parts of the world, especially in Europe.

Is Antalya Turkey Expensive?

Antalya Turkey is not expensive, especially when compared to other destinations around the world. Budget travelers can get around with spending only around $40 USD a day per person.

Is Antalya Turkey Worth Visiting?

Antalya is most definiltey worth visiting. The coastal city in Turkey has rich history, beautiful beaches, turquoise Caribbean waters, and delious Turkish food. Not to mention, it is very cheap, especially compared to many parts of Europe.

Final Thoughts on Antalya Itinerary

So there you have it, this is how you can spend your days in Antalya, and as you can see, there is a LOT to see and do.

No matter how many days you plan to spend in Antalya, we know you will have a great trip.

Do you have any questions about this itinerary? Let us know in the comments.

Hi is antalya good to visit in november… beaches can be seen .. what do you recommend for november

Hi Chaya, yes Antalya would be good to visit in November. The weather is usually warm in the day time and good for a couple of hours on the beach, though it can get cold in the evenings. There’s not much chance of rain. It will be quiet in terms of tourism that time of year, but tours will still operate so you can see all the attractions. I definitely recommend visiting the Ancient City of Perge – it was a highlight on our trip to Antalya. If you like walks, it’s the perfect time of year to do hiking. You can hike a portion of the Lycian Way in a day.

Holidays in Antalya: When to go, how to get there

Antalya's hilly terrain and mountains make it ideal for both summer or winter travel. In the winter the main attraction is skiing. In the summer, enjoy the Mediterranean weather: hot during the day and warm at night. Take along shorts and light cotton clothing for the summer months. There is one international airport -- Gazipasa International -- and once you've arrived, buses and taxis are available to take you where you need to go to start your holidays in Antalya right away.

Visit the museums and ruins of Antalya

There is something to stop for in every city you visit on your Antalya holidays. Take a guided tour of the ruins at Perge and Termessos, or climb the ancient ruins of Hierapolis and Pamukkale and find yourself immersed in the Greek, Roman and Byzantine culture of the past. Be sure to wear comfortable hiking shoes and bring plenty of water to hydrate. And your Antalya holidays would be incomplete without a visit to the Antalya archaeological museum and the Suna Museum in Antalya's Kaleici district. Take a day-trip to the city of Side and stay for the night-life: there are numerous bars and restaurants, and clubs if you feel like dancing.

Antalya Holidays: Golf

About an hour's drive from Antalya is the town of Belek, which has become the place to go if you're looking for a golfing holiday. The town and surrounds offer more than ten world-class golf courses that take you from sandy dunes into lush green tropical scenery.

4 Days in Antalya – Best Antalya Itinerary

4 days in Antalya may or may not be enough to discover the beauties of this famous resort on the Turkish Riviera.

In my opinion, four days is the minimum for the best Antalya itinerary, enough to see many beautiful places in the city and nearby.

The best Antalya itinerary should combine the moments spent on the beaches in front of luxury hotels with those in which you can discover local life and culture.

You can do this on your own or by taking one of the most popular Antalya tours.

Antalya is one of the most popular destinations on the Mediterranean coast, with over 300 sunny days a year.

The resort at the foot of the Taurus Mountains offers many things for couples, groups of friends, and families with children.

In this article, I want to dispel the myth that a holiday in Antalya means 5-star all-inclusive resorts.

Indeed, it could be an option, but you’re in the right place if you genuinely wish to discover the city. There are so many excursions in Antalya worth taking.

How to get to Antalya

• By car – you can get to Antalya by car if you live in a close enough country. However, I would recommend this option only if you plan a road trip in Turkey , which involves several destinations in this country, not just a trip to Antalya. Thus, your car will be handy for you. Otherwise, I recommend the plane, especially if you only want to spend 4 days in Antalya.
• By plane – is the most convenient way to get to Antalya. There are plenty of direct flights to Antalya from most major European cities. As an idea, the price for a plane ticket to Antalya starts at 150 Euro round trip. The airport in Antalya is located only 15 minutes away from the city center.

What I use every time I travel:

• To book hotels: Booking.com
• To book tours:  GetYourGuide.com

Where to stay in Antalya

Before discussing the things to do in Antalya, we must decide where to stay in Antalya and what choices we have regarding locations.

Regardless of where you choose to stay, don’t forget that the real Antalya vacation is outside the resort and is well worth discovering.

However, we must admit that Antalya is one of the top destinations for 5-star hotels, and the services are extraordinary.

