The Antalya city tour from Kemer takes in the Lower and Upper Düden waterfalls, the old town of Kaleiçi and, if you choose, a yacht trip. At Lower Düden the water drops off a cliff about 45 metres high straight into the Mediterranean. In Kaleiçi you have free time to wander the narrow streets, see Hadrian’s Gate and the Clock Tower and walk down to the old harbour.
We pick up guests from hotels in Beldibi, Kemer, Göynük, Tekirova, Çamyuva and Kiriş.

How does the Antalya city tour from Kemer work?
Hotel pickup
We pick up guests at the hotel gate, by the security post, just past the barrier, between about 08:00 and 09:00. We’ll put the exact pickup time for your hotel on your e-ticket once your booking is confirmed.
A road between the mountains and the sea
We drive to Antalya on a highway between the mountains and the sea. On one side rise the pine-covered slopes of the Taurus Mountains; on the other, the sea keeps coming into view along the way.
Lower Düden: off a cliff and straight into the sea
The first stop is usually the Lower Düden Waterfall. Here the Düden River plunges off a cliff about 45 metres high straight into the Mediterranean.
You hear the roar of the water before you even reach the viewing platform in the park. In front of you is a white torrent against sheer cliffs and the sea. You can stop here, take a good look at the waterfall and take photos. The spray sometimes brings a cool breath of air, and in sunny weather a rainbow can sometimes be seen above it.
Caves behind the Upper Düden falls
Next we drive to Upper Düden, in a park in the Varsak district about 10 km from the centre of Antalya. Here the water falls about 27 metres in thin streams that look like silver threads.
You can watch the waterfall from viewing platforms on both sides, and from the caves behind it you see it through a curtain of water.
A textile shop, with no obligation to buy
After the waterfalls we stop at a textile shop. You can browse the goods here and buy something if you like. Shopping is optional.
Lunch
After the textile shop we stop for lunch. Lunch is included in the price; drinks are extra.
Antalya and Lower Düden from the deck of a yacht
This part of the programme is for the “With yacht trip” option only. The booking form shows the price without the yacht. If you’d like to add the yacht trip, write “With yacht trip” in the “Special Requests” field. After lunch we arrive in Kaleiçi and set off from the old harbour on a yacht trip of about 45–50 minutes. The yacht follows the Antalya coast, and from the deck you see the coastal cliffs and the city above them.
We saw Lower Düden from the viewing platform in the morning; now we see it from the sea. From the water you can watch the torrent fall off the cliff and photograph the waterfall from a different angle. There are no swim stops on the trip.
Free time in Kaleiçi
In Kaleiçi, Antalya’s old town, the guide tells you when and where to meet, and then you explore on your own. If you chose the yacht trip, your walk in the old town begins after it. If you’d like more free time in Kaleiçi, simply don’t add the yacht trip when you book.
Narrow cobbled streets lead down to the old harbour, past old houses with flowers on their balconies, small cafés and souvenir shops. Yachts and pleasure boats are moored in the harbour, and nearby you can have a coffee overlooking the port.
On your walk you can see Hadrian’s Gate, the Clock Tower (Saat Kulesi), the fluted Yivli Minaret and Hıdırlık Tower. Where to go and where to linger is up to you.
Back to your hotel
After Kaleiçi we drive back to Kemer and the surrounding resorts. Guests are back at their hotels at about 17:30–18:30.
In one day you see the Lower and Upper Düden waterfalls and walk around the old town, and with the yacht trip you also see the coast and Lower Düden from the sea. You don’t have to think about driving or parking: we pick you up at your hotel and bring you back by bus.
Book your seat online with no prepayment. You pay for the tour on the bus on the day.

Do we explore Kaleiçi with the guide or on our own?
On your own. The guide travels with the group, answers questions about the route and tells you when and where to meet, but doesn’t lead a tour of Kaleiçi: you explore the old town yourself.
How much free time is there in Kaleiçi?
The guide gives you the meeting time on the spot. For more free time in Kaleiçi, book the tour without the yacht trip. During your walk you can stroll through the old town’s streets at an easy pace, walk to Hadrian’s Gate and head down to the old harbour.

The yacht trip (“With yacht trip” option only) lasts about 45–50 minutes and follows the Antalya coast.

What happens if the yacht trip is cancelled because of the weather?
Whether the yacht sails depends on the weather and the sea. If the trip is cancelled, the guide will tell you on the spot; the price is recalculated at the rate without the yacht trip, and the difference is refunded.
Is lunch included in the price?
Yes, lunch is included in the price. Drinks with it are extra.
Is the tour suitable for children?
Yes, the tour suits families with children. Bear in mind that Kaleiçi has cobbled streets, some of them on a slope; in the old town and on board the yacht, please keep children close.
Does a child aged 0–6 need their own seat on the bus?
Children aged 0–6 travel free and don’t get a seat of their own on the bus: they sit on an adult’s lap. If you’d like your child to have their own seat, please book it at the child rate.
What will we see on the tour?
Kaleiçi, the old town of Antalya
Kaleiçi is Antalya’s historic quarter around the old harbour. The name means “inside the fortress”: the quarter was once surrounded by walls that protected the harbour and the town. Fragments of these fortifications survive.
Kaleiçi’s best-known symbol is Hadrian’s Gate, a marble arch at the entrance to the quarter.
The Clock Tower (Saat Kulesi)
The Clock Tower stands on Kalekapısı Square, by one of the entrances to Kaleiçi. It was built in the early 20th century and is about 14 metres tall, with a massive stone base and the clock at the top. Today it is a popular meeting point for locals and visitors alike.
The Yivli Minaret
The Yivli Minaret is a fluted tower about 38 metres tall; “yivli” means “fluted”. Its silhouette is easy to spot around Kaleiçi.
The minaret is more than 800 years old, a Seljuk building. The Yivli complex preserves traces of the Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman eras.
Upper Düden, the waterfall with caves behind it
Upper Düden lies about 10 km from the centre of Antalya, in a park in the Varsak district. The waterfall is about 27 metres high and is on the Düden River, which rises from karst springs in the Taurus Mountains.
Upstream the river flows calmly, but near the edge it gathers speed, breaks into its first rapids and plunges noisily into a small lake. Around it is a green, shady park, and ancient tombs survive in the rocks.
What makes the place special are the caves and grottoes behind the falling water. You can watch the waterfall from the viewing platforms and also from inside the caves, right next to the falling water. The cave floor is uneven, so comfortable shoes are a good idea, and please watch your step.
Lower Düden, the waterfall that drops into the sea
What sets Lower Düden apart is that the water falls not into a river or a lake but straight into the Mediterranean. You can see the waterfall from the viewing platform in the park, and with the yacht trip from the water as well.
