Antalya Kaleiçi (old town)

Antalya Kaleiçi: Where History, Nature, Flavor, and Comfort Meet

Located in the heart of Antalya, Kaleiçi attracts millions of tourists every year with its historical narrow streets, colorful houses, and unique atmosphere. This old city, bearing traces from the Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman periods, is like an open-air museum. Streets adorned with bougainvillea climbing between stone walls, historical houses with wooden balconies, and the warm Mediterranean breeze enchant you the moment you step here. Hadrian’s Gate, one of the symbols of Kaleiçi, was built in 130 AD in memory of the Roman Emperor Hadrian’s visit and has maintained its magnificence to this day. The Yivli Minaret, on the other hand, rises to the sky as an elegant example of Seljuk architecture. Every corner hides a story; an old bathhouse, a small mosque, or a centuries-old mansion opens the doors of the past for you.

Kaleiçi is not limited to history; it is also a vibrant living space. Accommodation options here revolve around boutique hotels where history and modernity blend. These hotels, created by restoring old Antalya houses, give you a sense of time travel with their stone walls, wooden details, and authentic decorations. In addition to these facilities, which generally have 10-30 rooms and a friendly atmosphere, there are also mansion-style hotels offering wider facilities, a small number of luxury hotels, and budget-friendly pensions. Most hotels have courtyards adorned with bougainvillea, small pools, or terraces with harbor views. Staying in Kaleiçi offers many advantages: thanks to its central location, you can reach historical places on foot, explore the bays with boats departing from the marina due to its proximity to the sea, or cool off at Mermerli Beach. Moreover, unlike modern resorts, you have an authentic experience here and enjoy breakfasts enriched with local flavors. These hotels, appealing to every budget, are ideal for those seeking both a peaceful and lively holiday.

The venues in the region also complement the spirit of Kaleiçi. Cafes lining the narrow streets usually serve in historical buildings or courtyards, turning your morning coffee into pleasure. Restaurants offer a range from Mediterranean cuisine to world flavors; seafood, kebabs, and local dishes attract attention with fish restaurants near the harbor or stylish options in the inner parts. There are also small bars and live music venues for those looking for entertainment; the nightlife offers a balance that is neither too lively nor completely calm. Watching the sunset at the marina or participating in the warm conversation of the shopkeepers while getting lost in the streets makes this place unforgettable.

If you want to see the harmony of history and modern life, feel like you are on a journey through time while walking on stone streets, and at the same time enjoy the sea and flavor, Kaleiçi is for you. When you come to Antalya, put exploring this enchanting region and staying here at the top of your list!