The best hotels in Antalya for each budget:

• budget: 
• Tekeli Konaklari   – A hotel located in the old town, Kaleici, only 3 minutes away from the beach. It has traditionally decorated rooms and a large swimming pool in the center; breakfast is included.
• GRAND MIR’AMOR HOTEL & Spa – All Inclusive   –  The second option for a slightly lower budget for Antalya is an all-inclusive resort located one hour from the city center but close to Camyuva beach. The resort is huge, and beautiful and has three swimming pools, a spa, a fitness center, and many other facilities.
• Akra Hotel   – Although it’s part of the average budget category for hotels in Antalya, Akra Hotel is a 5-star resort near Lara beach. You will have a sensational view of the sea and the Taurus Mountains from the room. The resort is perfect for spending 4 days in Antalya, having 4 swimming pools, bar, fitness, spa, and the rest I will let you discover. Check prices and availability here 
• Sealife Family Resort Hotel   – an all-inclusive budget option that offers all the facilities for a dream vacation in Antalya but also a direct view to Konyaalti beach and quick access to it
• luxury: 
• Lara Barut Collection-Ultra All Inclusive   – 8 à la carte restaurants, 3 swimming pools, spa with Turkish baths, beach, and fitness center. Should I continue? Lara Barut is an accommodation in Turkey Antalya that you can’t go wrong with
• Bayou Villas-Ultra All Inclusive   – Although it’s not a beachfront hotel, it’s a new, ultra-luxurious resort, a complex of ultra-modern villas with swimming pools and superb design that reminds me of Bali. It’s the most expensive accommodation in Antalya on this list, but ideal for a few unforgettable days in Antalya or a fairytale honeymoon

4 Days in Antalya – Best Antalya itinerary

4 days in antalya – day 1 , visit the old town – kaleiçi.

Now that we’ve determined your accommodation options, it’s time to discuss the places to visit in Antalya.

It’s best to start your holiday in Antalya with a walk through the old town , Kaleici. The cobbled streets will take you through whitewashed houses with red roofs, palm trees, ruins of fortified walls, colorful bazaars, and stalls with oranges and pomegranates.

The streets of Kaleici are over two millennia old and represent a combination of two architectural styles, Greek and Ottoman.

You need about 2-3 hours to explore them properly and maybe even more if you want to discover fascinating details.

streets of Kaleici | 4 days in Antalya

One of the buildings in the old town that deserves to be added to your Antalya itinerary is the Tekeli Mehmet Pasha Mosque.

It was built under the Ottoman Empire in the late 18th century and later restored in 1940. Equally imposing is the Clock Tower, the only survivor of the more than 80 towers surrounding the city.

Take a walk through the old port | Best Antalya itinerary

During the Byzantine period, Antalya was one of the most important port cities on the Mediterranean Sea.

The port near Kaleici used to be the city’s main port until the twentieth century. Now, however, it’s more of a promenade area, with several restaurants, cafes, and even observation points that reveal a fabulous view.

It’s a great place to experience Antalya nightlife, so make room for it during the 4 days in Antalya. 

The port is located in a beautiful landscape, with steep coasts, palm trees, and the Mediterranean Sea’s turquoise water. From here, boat trips generally depart, inviting you to discover the city’s beauties on the water in the best excursions in Antalya.

Therefore, if you’re searching for the best day trips in Antalya , you might want to check the old port.

An observation point to visit in Antalya is the glass terrace that offers you a complete panorama of the port, the sea, and the Taurus Mountains in the background.

You can get here by crossing Kecili Park, with its artesian fountains and wooden sculptures, or by taking the elevator if you are at the bottom.

Admire Hadrian’s Gate

Continue your day in Antalya with a walk to this fantastic ancient structure.

Three marble carved arches with floral motifs and a few imposing towers are all that remain of the imposing Hadrian’s Gate. It’s located on Atatürk Boulevard, right next to Kaleici.

Hadrian’s Gate was built to mark the visit of the Roman emperor Adrian or Hadrian in 130 A.D. and is practically the only Gate still standing from the Roman Empire.

It’s a beautiful piece of ancient architecture that you can not miss on your walk through the old center, especially as it seems to transition between two worlds, old and new, past and future.

You must add Hadrian’s Gate to your Antalya sightseeing tours, especially since you can visit it for free.

Visit Karaalioglu Park

Also, next to the old town is the largest park in Antalya, with an impressive area of 140,000 square meters.

Continue your Antalya tours with an afternoon in this park, walking the alleys shaded by palm trees in the garden, and enjoy the views of the park’s observation points.

Karaalioglu Park was built in 1943 and has since become an important social center, mainly during Ramadan when all kinds of dinners are organized, after sunset.

Go shopping in the Bazaar | 4 days in Antalya

End your first out of the 4 days in Antalya with a shopping session. You can’t miss the Turkish bazaars, whether you’re on holiday in Antalya or any other city in Turkey.

They are packed with all kinds of products, and you can find beautiful souvenirs, from pillowcases and magnets to fragrant soaps or all sorts of spices.

