Antalya Old City and Duden Waterfall Day Trip from Belek

This daily Antalya old city and waterfall tour from Belek combines the historic heart of Antalya with one of the region's loveliest natural sights in a single, comfortable day tour. With hotel transfers and an English-speaking guide, it is an ideal daily excursion for travellers who want to see the city beyond the resort.

• Hotel pickup and return in Belek by air-conditioned vehicle
• Guided walk through Antalya's old city (Kaleici), the historic core of the town
• Narrow, winding lanes lined with old buildings, leading down to the harbour
• Free time in the old quarter for sightseeing and shopping
• Duden Waterfall, described as the second highest waterfall in Antalya

Kaleici, meaning 'inside the castle', is the walled old district that has been the heart of Antalya since ancient times. The city was founded in the Hellenistic period and later flourished under the Romans, Seljuks and Ottomans, and each era left its mark here. Today restored wooden houses, stone walls, small mosques and shaded courtyards line the twisting streets, which slope gently down to the old harbour, where fishing boats and excursion vessels rest beneath the cliffs. Wandering these lanes is the best way to feel the character of the city.

Duden Waterfall offers a refreshing contrast to the old town. Fed by the Duden River, which flows down from the Taurus Mountains, the falls tumble through green surroundings, and their cool spray is especially welcome on hot summer days. Paths around the falls give you good views and photo spots.

Entrance fees mentioned in the programme are included, while lunch is at your own expense, so you can choose a cafe or restaurant in the old city. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended, as Kaleici's streets are cobbled and sloping. As an Antalya day trip it fits easily into a beach holiday.
