Red Tower is located in Alanya harbor. The octagonal planned structure symbolizes the city and is a 13th-century Seljuk work. It was built in 1226 by the Seljuk Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I to Abu Ali Reha el Kettani, the master builder from Aleppo who built the Sinop Castle.

Since it was difficult to lift the stone blocks after a certain height during the construction, the upper part was built with baked red bricks and therefore named Kızılkule. Marble blocks from ancient times can be seen on the tower walls. The tower has an octagonal plan; each division is 12.5 meters wide, 33 meters high, and 29 meters in diameter. It has five floors, including the ground floor. A tall, spaced stone staircase reaches the top of the tower with 85 steps. The sunlight from the top of the building resembles the first floor. There is a cistern in the center of the building.

Alanya Shipyard and Alanya Tophanesi are the historical buildings of Alanya from the Seljuk period.

The construction of the shipyard was started in 1228 near Kızılkule, six years after the Anatolian Seljuk Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I took the city and was completed in one year. The shipyard, which consists of five arched eyes, has a sea-facing façade of 56.5 meters and a depth of 44 meters. The location chosen for the shipyard was planned to maximize the use of daylight. The inscription on the entrance gate of the shipyard bears the coat of arms of Sultan Keykubat and is decorated with rosettes.

Alanya Shipyard is the first Seljuk shipyard in the Mediterranean. Alaaddin Keykubat, who had previously built the Sinop Shipyard in the Black Sea, took the title of "sultan of two seas" with the Alanya Shipyard. A masjid is on one side of the shipyard, and a guard room is on the other. There is a well in one of the eyes, which was blinded in time. The entrance to the shipyard, which can be reached by boats from the sea or on foot from the city walls next to Kızılkule, is free of charge.

Damlataş Cave in the district center of Alanya was discovered in 1948 during the opening of a quarry for stone to be used in port construction. It is located on the west coast of the historical Alanya Peninsula. There is a 50-meter passage at the entrance of the cave. A cylindrical cavity is reached after the course with a height of 15 meters. From here, one descends to the bottom of the cave. The stalactites and stalagmites of the cave, located inside crystallized limestone, were formed in 15 thousand years. The cave was named Damlataş because of the water drops that continue to drip from the stalactites.

In addition to its mesmerizing beauty, Damlataş Cave is famous for its air suitable for asthma patients. Under a doctor's supervision, some patients apply a 21-day treatment cure by sitting in the cave for a certain period. The air in the shelter does not change in summer and winter; the temperature is 22°C, the humidity is 95 percent, and the constant pressure is 760 mm. The air in the cave contains 71 percent nitrogen, 20.5 percent oxygen, 2.5 per ten thousand carbon dioxide, and some radioactivity and ions.

Alanya Archaeological Museum was opened in 1967 with artifacts from the Bronze Age, Urartu, Phrygian, and Lydian periods brought from the Ankara Museum of Anatolian Civilisations and artifacts collected from the surrounding area until that day. In the following years, the museum expanded and enriched with artifacts from excavations in the region or brought to the museum in various ways. The museum has archaeology and ethnography sections. The oldest artifact found and exhibited in the archaeological area is a stone inscription in the Phoenician language dating back to 625 BC. The museum's most famous artifact is the statue of Heracles, which has a dramatic story in mythology. The bronze cast Heracles statue dating back to the 2nd century after Christ is exhibited in a separate hall.

Side, the most crucial port city of Pamphylia in ancient times, is located 80 kilometers east of Antalya and seven kilometers southwest of Manavgat, on a peninsula 350-400 meters wide.

The side became a settlement center in the seventh century BC. In the sixth century BC, it came under the sovereignty of Pamphylia and the Kingdom of Lydia. The city, which existed under the authority of Alexander the Great for a while, constantly changed hands between the Hellenistic Period kingdoms after Alexander's death. In later periods, the city was ruled under the Pergamon Kingdom, Rome, and the Eastern Roman Empire.

