Hadrian’s Gate
One of the largest cities in Turkey and an important city on the West of the country and known as the “Gateway to the East”, Antalya is brimming with history and interest.
Hadrian’s Gate, also known as the ‘Three Gates’, is a magnificent triumphal arch built in 130 AD for the Roman emperor Hadrian’s visit to the city. Scholars acknowledge Hadrian’s Gate as one of the most beautiful city wall gates in the world, and the decoration and intricacy of carving is stunning. It is believed, pre-dating Hadrian by a millennium, that this is the spot that the Queen of Sheba relaxed on her way to visit King Solomon.
Kaleici District
The historical centre of Antalya is worth a full day’s exploration with treasures from throughout the centuries around every corner. The first order of business would be to visit the main square – the Kapisi, with its ancient clock tower and the statue of the city’s founder Attalus II. Then take a walk among the rows of bazaars, Ottoman buildings and amazing mosques in the area. This is the area of the city in which to get lost on purpose and happen across a small Turkish restaurant offering a lunchtime menu meze for a bargainous price!
Düden Waterfalls
If you’re looking for some R&R then one of the most peaceful spots in Anatalya is the Duden Waterfalls. A natural wonder, nature reserve and picnic area, the falls will delight the nature lover in your party.
The two sources of the waterfalls are the Kirkgozler and Pinarbasi rivers. They converge to form the Biyikli pothole and disappear into it. The word Duden means “a hole that swallows water sources”. The falls consist of two sites, the Upper and the Lower Duden, both of which can be visited for free.
