Introduction

This itinerary captures the best of Antalya in three glorious days - from the ancient ruins of Perge to the enchanting Old Town and the stunning blue waters of Konyaalti beach. Get ready to explore, indulge and create unforgettable memories in this gorgeous Mediterranean city.

Day 1 - Peek into the Past

Today we start our adventure by stepping back in time to the ancient city of Perge. Meandering through the grand amphitheater and beautifully preserved ruins, you'll get a taste of life in Roman times. Next, we'll head for the breathtaking Antalya Archeological Museum. This treasure trove is stacked with countless artifacts born from several civilizations - it's like having a history book come alive! Lastly, we'll visit the Antalya Old Town or Kaleiçi. It's a delightful mix of charming restaurants, quaint shops, ancient architecture, and tiny streets. Don't forget to catch the beautiful sunset at the historic harbor, painting a perfect end to the day.

Day 2 - Sun, Sand and Seaside

Day two, we'll transport you to the azure Mediterranean waters. We'll start at the serene Konyaalti Beach, which is, well, the perfect beach! Think sparkling blue waters, stunning mountain backdrop, and a lively promenade. This blue paradise will invite you for a lovely swim, sunbathing, or even a peaceful walk along the shore. Once we've had enough fun in the sun, we're off to Aquarium Antalya. It's a feast for the eyes, teeming with an array of marine life. Lastly, as the sunsets, we'll venture up to Tünektepe Cable Car for panoramic views of Antalya's twinkling lights – a mesmerizing way to end the day.

Day 3 - Magnificent Waterfalls and Market Meandering

The last day, brace yourself for an enchanting escape to the Düden Waterfalls. Imagine a lush park with a high cliff, beneath which water cascades into the sea - isn't that a sight for sore eyes? Later, we delve into the hustle and bustle of Kaleiçi Market. This market, my friends, is a treasure trove of local produce, spices, textiles, and trinkets. Don't forget to haggle! Finally, to cap off our amazing adventure, we'll stroll down to Hidirlik Tower for a breathtaking view of the sunset over the sea, a fitting finale to our 3-day Antalyan adventure.