Don’t forget to try various Turkish sweets, especially Turkish delight, a marvel.

In addition to authentic products, there are all kinds of objects copied by luxury brands. I suggest you avoid those.

The sellers are very kind in general and offer you tea and the possibility to negotiate the price of the products you want to buy. Shopping in Antalya is an experience!

4 Days in Antalya – DAY 2

Go to the beach.

A trip to Antalya would be incomplete without the famous blue flag beaches. Some would agree that Konyaalti is the best beach in Antalya.

It is a long beach, stretching over 8 km, surrounded by luxury hotels. Konyaalti is one of the city’s public beaches and can become extremely crowded in the high season.

Although it’s a beautiful beach, don’t expect the finest sand because it’s sand mixed with gravel. You will find many restaurants, cafes, terraces, and places where you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas along the beach.

Konyaalti | 4 days in Antalya

Unlike Konyaalti, you will find the fine sand you probably want in Lara. Konyaalti Beach and Lara have a blue flag, meaning that the water is excellent quality and safe to swim in here.

While Konyaalti is located west of the city, Lara is in the opposite direction, in the east.

The water is calmer and a little warmer on Lara beach, making it one of the best things to do in Antalya for families. Of the 15 km that the beach has, only two are public, the rest belonging to the top hotels and ultra-inclusive resorts in Antalya.

Besides the two, Antalya has other more secluded and less crowded beaches, but also much more distant.

So, if you have more than 4 days in Antalya and you want to spend a few hours on a less populated beach in Antalya, consider the following options:

• Moonlight Beach
• Patara Beach

Visit the Antalya Museum

If you spend your day number 2 on Konyaalti Beach, you could also visit the Antalya Museum in the immediate vicinity.

One of the best things to do in Antalya with kids is to visit the Antalya Museum. It includes 14 halls with exhibits, primarily archaeological discoveries made in the nearby historic cities.

More than 5,000 pieces are waiting to be discovered by museum visitors.

They cover several periods in the history of the place, from prehistory to the Ottoman period. We are talking about Neanderthal skeletons, statuettes found in the ancient city of Perge , and portraits carved in marble.

Best Antalya Itinerary – DAY 3

Düde n waterfalls | best antalya itinerary.

I wrote waterfalls and not waterfall because I’m about to mention two big waterfalls formed on the same river, the Duden river.

The waterfalls are a few km away from each other and are called Upper Düden and Lower Düden . Visiting these waterfalls is one of my favorite excursions in Antalya.

Lower Düden flows directly into the Mediterranean Sea and is 40 meters high.

You can reach the waterfall by passing through a beautifully landscaped park with lawn, flowers, seating areas, playgrounds for children, and even a zip line over the river.

The waterfall can be admired from two perspectives, either from Duden Park or even from the water, in a tour that you can start in the old port .

Visiting the waterfall is one of the best things to do in Antalya because it is just so gorgeous!

Lower Düden | 4 days in Antalya

Equally beautiful are the waterfalls formed much further north, about 20 km away. Upper Duden Falls is also known as Alexander Falls because it is said that Alexander the Great gave water to his horse here.

Besides waterfalls, you can walk in the alleys and enter the caves formed behind the waterfall.

In summer, the place becomes crowded, and many people choose to spend the whole day inside the park.

Enjoy the view from Tünektepe Teleferik

The landscape of Antalya is so beautiful that it is worth admiring from above.

You can take the Tünektepe cable , which reaches 618 meters above sea level and have a whole panorama of Antalya . It’s definitely something you must add to your 4 days in Antalya itinerary.

The cable car stretches over 1700 meters, includes 36 cabins, and can carry 1200 people per hour.

It’s not allowed to bring food from outside, but there are restaurants and cafes at the top of the mountain, and the panorama is unbeatable.

To get to the cable car’s base, you must go to Konyaalti beach, Sarısu station.

This could also be one of the best things to do in Antalya for families, I’m sure the kids would love to come here.

Best Antalya Itinerary – DAY 4

River rafting | best antalya itinerary.

Beaches, walks, and relaxation. Is the adrenaline ingredient missing on your 4 days in Antalya itinerary?

No, because the adrenaline is at its highest on the rivers of Antalya. Water sports enthusiasts can go river rafting on the Köprüçay, Manavgat, Dim, Duden, and Alara rivers. The most sought-after is river rafting in the Köprülü canyon .

The Antalya tours that offer such an experience in this city have all the necessary equipment, from a life jacket, helmet, oars, and even lunch.

You only need to bring some joy! Prices start at € 20 per person.

If you want to have memories of and take pictures, make sure you have waterproof photo equipment because it’s impossible not to get wet otherwise.