Alara Han, built in 1231-1232, is on the Antalya-Alanya route, in Okurcalar Town and within the borders of Çakallar Village. The inn, built on the edge of the Alara Stream, has a rectangular planned living area extending in the northeast-southwest direction. Apart from the main façade, on the northwest and southwest façades, there are buttresses in triangular prismatic form, placed at regular intervals and rising up to the elevation of the façade; Since the southeast façade was built close to the slope of the earthen hill rising in this direction, it was built with rough cut stones and rubble stones to function as a retaining wall. The dendans rising at the eaves level of the building, including the buttresses, go around the whole roof in the form of loopholes.

It is within the borders of Seki Village, at the 20th kilometer of the Alanya-Gazipaşa highway. The ancient name of the city, which preserves its importance as the western border of the Cilicia Region, Syedreon, appears for the first time on the coins minted in the city's name during the reign of Roman Emperor Tiberius (14-17 AD). Two big streets cut across the city, which is surrounded by walls, and the streets with stairs descending perpendicular to them form the city plan. The ancient city of Syedra is entered through the monumental gate still standing in the west. The water requirement is met by the water storage pools and numerous small cisterns filled with rain water, fed by a natural spring (Cistern Cave) in the south-west. The cave, whose walls are decorated with frescoes made in the Early Christian Period, was used for religious purposes and is known as the baptismal cave.

The castle, which is located within the borders of the historical peninsula in Alanya district center, is one of the important historical structures of the region. The castle is about 5-10 minutes' walk from the town center. The castle, which has a magnificent appearance with its 6-kilometer-long ramparts surrounding it, was started to be used in 1221 during the reign of Alaaddin Keykubat I to protect the city against threats from the sea. During the same period, various restoration works were carried out, and the castle was further strengthened. A cistern was built inside the building in order to avoid problems with water needs.

Located in the city center of Antalya and hosting boutique hotels, historical artifacts, museums, specially designed stores, stylish cafes and restaurants, Kaleiçi is surrounded by horseshoe-shaped walls inside and out. It is known that the walls are the joint work of the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman periods. There are about 3000 houses with tiled roofs inside the walls. The architecture of Kaleiçi outside the walls bears the traces of Ottoman architecture. The characteristic structures of the houses not only give an idea about the architectural history of Antalya, but also reflect the lifestyle, traditions and customs of the region in the best way.

It is possible to enter Kaleiçi through Hadrian's Gate. This gate is one of the best preserved of the historical buildings in Antalya. The building, which is a Roman work, was built in 130 AD on behalf of the Roman Emperor Hadrian.

Perge is located 18 km east of Antalya city center. The Aksu (Kestros) River was a factor that made the city's geographical location very valuable in ancient times. It was also the living water of agriculture in the city.

Some of the ancient city's critical artifacts obtained from excavations are exhibited in the Antalya Museum.

Exploring Perge by walking along the massive city walls built by Alexander the Great is an excellent option.

It would be best if you did not leave the Ancient City of Perge without seeing the water canal, colonnaded street, watchtower, Roman bath, agoras, double-door shops, monumental theatre for 12 thousand people, mosaics covering the floor, and horseshoe-shaped stadium.

Located 30 km northwest of Antalya, Termessos is one of the best preserved ancient cities in Turkey. The city has been included in the National Park due to its natural beauties and historical monuments.

The city, which is known for the strong defense of the Termessians against the siege of Alexander the Great, is located in the section called Milyas in the Pisidia region. It is known that the city was founded by the Solyms, one of the oldest peoples of Anatolia. It is not possible to find any information about the city in the sources about the Byzantine period and after.

It is known that the ancient city of Phaselis, located 18 kilometers southwest of Kemer and 58 kilometers southwest of Antalya, was founded by Rhodian colonists in the seventh century BC. The city's geographical location shows that it was an important harbor city. The town has three harbors, one on the north of the peninsula, one on the northeast, and the third on the southwest coast.

The welcoming of Alexander the Great with a golden crown in 333 BC is one of the most critical lines in the city's history.

