ANTALYA FULL-DAY SIGHTSEEING CITY TOUR-HIGHLIGHTS:
Düden Waterfalls:
The name Düden comes from the Düden stream, which forms two separate waterfalls known as the Upper Düden Waterfall and the Lower Düden Waterfall;
Upper Düden Waterfall:
The Upper Düden Waterfall is located about 10 km north of Antalya city center and is surrounded by lush green parks and natural beauty. The water cascades down from a height of 22 meters, creating a refreshing and peaceful atmosphere.
Visitors can walk through the park, explore the caves behind the waterfall, and enjoy the relaxing sound of the flowing water. According to local legend, this waterfall is also known as Iskender Waterfall, because it is believed that Alexander the Great watered his horses here during his campaign in the region.
Lower Düden Waterfall:
The Lower Düden Waterfall, also known as Karpuzkaldıran Waterfall, is one of the most famous natural attractions in Antalya. Located about 8 km from the city center on the road to Lara Beach, this spectacular waterfall flows from a height of 40 meters directly into the Mediterranean Sea.
This dramatic natural sight is popular with both visitors and locals. Many boat tours pass near the waterfall, giving visitors a unique opportunity to view the waterfall from the sea. The surrounding park area is also a great place to relax, take photos, and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Kaleiçi (Old Town):
Kaleiçi, the historic old town of Antalya, is a charming district filled with history, culture, and traditional architecture. As the oldest part of the city, Kaleiçi reflects the influence of many civilizations that have shaped the region over the centuries.