Places to visit near Antalya

The ancient city of perge.

Archaeological sites cannot be missing from the list of places to visit during your 4 days in Antalya.

There are various excursions in Antalya that you can sign in to so you can see these places.

Located 18 km from the city, Perge is an ancient fortress perched on a hill, the former capital of the Pamphylia region.

Perge is one of the oldest cities belonging to the Roman Empire. Studies show that over 200,000 people used to live here.

The most important buildings in Perge are the theater, the stadium, two basilicas, and the agora.

And if we talk about the degree of conservation, the amphitheater would probably receive the first place on the podium. It is enormous, with a capacity of 15 000 seats, and very well preserved.

Day trip to the ruins of Termessos

Built at the foot of the Gulluk Mountains at an altitude of 1050 meters, Termessos is the ideal day trip from Antalya.

The ancient city is now called Termessos National Park , but it’s more of an open-air museum.

We might know many things about Termessos, but one crucial detail is that it was well defended against Alexander the Great, and it was part of the Roman Empire.

The best-preserved elements of the whole complex are the city walls, the Hadrian’s Gate, the cisterns, the theater, and the agora.

You can go to Termessos by car, located at a distance of about 45 km from the city. However, it’s best to come here on a private guided tour because only then will you find fascinating details about the history of these ruins.

The Land of Legends | Best Antalya itinerary

Antalya has its own Disneyland! Located 30 km from the city, The Land of Legends is an amusement park that can successfully compete for the most beautiful amusement park in the world. Everything looks like fairytales. The gorgeous castle is the main attraction.

Over 2 million people come here yearly, and it’s considered one of the best things to do in Antalya with kids.

You can come to The Land of Legends by car. The complex has a vast parking lot with over 1300 spaces.

Best things to know before visiting Antalya

The best antaya sightseeing tours.

In addition to the days spent at the beach, a vacation in Antalya also means fun entwined with discovering tourist attractions in the city.

You can best do this on an organized tour. From my point of view, these are the must-do day trips in Antalya:

• city tour, with a visit to the waterfalls and the cable car
• day trip to the surrounding ancient cities
• adrenaline rush in Koprulu Canyon: rafting and zip line
• jeep safari in the Taurus Mountains

Best time to visit Antalya

Spring and autumn are the ideal times to check out the most beautiful places to visit in Antalya if you want to avoid the crowds and heat.

June, July, and August are the hottest months in Antalya and the busiest.

The weather in Antalya is also pleasant from November to March, with an average temperature of 10-20 degrees, but it’s not suitable for swimming.

In conclusion, the best time to visit Antalya would be the end of spring and the beginning of autumn.

• Is Antalya worth visiting?

The answer is obviously yes, considering how beautiful the resort is and how much it offers, including the famous Antalya tours.

Antalya has something for every type of tourist and even for every kind of budget, so it would be good to add it to the list of places to visit if you haven’t already. I hope this 4 days in Antalya itinerary will be helpful to you.

• How to get around in Antalya

To use public transport in Antalya, you need AntalyaKart, which you can buy either from the airport or various city kiosks.

You will only pay the card’s price once, and then you have to recharge it.

You can also travel by taxi, electric scooters, or rent a bike or car for the entire duration of your stay. On average, renting a car per day in Antalya is $ 40.

Taking a taxi in Antalya is a perfect option. The cost of a taxi in Antalya depends a lot on the distance. The taxi price is generally reasonable in Antalya and other touristic places in Turkey.

For example, for 10 km, expect to pay $5 on average.

Best places to eat in Antalya

In terms of gastronomy, Antalya is what you need. Here you will find absolutely everything your heart desires, from seafood, vegetables, barbecue, kebap, and other Turkish dishes, to international cuisine.

There are places for all budgets, so I recommend you not necessarily go for the all-inclusive option. Accommodations with breakfast in Antalya included could be a good option.

There are a lot of places where you can eat well, but these are the best restaurants in Antalya in my opinion

• Yemenli Meyhanesi
• Kaleici Meyhanesi Konyaalti
• Fatma Sultan Restaurant (Turk MutfagI)
• Ayar Meyhanesi
• Hayat Restaurant
• Is Antalya safe?

I can confirm from my experience that I had no problems in Antalya. It’s a very touristic city, and the people are very civilized.

Minor incidents can occur, as in every place, but overall you can walk without problems almost anywhere and at whatever time you want.

Take the safety measures you would have taken in any other site considered safe, and everything will be ok. So, the answer to the question “Is Antalya safe?” is yes.

Some parts of Israel are considered "red zones" by the Foreign Office, with the government advising against all travel there.

For the rest of the country - including East Jerusalem and Tel Aviv - the advice is to travel only if it is essential.