Phaselis, under Byzantine rule in the fifth and sixth centuries, was abandoned entirely from the beginning of the 13th century due to its damage during the Seljuk siege in the 12th century. Predominantly Roman and Byzantine ruins have survived to the present day. These are lined up on both sides of the main street, which forms the city's central axis and connects the north-south harbors. The road widens between the agora and the theatre, creating a small square. Steps in the square's southeast corner provide access to the theatre and the acropolis. The theatre is a typical Hellenistic period theatre of small size.

Olympos is the second most crucial harbor city after Phaselis on the southern coast of Antalya. It is 85 kilometers southwest of Antalya city center and 45 kilometers southwest of Kemer district center. The town takes its name from the 2,375-metre-high Mount Tahtalı, one of the western extensions of the Taurus Mountains, 16 kilometers to the north. It is within the borders of Beydağları-Olympos National Park. The exact date of the foundation of the city is unknown.

An important visible city structure is the temple gate 150 meters west of the river mouth. The most interesting among the ruins is the sarcophagus of Captain Eudomus, which was unearthed by excavations carried out by the Antalya Museum.

To the east of Olympos, 300 meters from the coast, is the settlement of Çıralı, famous for its magnificent beach where Caretta Caretta lays eggs and the coastal dunes where many plants live.

The ancient city of Myra, located 200 km southwest of Antalya city center and 45 km southeast of Kas, was founded on the plain of the same name within the borders of today's Demre district.

Myra Ancient City is especially famous for its Lycian Period rock tombs, Roman Period theatre, and Byzantine Period St. Nicholas Church (Santa Claus).

From the seventh century onwards, Myra lost its importance due to earthquakes, floods, and alluvium brought by the Demre Stream and Arab raids, and it became a village in the 12th century. According to the research, it is possible to come across the remains of Hellenistic fortifications on and around the Acropolis hill, apart from the Roman walls, which are intact today. Today's ruins consist of the theatre on the acropolis's southern skirt and the rock tombs on both sides.

Myra, the capital of the Lycian province in the fifth century AD, has a special place in the Christian world as it was the city where St. Paul and his friends visited.

Born in Patara and bishop of Myra in the second half of the third century AD, St Nicholas was a respected religious figure canonized posthumously. St Nicholas became the most popular saint in many countries of Europe, especially in the former Tsardom of Russia.

In the northern countries of Europe, the tradition of Santa Claus, the protector, and giver of joy to children, was integrated into the belief in St Nicholas, leading to the creation of a semi-religious and trendy legendary figure.

The Church of St Nicholas is an important monument of Byzantine art history and the most outstanding example of the Middle Byzantine Period with its architectural style and ornamentation. The fact that Myra (Demre) was the capital of the province of Lycia in the fifth century AD, and the Archbishop of Myra was the second largest religious authority in Anatolia, played a significant role in increasing the prestige of the city in the years after the death of St Nicholas.

Located between Kaş and Demre districts, 195 km southwest of Antalya, the ancient Simena, now known as Kaleköy, was a small Lycian coastal city. It was a strategic point from the fourth century BC to today. The most vivid reflection of this feature is the castle that has survived to the present day. It is possible to watch the perfect views of Kekova and its surroundings from this castle.

Kekova, which gives its name to the region, is the general name of both the 7.4-kilometer long island, which is 500 meters from the shore opposite Simena, and the area including Simena, Teimiussa (Üçağız), Aperlai (Sıcak) Pier, Akvaryum Bay, Gökkaya Bay.

Simena is located on the peninsula opposite Kekova Island. The northern coasts of Kekova Island facing Simena are full of traces of the civilization that was partially buried in the water during the earthquakes in ancient times, such as stone stairs, house ruins, pier ruins, half inside and half outside the water, extending to 4-5 meters deep into the sea. Between Kaleköy and Üçağız, the remains of a road and a dock can be seen between the small islets that were used as quarries for sarcophagi.

The ancient city of Limyra, located 108 km southwest of Antalya city center, within the borders of the Finike district, covers the area on the southern slopes of Mount Toçak. Early buildings are generally located on this Acropolis, and the site immediately south of it, now separated by a highway, within the Roman and Byzantine Age walls on the plain.

