Kaleiçi

Kaleici, the historic heart of Antalya, is a captivating maze of narrow cobbled streets, ancient city walls, and beautifully restored Ottoman-era houses. Enclosed by Roman fortifications and centered around the old harbor, this district reflects layers of history from Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman periods. Visitors can admire landmarks like Hadrian’s Gate, Hidirlik Tower, and the Yivli Minaret, while enjoying boutique shops, traditional restaurants, and vibrant bazaars. By night, Kaleici transforms with lively cafés and bars, making it both a cultural treasure and a social hub. Its preserved architecture and rich heritage make it one of Antalya’s most enchanting attractions.
