KALEICI (ANTALYA OLD TOWN)

Step into the heart of Antalya and discover Kaleiçi, the city’s historic Old Town and one of the most atmospheric areas of the Mediterranean coast. Located around the ancient harbour, Kaleiçi combines centuries of history with narrow cobblestone streets, Ottoman-era houses, boutique hotels, restaurants, cafés and local shops.

Adalya Port Hotel is located in the heart of Kaleiçi, just steps from Antalya’s historic Old Harbour. From the hotel, many of Antalya’s most important historical attractions can be explored comfortably on foot.

Among the highlights are Hadrian’s Gate, Hıdırlık Tower, Yivli Minare, the Kesik Minare and the ancient harbour. The compact historic centre makes Kaleiçi ideal for walking, allowing visitors to discover its historic streets, restored Ottoman houses and Mediterranean atmosphere at their own pace.

Kaleiçi is especially beautiful in the late afternoon and evening, when the historic streets become livelier and the harbour takes on a distinctive Mediterranean atmosphere. During the day, visitors can explore historical landmarks, shop for local products, enjoy traditional Turkish cuisine or simply walk through the old streets surrounding the ancient port.

Although Antalya is famous for its beaches and Mediterranean climate, the city offers much more than sun and sea. Kaleiçi is where Antalya’s history, architecture, culture and coastal character come together, making it an essential part of any visit to Antalya.
