Must Do

  • Walk Kaleiçi on foot; it's Antalya's oldest fabric.
  • Visit at least one of Perge, Aspendos or Side.
  • Spend a day at Konyaaltı or Lara beach.

Avoid These

  • Never leaving your all-inclusive hotel and missing the city.
  • Touring Aspendos at midday heat; it's shadeless.
  • Sitting down in Kaleiçi without seeing a menu.

Tips

  • The Antalyakart works on tram and buses; a nostalgic tram runs to Kaleiçi.
  • Aspendos theatre still hosts concerts — check the calendar.
  • Summer is very hot; April-May and September-October are ideal.

Hidden Gems

  • Hıdırlık Tower and cliff views from Karaalioğlu Park.
  • Sapadere Canyon: an hour out, a cool stream walk.
  • Hidden coves in Lara reached by stairs, away from the busy beaches.
