Antalya: Guided City Tour with Waterfalls Tickets and Lunch

History

Antalya, founded in the 2nd century BCE by Attalus II of Pergamon, has been a vital Mediterranean port through Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman eras. Kaleiçi, the historic Old Town, preserves Roman landmarks like Hadrian’s Gate, built in 130 CE, and Ottoman features like the Yivli Minaret, a 13th-century fluted masterpiece.

The Düden Waterfalls, formed by the Düden River, are iconic natural landmarks, with the Lower Düden (Karpuzkaldıran) dramatically plunging into the sea. These sites, combined with Antalya’s historic harbor, reflect the city’s rich blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty.