The Acropolis, located in the northernmost part of the ancient city, consists of an inner castle and a lower castle in the north. The lower court has fortifications, cisterns, a Byzantine Church, and the Heroon of Perikle. Where the Acropolis reaches the plain, there is the theatre building, which initially belonged to the Hellenistic period and underwent a significant repair in 141.

Limyra is one of the cities with the most rock tombs in Lycia. The ancient city has over 400 rock tombs, most known by name, with inscriptions written in the Lycian language.

The name of the ancient city of Arykanda, located 30 kilometers north of the district center of Finike and 140 kilometers southwest of the city center of Antalya, means Ary-ka-wanda, "the place next to the high rock" in the Lycian language. The fact that the city's name philologically reflects the native Anatolian language indicates that Arykanda is one of the oldest cities in the region. Based on finds other than a stone axe dating to 2,000 BC, it isn't easy to date the city before the fifth century BC.

In the second century BC, Arykanda appears to have minted coins as a city in the Lycian League. In 43 AD, when Emperor Klaudius ended the Lycian League, the town was made a province with the Lycian Region, Pamphylia, and was annexed to Rome. Partially restored after the great earthquake in 240 AD, the city was called Akalanda or Orykanda during Byzantine rule.

It is known that Xanthos, whose history dates back to 3000 BC, was the most significant administrative center and capital of Lycia in ancient times. Letoon, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1988 with Xanthos, is one of this period's most important religious centers.

Xanthos, where Sarpedon, who encouraged Prince Hector with the poem he wrote in the Trojan War, lived, is located in the east of the Muğla-Antalya provincial border separated by the Eşen Stream, within the boundaries of Antalya, near the town of Kınık. Letoon, on the other hand, is located just four to five kilometers west of Xanthos, within the borders of the Seydikemer district of Muğla.

Xanthos and Letoon are among the essential elements of world heritage in terms of their archaeological values. In these very close settlements are stone inscriptions where the most extended and crucial texts in the Lycian language can be seen.

Xanthos has the Xanthos Theatre with a capacity of 2200 people. This ancient theatre was built in the Hellenistic Period and renovated in the Roman Period. The square to the theatre's north, surrounded by entrances on all four sides, is the Roman Agora.

Patara Ancient City, located about 40 km west of Kaş, about 200 km west of Antalya city center, at the southwest end of the Xanthos Valley, is one of the most important and oldest cities of Lycia. Excavated in 1988, the ancient city of Patara is of great importance for its archaeological and historical values. It is one of the rare beaches where Mediterranean turtles Caretta-Caretta lay their eggs and breed for millions of years.

The city's name is even mentioned in Hittite texts dating back to the 13th century BC. While the ceramic fragments found in Tepecik Acropolis contain Middle Bronze Age features, the stone axe belonging to the pre-Iron Age, which was unearthed on the skirts of the eastern slope of Tepecik, shows how far back the history of Patara goes.

Saint Nicholas, known as Father Christmas, is from Patara. The city, which continued its importance during the Byzantine Period, became an important center for Christians. Patara, which maintained its reputation throughout the Middle Ages, reached our day as an important center with the arrival of the Turks.

Sillyon, a city of Pamphylia, is built on a hill with almost entirely steep slopes and a flat top. It is located 16 kilometers from Serik district center and 30 kilometers from Antalya city center. Like all other Pamphylia cities, Sillyon is generally accepted to have been founded by the heroes named Mopsos and Calchas after the Trojan War. The ancient city of Sillyon, where the Hellenistic city ruins are the densest within the borders of Antalya province, is also the city where Hellenistic defense is best represented. To visit Sillyon, you should be prepared for a challenging climb. However, the views you will see at the end of the promotion will be worth all this trouble.

Aspendos, located about 45 km east of Antalya city center, is famous for having the best preserved Roman theatre in Anatolia and the Mediterranean. The city was founded on a hill plain near Köprüçay (ancient Eurymedon), one of the largest rivers in the region. Aspendos, which owes its access to the Mediterranean and its development to the nearby river and thus to the fertile lands around it, is today visited mainly by the theatre and waterways. The ruins of other buildings belonging to the city are located on the plain of the hill where the theatre rests. 

