Things to do
In Antalya, you can stay among the old streets of Kaleiçi, beside the long pebble beach at Konyaaltı or along the resort coast to the east. For a short break, think about an ordinary day: walking to cafés and the harbour, following the promenade or spending more time at your hotel.
Walk through Kaleiçi to the harbour
Start at Hadrian’s Gate, walk through Kaleiçi and descend to the harbour. Leave time for coffee and pauses in the old streets. The return route climbs uphill; allow longer for this part with a pushchair or when you prefer to take steps slowly.
Spend a dry day on the waterfront
Choose Konyaaltı for a long promenade walk or Lara for its sandy shoreline. Give one stretch of coast the day and leave time for lunch. Bring a windbreaker, as exposed waterfront sections can feel cooler than the sheltered streets between buildings.
Make a separate trip to Perge
Give Perge a separate outing so you can explore the spacious ancient site without rushing. A dry day, water, a hat and shoes for uneven ground make the visit easier. The archaeological site is open; its theatre is closed for restoration.
Visit the Ethnography Museum
Include the Ethnography Museum in a walk around Kaleiçi. It offers time indoors and an introduction to local culture. Afterwards, have lunch in the old town and continue towards the harbour when you are ready to return outside.
Where to stay
Kaleiçi
Kaleiçi is convenient for a short stay with walking, cafés and dinners in the old town. Step outside onto historic streets and follow them down towards the harbour. A courtyard-facing room suits quieter nights, while accommodation nearer an entrance to the district makes arrival with heavy luggage easier.
Konyaaltı
Konyaaltı works well for long seaside walks and an urban neighbourhood beside the beach. The shore is mainly pebbly. Choose a part of the district with an easy route to the promenade and transport towards the centre, as a visit to Kaleiçi becomes a separate outing.
Lara and towards Kundu
Lara and the coast towards Kundu suit a stay with more time at a hotel and beach. Urban Lara offers more everyday access to cafés, while the resort strip farther east favours time within a hotel’s grounds. In winter, a heated indoor pool makes daily swimming easier to include.
Getting around
The Antray tram and city buses help connect the centre with other districts. For three days, choose Kaleiçi if old lanes and the harbour are your priority, or Konyaaltı if you want the coast close to your base. Perge lies outside the centre, so give it a separate day and plan the journey in advance. Antalya Archaeology Museum is temporarily closed, so leave it out of the itinerary.
Three days in Antalya
Kaleiçi and the harbour
Follow Kaleiçi’s lanes down to the harbour and old marina, then explore the central historic sights before taking a longer break in the old quarter. Stone streets and changes in level make a slower pace more comfortable.
Konyaaltı coast
Spend a day along Konyaaltı Beach and its promenade. This is a distinct seaside outing on a pebbled shore; wear footwear that works on stones and leave time for a café overlooking the water.
Perge
Give Perge a separate day: the ancient city lies outside central Antalya. Explore the open streets, agora and surviving colonnades. The ancient theatre is temporarily closed for restoration. Keep distant beach outings for another day.
