Full description
Your day begins with a morning pickup from your Side hotel, where a comfortable air-conditioned coach is waiting to carry you west along the coastal highway toward Antalya, the vibrant capital of the Turkish Riviera. As the Taurus Mountains rise on one side and the shimmering Mediterranean stretches on the other, your guide shares stories of the region's layered past, from ancient Pamphylia to the modern resort coast you see today.
In Antalya you step straight into living history at Kaleici, the atmospheric old town, where narrow cobbled lanes wind past restored Ottoman mansions, hidden courtyards and the marble arches of Hadrian's Gate, built to honour a visiting Roman emperor. You pause at the panoramic clifftop terraces to watch the Lower Duden Waterfalls tumble dramatically straight into the sea, then descend toward the picturesque old harbour, once a busy Roman port and now a charming marina ringed with cafes, gulets and sailing boats bobbing in the turquoise water.
After a leisurely lunch at a welcoming local restaurant, you have free time to browse the bazaars, sip Turkish tea on a shaded terrace or simply soak up the unhurried Mediterranean rhythm before your coach returns you comfortably to your Side hotel by early evening. It is a perfect blend of culture, scenery and seaside charm that captures the true spirit of Antalya in a single unforgettable day.