The most brilliant period of the city is undoubtedly the Roman Imperial Period when the famous theatre and waterways were built.

Located 110 km east of Antalya city center and 40 km northwest of Alanya, the castle is on a pointed hill on the edge of the Alara Stream. It was reconstructed by the Seljuk Sultan Alaaddin Keykubat in 1232 and restored to its present appearance by preserving the Byzantine ruins. The castle was built to protect the main trade route and the Alara Inn. It is thought that commercial ships came to the front of the court then. The castle has inner and outer walls reinforced with towers. From the edge of the Alara Stream, you can reach the second fortification with a staircase carved into the rock.

Antalya Museum was founded in 1922 by teacher Süleyman Fikri Erten to protect the artifacts rescued from the looting of the occupation forces that came to the region after the First World War. The museum, which was first located in Alaaddin Mosque in Kaleiçi and later in Yivli Mosque, moved to its current building in 1972. Today, the Antalya Museum consists of 14 exhibition halls of 30 thousand square meters, open-air galleries where sculptures and various artifacts are exhibited, and a garden. A significant part of the three ancient cultural regions of Lycia, Pamphylia, and Pisidia, which are located within the borders of the Antalya Region, one of the wealthiest corners of Anatolia, which has witnessed the history of humanity without interruption, constitutes the responsibility area of the Antalya Museum. Antalya is a unique open-air museum and an international excavation center with its archaeological riches, and scientists from many countries carry out scientific excavations every year. The Antalya Museum carries out numerous rescue excavations and archaeological landscaping works in the region.

Ormana is a village of Ibradı on the Konya-Antalya caravan route of the Seljuks, near the Ancient Erymna City of the Roman period, which has witnessed settlement from the Hellenistic period to the present day. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Ormana, a hidden paradise on the foothills of the Taurus Mountains, which stood out as a center of knowledge and wealth, today offers visitors both the natural and cultural richness of the past.

Ormana, where history and culture blend with nature, is one of Turkey's untouched, unique corners. "Button Houses," which have defied history for hundreds of years, built only with stone and wood without any mortar material, are today under protection as Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Karain Cave is located 30 kilometers northwest of Antalya, within the borders of Yağca Village. Karain Cave, one of the largest natural caves in Turkey, is 150 meters above the travertine plain and 430-450 meters above the sea. The cave has been continuously inhabited by people starting from the Lower Palaeolithic, Middle and Upper Palaeolithic, Neolithic, Chalcolithic, Old Bronze, Prehistoric and Classical Ages. As a natural consequence, it contains a thick cultural deposit of about 11 meters. The use of the cave during the classical periods was more of a votive cave (temple), and there are Greek inscriptions and niches on the cave's forehead and outer walls. The archaeological finds obtained during the excavations in Karain Cave are exhibited in the Antalya Museum and the Karain Museum located near the cave.

Altınbeşik Cave is located on the west slope of the deep and steep Manavgat Valley, east of Ürünlü Village of İbradı district. The total length of the cave is 2,500 meters, and the highest point is 101 meters from the entrance. The cave is horizontal and partially active. As the lower and middle levels of the cave are operational from time to time, ponds are formed significantly in dry seasons. The upper level remains dry all the time.

The cave air is very humid, around 16-18 degrees. The karst topography and pine forests of the surroundings create a unique landscape. The water coming out of the cave is connected with Beyşehir Lake. Since the cave is in the water, traveling in the cave is done by rowboats and boats.

Beldibi Cave, located 28 km southwest of Antalya and about 20 km north of Kemer, is also an underground shelter. The cave, 25 meters above the sea coast, is Antalya's second most crucial prehistoric center. The cave is an archaeological site open to visitors at all times.

The cave's interior, which is 25 meters above the sea coast, has been extensively damaged due to natural destruction, and the filling layers have been washed away by rainwater and winds.

