About
Descend from Kaleici to the Antalya Marina via very steep stone steps. Bring sturdy shoes so as not to slip. It's well worth the effort because the marina is a lovely crescent-shaped place where fishing boats rub shoulders with smart yachts. Watch the fishermen sell their latest catch and chat with yacht owners. A few small cafes offer coffee or tea. Look back up toward the plateau, which forms the basis of Antalya and get a special view of the landmarks from down below.

- Aijamal ABishkek, Kyrgyzstan6 contributionsNice but a bit messy place to walk aroundA nice place to visit, there are some cool views on the sea (especially from up above), they have an elevator so it was very helpful to go up with a stroller, they have dinings and souvenir shops, pretty much everything. A little irritating ice-cream seller who constantly insist on buying an ice cream (which o noted was little more expensive), and the area is pretty messy, lots of trash lying around, other than that, pretty cool place to chill around. They offer different boat tours (from around $10 to $40) but locals said it’s a bit pricey there. Will visit old city marina again.Visited June 2022Traveled with familyWritten June 29, 2022
- Bogdan2005Bucharest, Romania449 contributionsBeautiful restored Old City and MarinaWe visitied the Old City of Antalya after almost 20 years from our first visit, while in our golf week in Belek. First time we were impressed but this time we were really delighted by the beautifully refurbished mix of traditional, monument and religious buildings (e.g. Hadrian Arch, mosques and towers, fortress) surrounded everywhere by full of charm restaurants and interior gardens, paved streets, excellent restaurants and small parks with views towards Taurus Mountains and the Golf of Antalya. A really amazing place, very well refurbished for the joy of turists and locals. A place not to be missed if you are in Antalya or around.Visited March 2021Traveled with familyWritten March 24, 2021
- Beecake03Coventry, United Kingdom3 contributionsVisit only if staying in Kaleici area...Myself and My partner decided to pay a visit to the Marina on our last day during our stay in Kaleici. The strip is full of restaurants and little cafes all around so looking for something too eat wasn't an issue. To access the 'beachy' area you are required to pay 70 TL per person and this allows you to come and go as many times as you wish from 7am - 9pm for that day. Just make sure you keep your ticket safe as you will be required to show this every time you wish to come back. The beach was a pebble beach and there were sun loungers laid out all over (no additional fees required for one of these). It was nice to be able to relax in the sun on our last day aswell as have a dip in the sea - which was quite cold to start with but after a while your body adjusts to the temperature. The whole experience was nice however if I was not staying in the Kaleici area then I probably would not make a special trip down to the Marina as I do believe there are better beach areas around Antalya and I much prefer a sandy beach!Visited July 2022Traveled as a coupleWritten July 4, 2022

This is a general comment from a person, family that calls this city a 'Second Home' after 10-12 years. The pollution at night in the winter months has become unbearable and I would think almost at dangerous levels. Something has changed in the last 1-2 years. You can not leave the window of your home open at night for fresh or clean air. The matter should be addressed by the authorities, as I would imagine, personal livelihoods and health would be at stake in the long run
December -Feb months are the worst. which is a shame when the nights; with calm sea and moon, are spectacular and a peaceful to view from this corner of the world, yet the smell can be terrible, if not for the health of Antalya inhabitants.
I understand the pollution is due to greenhouses burring coal and any other matter on hand that they can find (that is cheap), to keep greenhouses temperatures high, encouraging agriculture growth (fruit and veggies).
Hope this matter can be addressed at soonest. I not want to return with this bad air in these months.

The old Marina is set at the foot of Kaleici old town in Antalya. Passing a picturesque bazaar you descend a steep hill via alleys or steps and reach the horseshoe shaped marina.
During the day many boat excursions start from here, while at night it's more relaxing with cafes and restaurants you can visit.

During my recent visit I took the time to view the old marina had a drink in one of the cliff side cafes overlooking the boats, restaurants &shops below. Even though we were visiting in January the sea was calm the sun shining and the atmosphere relaxing. Watching the boats out at sea and gliding back into the sheltered harbour. Wish I had more time to wonder around the water front but definitely next time.

The Old city marina, boat launch, seafood restaurants and the local feel of a marina that has been here for a long time. This is the place to get your seafood grove on with shrimp the size of small birds. 😮 trust me I seen them myself, enjoy, also most tour launch from this spot for waterfall trips.

The marina is a well resored area where the ancient and first harbour of the cıty was located. Use your imagination to see the pebbly beach where trıremes would have been pulled up and Roman cargo boats loading and offloading wonder things from all over the empire. There are many cafes for a cold drink and fish restaurants for seafood. The old town is quite atmospheric.

Access to the marina is steep. Once there, the nice setting is rather ruined by the number of tour boats offering trips. The setting could be really nice but they haven't made the most of it. Usual cheap tourist tat and restaurants.

We got a taxi here from Lara Beach and it was well worth it.
The marina is really picturesque and you can get to the old town easily from there.
There’s lots of shops nearby although you literally get hounded to go in them all which can get a bit annoying when all you want to do is have a browse/ stroll pass.

1 saatlik süren tekne turları fiyatlar mevsimine göre değişiyor. Biraz pazarlık payı da oluyor yani 20 TL derlerse 15 e falan anlaşabilirsiniz kalabalık ailelere de ortalama makul bir fiyat söylüyorlar. Onlarca tekne var istediğinizi seçebilirsiniz 😊

The harbour area is open to everyone but you may have to use the steps very late at night as the lift may not operate 24 hours a day. Obviously the bars, shops and restaurants have their own opening hours.
