Antalya Marina: Where Ancient History Meets Luxury Yachts
A working harbor below Kaleiçi with berths for about 90–100 boats, boat tours, and waterfront cafes
Antalya’s old harbour sits at the foot of Kaleiçi, enclosed by the city walls and the cliffs. Once the city’s main port, it is now a small marina full of wooden excursion boats, fishing boats and yachts, with seafood restaurants and cafés along the quay. It is the starting point for most boat trips along the coast, including the cruise to the Lower Düden waterfall.
A panoramic lift (elevator) near Cumhuriyet Square takes you down the cliff to the harbour area, or you can walk down through the lanes of Kaleiçi.
What to do at the harbour
- Boat trips: short cruises along the cliffs to the Lower Düden waterfall, and longer trips with swimming stops.
- Gulet and yacht charters: private boats for a family or group, for a day or a longer Blue Cruise.
- Seafood by the water: fish restaurants and cafés around the quay.
- Sunset views: the light on the walls and the Taurus Mountains is beautiful in the evening.
Tips
- Compare boats: trips differ in length, swimming stops and whether lunch is included; ask before you book.
- Morning trips are calmer; afternoon trips are popular for swimming.
- Bring a hat and water: there is little shade on deck.