Excavations in Beldibi Cave revealed six layers, including Mesolithic cultures and flint tools from the Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods. Schematized paintings of humans, chamois, and deer are on the under-rock shelter's walls.

Tahtalı Mountain is located in the Beydağları National Park in Kemer district, west of Antalya city center. Although the mountain is close to Kemer's coastline, the hill's peak is 2,365 meters high.

Approximately 600 meters of the mountain can be reached by vehicles. After that point, the Olympos Cable Car takes you to the summit. While feeling the majesty of the hill on the one hand, on the other hand, you watch the blue of the Mediterranean Sea and find yourself at an altitude of 2,365 meters in about 10 minutes. In other words, you get out of the heat of the Mediterranean and meet very cool weather even in summer.

There are also ready-made programs where you can watch the sunrise and sunset from the summit of Tahtalı Mountain.

Köprülü Canyon National Park is located 85 km northeast of Antalya city center, 63 km northwest of Manavgat district, around the Köprüçay (Bridge) River. The rift valley formed by Köprüçay, which constitutes the resource value of the National Park, is one of the longest canyons in Turkey, with a length of 14 km and a wall height exceeding 100 meters. This natural area was reserved and declared a National Park in 1973.

Originating from the Taurus Mountains and passing through canyons of natural wonder, Köprüçay flows into the Mediterranean Sea south of Serik. The Köprüçay, fed by the groundwater in the ravines, which are steep on both sides and almost impossible to climb, creates one of Turkey's most beautiful natural recreation areas. In addition, many archaeological resources, such as the ancient city of Selge in the mountainous terrain to the west of the river, castles, aqueducts, Roman bridges, and historical roads on the banks of the river increase the importance of Köprülü Canyon.

Located 36 km southwest of Antalya city center, just north of Kemer, Göynük Canyon is a paradise with its magnificent nature, trees, natural waterfalls, and pools. The canyon is also located on the world-famous Lycian Way.

To reach the canyon, after passing through the toll booths and walking a little, you arrive at the artificial pond. The pond offers an impressive view with its lush green waters. You will see yourself resting and eating and drinking around the pond. You can also experience the zipline experience there. The zipline course is 40 meters above the ground and reaches speeds of up to 65 km per hour!

After the pond, you will arrive at the natural pool after a two-kilometer walk along the stream and in a unique nature. Rafting is also possible in the canyon. You can swim in the artificial pond and the natural pool above in summer.

Kekova is a long, thin island, 7.4 km long and about 500 meters wide, opposite the villages of Uçağız (Teimiusa) and Kale (Simena). A turquoise sea surrounds the island, the highest peak of which is 188 meters.

Kekova is an island that has become increasingly popular in recent years. Boat tours from Çayağzı (Andriake) started to be called "Kekova Tour"; more importantly, the archaeological natural protection areas on and around the island were named Kekova Protected Area.

Kekova and its surroundings, which have one of the cleanest seas not only in Antalya but also in the whole Mediterranean world, owe this cleanliness to the fact that it is protected. The island has never had the characteristics of a city like the two small harbors opposite it; instead, it was used as a shelter for sailors, a shipbuilding and repair base, protecting the two cities against the Mediterranean like a curtain.

Kaş is a small district located in the west of Antalya, with songs written for it; it is preferred for relaxing and having fun, draws you in with its narrow streets and smiling people, and deserves to be described with the word cute.

Kas promises you dozens of activities. The most popular of these may be hopping on the boats departing from the small harbor of Kaş and visiting the turquoise-colored calm bays. Moreover, these tranquil bays have the most popular diving spots in Turkey and Europe. Canyon, Dimitri (Cotton) Wreck, Besmi Island, Big Cave, Uçanbalık Bank, and Limanağzı are the most well-known and promising diving spots in Kaş.

Konyaalti Beach, one of the most well-known beaches in Turkey, is located only eight kilometers west of Antalya city center, that is, in the city itself. The 7.5 km long beach with a Blue Flag is one of Antalya's most critical natural symbols.
