A route starting in the city center

The Antalya Kaleiçi Heritage Route, which fits the city's historic core into a single walk, starts at Yivli Minare and continues through stops like Hadrian's Gate, the Clock Tower and Karaalioğlu Park. Entirely walkable, the route spans roughly 3.3 kilometers.

Single-district routes in Alanya and Manavgat

The Alanya Castle and Coast Route starts at Alanya Castle and descends to the coast via the Red Tower and Damlataş Cave. The Manavgat-Side Ancient City and Nature Route follows a path from Manavgat Waterfall to Side's ancient theatre, temple and museum, and from there to Köprülü Canyon.

Routes spanning multiple districts

The Aspendos-Perge Ancient Cities Route, linking Serik and Aksu districts, brings together two great Roman-Pamphylian cities. The Demre-Kaş Lycian Civilizations Route, spanning Demre and Kaş, follows the different layers of the Lycian period from Myra to Kekova. The Kemer-Kumluca Nature and Ancient City Route, covering Kemer and Kumluca, brings together stops like Phaselis, Yanartaş and Olympos in a single itinerary.

How the routes are used

All six routes were prepared with a stop order and estimated durations; some are fully walkable, while others are designed to be completed by car. This variety offers different options for visitors looking for anything from a short city-center outing to a long tour spanning multiple districts.
