From stunning beaches and a host of historical sights to magical waterfalls, there are plenty of things to do in Antalya. If you’re looking for a fun-filled day out, whitewater rafting in Koprulu Canyon National Park is a great option.

If you’re a history buff, Perge is one of the top places to see in Antalya. It boasts a range of incredible ruins, including one of the world’s best-preserved Roman theatres.

4. Duden Waterfalls

Located in the Upper Duden Park, Antalya's Upper Duden Waterfall offers a serene retreat from city life. It is a perfect picnic spot and day trip destination for those looking for something a little more adventurous from the city center.

The falls form a curtain of water that rises 15 meters high and splashes to the rocks below. The falls also have a natural cave behind them that is popular with swimmers.

The waterfall is a must-see on any trip to Antalya. It's also a great place to escape the sun and enjoy a swim!

5. Antalya Aquarium

Antalya Aquarium is one of the best places to visit if you love marine life. With an impressive collection of sharks, tropical fish, and other sea creatures, it is the perfect place to learn about ocean wildlife.

As one of the biggest aquarium complexes in the world, Antalya Aquarium offers inspiration, entertainment, and education all at once. It features 40 thematic aquariums and the world’s largest tunnel aquarium, 131 meters long and 3 meters wide.

The decorations in the main tank were designed by Italian sculptor Benedetti and show the underwater world of a coral reef. You can also see an airplane, ship wrecks, and a submarine in the tank.

6. Turkish Ice Cream

Turkish Ice Cream is a unique kind of ice cream that was first discovered as an extension of a type of iced dessert called "Karsambac" in Ottoman palaces. This food item was made by mixing sugar, milk and salep (wild orchid root powder) in skilled hands.

This traditional ice cream differs from other ice cream in its pleasant flavor, aroma, hard yet flexible consistency, bright white color and resistance to melting along the low temperature. It stays in this state for a long time thanks to its special shock methods.
