The old town, with its very narrow streets really keeps traffic to a bare minimum, allowing a gentle stroll through the streets, where you don't have to talk loud to hear yourself speak.

This an open historical old city, like the old buildings & mosques, the sea cruise was the beast thing in this place, about 90 min., but I like it.

The history, we enjoyed comparing the old with the new To feel we were walking in the same places as all those who had gone centuries before

What a lovely discovery to have on our travels! We came for a couple days but decided to stay a week! If you come to Antalya, you must stay in the old town (or Kaleici). It's a charming area with winding narrow streets and lots of character. There are plenty of quaint little cafes and shops in the area along... More

I lived in this part of Antalya for one and a half month, and it was amazing. Kaleici means inside a castle, and that's just what this lively part of Antalya is, it's surrounded by walls from an old castle. The narrow streets and the old buildings harmonize well with the ancient ruins, the climbing plants and the palm trees.... More

Lovely old harbour and winding streets make it a really nice place to visit the streets seem to go on forever with some wonderful very old buildings. Stayed in a very old traditional hotel Tutav Adalya- which I would recommend (no balconies though- but great position right on the harbour front). It's expensive though and seems some places just want... More

I had a walk through the stony narrow streets, and very old houses, the peace and the atmosphere had me gone away to old days.. the night got perfect by having a view of harbor and walking on the sea side. If you go to Antalya make sure you do not miss this place. I loved it.

The Old Town is delightful with many bars, restaurants and shops and of course a great Roman Harbour and stunning location. In spring this is delightful and the shopkeepers are very friendly. In summer though the place is heaving and so spring and autumn are the best seasons here. Still very charming

Had a meal at the Kaleici restaurant, stunning view up on top. Loads of shops nearby with all fake goods for sell. Great weather the day I was there, got stunning view of the pier dock and the old town area.
