[2025 Antalya Attraction] Travel Guide for Antalya Clock Tower (Updated Jul)

Visiting Kaleici around sunset was one of the highlights of our trip to Antalya. If you’re planning to explore this old town, I highly recommend going in the late afternoon and staying through golden hour, the light makes everything feel warmer and more magical. We entered through Hadrian’s Gate, and honestly, it’s worth slowing down there. The Roman architecture is beautifully preserved, and you’ll notice intricate carvings that you might miss if you rush. A tip: take your photos facing inward toward the gate, the lighting from that angle is just ideal. From there, we strolled through the winding, cobblestone alleys of Kaleici, passing by traditional Ottoman style houses and tucked away cafés. What I appreciated most was how peaceful the area felt once we moved a little deeper in, the crowds thinned out, and we could actually hear birds and street musicians in the distance. If you like unique souvenirs, check out the local art and antique shops, but be prepared to bargain politely. The Clock Tower marks a nice central spot to pause, there’s a small plaza nearby with places to grab fresh pomegranate juice (definitely try it. It’s tangy and refreshing). From there, we followed the old walls down to Hıdırlık Tower, arriving just in time to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. This is a perfect photo spot, but also a great place to sit, reflect, and just take in the view. Bring a light jacket the breeze can get cool in the evening. This area isn’t just about sightseeing, it’s about slowing down and stepping into another time. For me, what mattered most was that quiet, golden moment by the sea where history, nature, and peace all came together. Tips. 1. Wear comfortable shoes: the cobbled streets are beautiful but uneven. 2. Go in the late afternoon to avoid the midday heat and enjoy sunset. 3. Bring water, but don’t skip the fresh juice stalls. 4. Avoid the main streets if you want quiet - take the side paths for a more authentic, relaxed vibe. 5. Respect the locals - it’s a living neighborhood, not just a tourist site. #trip #tripmoments #hiddengems #traveltips #oldtownvibes #sunset #sunsetview #citydaytours #antalya #kaleici #hadriansgate #historicallandmarks #architecture #historicculture

Such a beautiful county and city with stray cats for all those cat lovers and great weather. I only speak English, and people and workers were very accommodating to that

On Day 7 of our Turkey family road trip, we drove an hour from Antalya to visit The Land of Legends, a legendary theme park that combines a theme park, hotel, shopping, and nightlife entertainment. However, our main goal was to explore the ocean-themed restaurant, Nemo. The menu is limited but features exquisite Japanese cuisine, and the prices are quite high, reminiscent of dining in London. The last image is the restaurant's website for those interested in visiting. #TurkeyAntalya #Gourmet #OceanRestaurant #TurkeyTravel #Vacation #JapaneseCuisine

The seaside history of Kaleici can be traced back to the Roman era, and it has experienced the rule of the Kingdom of Pergamon, Rome, Byzantium and the Ottoman Empire.

The streets are dotted with historic buildings and you can take a stroll along the area’s narrow and charming streets, visiting ancient mosques along the way 🕌 as well as numerous bars and cafes where you can try the local cuisine. Buy souvenirs from the shop 🛍️💰 The location of Kaleici revolves around an ancient Roman port. Going to the pier to enjoy the beautiful view of the harbor and the sunset is very relaxing‼ ️☺️🥰
