Side Ancient City

Side Ancient City is located on the Mediterranean coast of Antalya Province in southern Türkiye, with its ruins concentrated on a small peninsula extending into the sea. The ancient city was founded in the 7th century BC by Greek immigrants who crossed the sea, and "Side" means "pomegranate" in the local ancient language. Relying on its natural harbor, it became an important trading port in the Pamphylia region, successively experiencing the rule of the Lydians, Persians, Alexander the Great, and the Romans. During the Roman Empire, it was bustling with merchant ships and thriving commerce, and was once a hub for the Mediterranean slave trade. Legend has it that the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra and the Roman general Antony met here. Later, under the successive blows of Arab invasions, earthquakes, and fires, the ancient city gradually declined and was abandoned around the 10th century AD. Today, strolling around the peninsula, Roman-era ruins are visible almost everywhere: the large ancient theater built according to the terrain can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators; the Roman Great Baths have been converted into a site museum, displaying statues and sarcophagi unearthed from the ancient city; walking from the main city gate along the colonnaded street toward the sea, remnants of the grand market, fountain structures, and more follow the path, outlining the contours of the commercial district of that time. On the headland at the tip of the peninsula, the Apollon Temple and the Athena Temple stand side by side. Among them, the five re-erected giant marble columns face the sea. At sunset, the columns and the sea surface are dyed golden by the setting sun, which is an iconic photo spot of the ancient city.

Kaş

Kaş is nestled along the Lycian coast of the Mediterranean in Türkiye, built upon the ruins of the ancient city of Antiphellos. It is a harbor town that blends Greek charm with remnants of Lycian civilization. Before the population exchange between Greece and Türkiye in 1923, a large number of Greek residents lived here, and the old town still retains the blue-and-white stone houses and cobblestone alleys they left behind. The town is a renowned diving destination in Türkiye, with shipwreck sites and aircraft wreckage scattered along the coast—including a well-preserved Dakota DC-3 transport plane wreck that you can enter and explore, as well as underwater canyons, reefs, and steep rock walls. The underwater visibility is excellent, and while diving, you may occasionally spot groupers, octopuses, and sea turtles. Beyond diving, taking a boat trip is a signature experience here; you can gaze at the semi-submerged ruins of the Sunken City of Kekova along the coastline, or take a short ferry ride for a day trip to the Greek island of Kastellorizo, which is just across the water. Several Lycian rock tombs and sarcophagi are scattered throughout the town and on the hillsides, with a 4th-century BC lion-shaped sarcophagus being particularly striking. The town also preserves an ancient open-air theater, where you can sit on the stone steps and look out over the azure sea. The old town is compact, making it easy to explore the main attractions on foot. The streets are lined with shops selling handicrafts and Mediterranean snacks, perfect for slowing down and soaking in the atmosphere.

Kaleici Old Town

Kaleici Old Town is located in the city center of Antalya and has a history of over 2,000 years. It has been ruled by various civilizations, including Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, the Byzantine Empire, the Seljuk Empire, and the Ottoman Empire, with its street layout and architectural style bearing the marks of these different civilizations. Hadrian's Gate is the iconic entrance to Kaleici Old Town, built to commemorate the visit of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. The three marble arches are flanked by towers, and the cobblestone pavement beneath the gate still clearly shows the ruts and hoof prints from ancient times. After passing through the gate, Ottoman-style stone houses with red roofs and white walls are scattered along the slopes, and narrow alleys wind upwards, with mosque domes and minarets visible from time to time. The Tekeli Mehmet Pasha Mosque in the district, built in the 17th century, features typical Ottoman architectural style; the clock tower with a pentagonal base stands on the ancient city walls, with its foundation dating back to the Byzantine period and the upper clock tower added later, making it one of the striking landmarks of Kaleici Old Town today. The Old Roman Harbor is located at the southern end of the district and was once an important maritime transport hub in the Eastern Mediterranean. Today, it is docked with yachts and fishing boats, and the azure harbor water and layers of red roofs form a classic scene of Antalya. The alleys in the northern part of the old town are perfect for a quiet stroll, where you can see old houses covered in vines and scattered craft shops along the way. Restaurants and cafes are densely distributed along the main street, where you can taste local flavors such as Mediterranean grilled fish, or browse shops for handicrafts like carpets and ceramics.
