The Experience

How do you fit the history, the water and the boat into one day without renting a car? This tour strings them together in sequence: your guide meets you at the hotel, walks you through the Old Town's narrow streets past Hadrian's Gate and the Clock Tower, then takes you to the Duden Waterfalls where the water drops 40 meters straight into the Mediterranean. The cliffs there are the vantage point — you stand on them and watch it fall. After that comes lunch in the Old Town itself, a choice of meat or chicken with salad, eaten in the streets where Ottoman houses still stand.

The boat trip leaves from Antalya Marina in the afternoon and runs for one hour. You drift past the coastline and the sea cliffs from the water side, which is the only way to see how the Duden waters actually meet the sea. A professional guide travels with the group the whole day and speaks English; German and Russian are also available. The tour is eight hours total, which means it starts early and ends by late afternoon.

One optional extra: the Olympos Cable Car gives you a full view of the city from above, and the fee is separate — about $21 per person for a round trip. There's also a stop at a local silversmith workshop and a 30-minute break in the city center where you can use facilities and grab refreshments before the Old Town section. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and the tour suits all fitness levels.

Top questions

What exactly is the Duden Waterfall and how close do you get to it?

The Duden Waterfall is a 40-meter drop of water that flows directly into the Mediterranean Sea from the cliffs above. Your guide takes you to the clifftop vantage point where you watch and photograph the waterfall from above; the tour also includes entry to both the upper and lower sections of the falls.

Is the cable car included in this tour?

The cable car is optional and costs extra — about $21 per person for a round trip. It gives you a full aerial view of Antalya from above, but you can skip it and still complete the rest of the tour without it.

What's included in the boat trip, and how long is it?

The one-hour boat cruise leaves from Antalya Marina in the Old Town and is included in the tour price. You drift along the coastline and see the sea cliffs; the boat may be rescheduled or refunded $5 per person if weather or technical issues prevent it from running.

Do I need to arrange my own transportation to the tour starting point?

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included in the tour, so your guide meets you at your accommodation and returns you there at the end of the day — no need to arrange separate transport to or from the meeting point.

What's for lunch, and where do you eat?

Lunch is served in the Old Town and you choose between meat or chicken with salad. You eat in the historic streets of Kale içi (inside the Castle), surrounded by the Ottoman architecture you've been walking through all morning.

What languages does the guide speak?

The guide speaks English, German, and Russian, so you can book in whichever language suits you best.
